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.

Yes, students may get a seat in NIT Puducherry BTech with 92 percentile in JEE Main through JoSAA counselling. The cutoff is high for specialisations, such as CSE. With NITPY being one of the top institutes and part of the NIT Tag, the cutoff is always high. But 92 percentile can be enough for later

Think of JoSAA as a matching service. After your JEE Advanced results, you'll log into the JoSAA portal and rank your preferred branches at IIT Dharwad. The system then looks at your All India Rank (AIR) and your choices to offer you the best possible seat. Once a seat is offered, you'll pay the fee

After logging into JoSAA with your JEE credentials, you must list your preferred institutes and branches in order of priority. Please ensure that you are listing IIIT Pune and your desired branch (e.g., CSE or IT) higher in your list to increase allotment chances based on your rank.

The NIT Srinagar BTech seat allotment is first done through the JoSAA counseling. The allotment of seats is based on a candidate's JEE Mains score. However, if after the seat allotment, there are still some vacant seats for the BTech course, they are filled through the CSAB counseling.
