The wait is over for lakhs of JEE aspirants. The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) released the JoSAA 2026 Mock Seat Allotment Round 1 result on June 8, 2026, at the official portal josaa.nic.in. If you filled and saved your choices by the June 7 deadline, your probable seat is ready to be viewed right now. This is not the final allotment — it is your best strategic tool before locking choices forever.
FAQ in brief: Is JoSAA 2026 Mock Allotment Round 1 out? Yes. It went live on June 8, 2026. Login at josaa.nic.in with your JEE Main application number and password to check it.
The mock allotment gives candidates an estimate of the college and course they may secure based on their JEE rank and the choices they have filled. Since the allotment is provisional, candidates can use the outcome to review and modify their preferences before the final choice-locking deadline.
Think of it as a simulation run of the actual algorithm. The mock allotment algorithm simulates how your rank competes for seats across all participating institutes based on your saved choice list. Use it ruthlessly — even a single reordering of your preference list can shift your final allotment from your third-choice branch to your dream programme.
JoSAA 2026 covers seat allocation across 138 centrally funded institutes, including 23 IITs, 31 NITs, 26 IIITs, and 58 or more GFTIs. The stakes are enormous, and the mock allotment is your dress rehearsal.

This is where most students lose marks they never needed to lose. Here is a clear action plan:
If you are happy with the allotted seat: Review once more against last year's opening and closing ranks. If the allotment looks stable, retain your preferences — but still wait for Mock Round 2 on June 10 before locking.
If you are not happy with the allotted seat: Act immediately. Consider reordering choices by moving your most-desired colleges and branches to the top of your list, since the algorithm allocates from the top down. Add safer options by including institutes with lower cutoffs that align with your rank — these act as backup allotments. Remove colleges or branches you are no longer interested in to avoid an accidental allotment you would have to forfeit.
Expert tip: Rather than changing the complete order extensively, try adding more options to the choice list. Review last year's opening and closing ranks. It is important to apply to several institutes rather than focusing on just one. If you see in the JoSAA mock results that you got a college that was your second or third choice, consider changing your preferences and see what happens in the next round of mock results.
FAQ in brief: Should I lock choices after Mock Round 1? It is highly recommended to wait for Round 2 of mock allotment and then lock your choices. Round 2 mock allotment releases June 10, giving you one final read before the June 11 deadline.
Candidates who save or modify their choices by June 9 will also be considered for the mock seat allotment Round 2, scheduled to be released on June 10. The deadline to save choices for Round 2 eligibility is June 9 at 5:00 PM. Do not treat this as optional — Round 2 gives you a second simulation run with your revised preferences and is your last data point before the system permanently locks choices on June 11.
Candidates are given only one chance to enter their choices, edit them, and rearrange them before the choice filling deadline. All candidates must save and lock their choices within the prescribed deadline. There is no grace period, no re-opening, and no appeal mechanism after June 11. Treat this deadline as a board exam date.
Additionally, once actual seat allotment begins: when allocated a seat for the first time, candidates must pay the fee during that specific round. Failing to pay the fee means rejecting the offer, which immediately disqualifies the candidate from participating in any subsequent JoSAA 2026 seat allotment rounds.
There will be five counselling rounds in JoSAA 2026. Any seats remaining vacant after the final JoSAA round will be filled through the CSAB counselling process. JoSAA 2026 is conducting two mock allotment rounds — Mock Round 1 on June 8 and Mock Round 2 on June 10, 2026.
IIT Roorkee has allowed candidates below 75% in Class 12 to participate in JoSAA counselling. Affected candidates should verify their eligibility details carefully on the official portal before making final choices.
