Following the declaration of results, the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counselling process and Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) registration have begun for eligible candidates. While AAT registration opened on June 1, JoSAA counselling registration and choice filling are scheduled to begin on June 2.
The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) conducts the centralised admission process for over 120 premier technical institutions across the country, including 23 IITs, 31 NITs, 26 IIITs, and several Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs).
Admissions to the IITs are based on candidates’ JEE Advanced ranks, while seats in NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs are allotted using JEE Main ranks. Through the JoSAA portal, candidates must register, fill out and lock their preferred institute-programme combinations, participate in seat allotment rounds, and complete online reporting procedures after receiving a seat allotment.
Candidate registration and choice filling for academic programmes under JoSAA 2026 opens on Tuesday, June 2, at 5 pm IST and closes on Thursday, June 11, at 5 pm, after which choices will be automatically locked by the system. Candidates who do not lock their choices manually before the deadline will have their choices system-locked at the cut-off time. As per the released schedule, this year, a five-round process will be held for seat allocation, which will span nearly seven weeks.
Before the first round of actual seat allocation, JoSAA will release two mock seat allocations — a facility that allows candidates to gauge where their choices are likely to land before seats are formally assigned.
–Mock Seat Allocation 1 — June 8 at 2 pm, based on choices filled as of June 7 at 8 pm
