How seats are allotted
- The JEE Main 2026 Common Rank List is used as it is. DASA does not apply any tie-breaking rule.
- If several candidates share a rank and seats fall short, extra supernumerary seats are created for them.
- A seat is given to the highest possible choice considering your category tag, rank, choice order and seat availability.
