JoSAA 2026 Allotment Round 4 (OUT) LIVE: Counselling Opening & Closing Ranks OUT for IITs, NITs, IIITs & GFTIs

The candidates allotted seats have to upload the document in the online JoSAA 2026 portal for verification. These documents are verified the verification officers. These officers will then post queries under the queries if required under the login of the candidates. These queries must be addressed by the candidates by the set time limit. If the queries are left unanswered, then the candidates will not be allowed to take part in the further counselling process, and they will lose their allotted seat.

No. The JoSAA choice-filling process does not open again after round 4 or any other rounds. The choice filling process ended on June 11. Candidates can no longer modify or edit their choices.

This is how the JoSAA 2026 seat allotment letter will look:

Verification officers may raise queries online regarding uploaded documents. Candidates must monitor the portal and respond with valid documents within the stipulated deadline. Failure to resolve the query will lead to seat cancellation and elimination from the JoSAA counselling process.

No. You must pay the fee and complete online reporting within the round's deadline. Failure to do so cancels the allocated seat and permanently disqualifies you from participating in any subsequent JoSAA rounds.

• Freeze: Select this if you are 100% satisfied with your current allotment and want to lock the college and branch permanently. Choosing this means you exit the upgrade pool and will not participate in any upcoming counselling rounds.
• Float: Select this to provisionally accept your current seat but remain eligible for an upgrade to any higher-preference college or branch in your choice list. If a better seat opens up in a future round, you are automatically upgraded; if not, you retain your current seat.
• Slide: Select this to accept your current college but keep the option open to upgrade to a better academic program within the same institute.

Candidates who selected Float or Slide may receive upgraded institutes or branches depending on seat availability.

Candidates can change their option from float to slide/freeze, and from slide to freeze via the online portal during any round except the last one. However, the Freeze option cannot be changed once selected.
