Seat allocation in IITs and IISc relies entirely on JEE Advanced 2026 ranks. Conversely, the NIT+ System utilises JEE Main 2026 ranks. The JEE Apex Board prepares ten rank lists for B.E./B.Tech, B.Arch, and B.Plan papers to process all allotments without applying tie-breaking norms.

The process after allotment of seats during JoSAA counselling are as follows:

1. Accept the allocated seat by selecting Freeze, Float, or Slide
2. Upload all required documents on the portal
3. Pay the seat acceptance fee
4. Respond to any queries raised by the verification officer

After round 2 seat allotment is out, the JoSAA 2026 online reporting will be held from June 30 to July 5.

Check seat quota for OCI and PIO candidates:

• Candidates who obtained OCI/PIO cards before March 4, 2021, and opted for Indian national parity compete for OPEN category seats
• They are ineligible for GEN-EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, or ST reservations
• OCI/PIO cards obtained after March 4, 2021, restrict candidates to foreign supernumerary seats

The category-wise cut-off marks for the top 20 percentile are derived from the marks scored by successful candidates in their respective board examinations. For PwD candidates, the required cut-off matches the lowest threshold among the GEN, OBC-NCL, SC, and ST categories.

• Class X Certificate or Birth Certificate for age proof.
• Class XII Mark Sheet and Certificate.
• JEE Main/Advanced Admit Card.
• Category or PwD Certificates, if applicable.
• Medical Certificate.
• Crossed bank cheque copy for potential refunds.

PwD candidates without a valid UDID card must visit designated reporting centres for physical verification in JoSAA counselling. For IIT admissions, candidates must complete this by the end of the round in which they are allocated a seat to prevent cancellation.

The JoSAA 2026 round 2 cutoff and allotment will be out today, June 30, on or after 5 PM.
