Candidates who completed registration and filled their choices before 8 PM on June 7 can now log in to the JoSAA portal and view their tentative seat allotment. The mock allotment is designed to help students assess their admission prospects and make informed changes to their preferences before the final choice-locking deadline.

What is JoSAA Mock Seat Allotment?

The JoSAA mock allotment is a provisional seat allocation released before the actual counselling rounds begin. It is generated based on:

Candidate's JEE Main or JEE Advanced rank
Category and reservation status
Choices filled by the candidate
Seat availability

The allotment is only indicative and does not guarantee admission to the allotted programme or institute. It helps candidates understand their likely admission outcome and revise their choices if necessary.

Why is the Mock Allotment Important?

The mock allotment provides valuable insights to students before the final seat allocation rounds.

Benefits include:

Understanding admission chances in preferred colleges.
Reviewing current choice preferences.
Reordering or modifying choices strategically.
Improving the possibility of securing a preferred branch or institution.
Identifying realistic admission options based on rank.

Candidates can still edit and rearrange their choices after viewing the mock allotment.
