✔️Do’s after JoSAA 2025 Mock Allotment
- First, check if you received an allotment for your top choice.
- Review last year's opening and closing ranks.
- It is important to apply to several institutes rather than focusing on just one. So, make sure to list five colleges you like as your top choices.
- 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.
- If you have a specific region or area where you want to study, list your preferred college from that area as your first choice and nearby colleges as your next options.
❌ Don’ts after JoSAA 2025 Mock Allotment
- If you received an allotment that matches your first choice in the first or second JoSAA mock allotment, then do not change the list of choices.
- While making any changes in the JoSAA choice filling list, candidates must take a look at the previous year's closing and opening ranks to make informed choices and decisions.
