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.
