Shiksha Poll: Were you allotted seat in JoSAA round 2 counselling?

As per the poll conducted by shiksha.com, after round 2, 58% of the candidates who took the poll are still awaiting seat allotment. While 33% have been allotted a seat, but have opted for upgradation. The rest of the 9% candidates said that they got the seat they wanted in round 2.

What does the Poll Result Signify for JoSAA 2025 Round 3?

JoSAA round 3 might see increase in availability of sears across colleges and categories. There will be many vacancies and cutoffs. This might be benefical for candidates with lower ranks in getting a seat.

Candidates who have held a seat and requested upgradation, round 3 will give them another chance to move up without losing their current allocation if no upgrade comes through.

The candidates who are seatless, Round 3 is likely their best short-term opportunity to get into a decent branch/institute before later rounds thin out more choices.

The poll data reveal that in the JoSAA round 3 counselling, there is a better chance of getting a seat in a better college. Many students have rejected the seats and choose to participate in the further round. So, it is best time to take action and choose a better college and course.
