JoSAA 2026 Round 6 Final Allotment

The final round of JoSAA 2026 — expected early July 2026. After this, physical reporting at your allotted institute begins.

JoSAA 2026 Round 6 Overview

Round 6 is the final allotment round of JoSAA 2026. After 5 rounds of upgrades and seat movement, Round 6 gives final allotments. Candidates who chose "Float" in Round 5 and got an upgrade will see their final seat. Those who chose "Freeze" earlier will retain that seat. After Round 6, no more changes are possible within JoSAA — you must report to your allotted institute to secure admission.

Round 6 allotments are generally "Freeze only" — meaning once you receive your Round 6 allotment, it is your final seat. The option to Float or Slide is not available after Round 6. The entire counselling process culminates with physical reporting at institutes, which happens in mid-to-late July 2026.

Common questions about JoSAA 2026 Round 6 final allotment

Is there a Round 7 in JoSAA 2026?

JoSAA 2026 conducts exactly 6 rounds. There is no Round 7 in JoSAA. After Round 6, CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) conducts 2 special rounds for unfilled seats in NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. Candidates who did not get any seat in JoSAA rounds can participate in CSAB special rounds.

What happens to candidates who still don't have a seat after Round 6?

Candidates without a seat after JoSAA Round 6 can: (1) Register for CSAB 2026 special rounds for NIT/IIIT/GFTI vacancies. (2) Participate in state counselling (TNEA, MHT-CET, KCET, etc.).
