The DASA Round 1 result may show one of the following outcomes:
- A seat has been allotted for the first time.

What to Do After DASA Round 1 Result 2026?
Candidates who have received a seat must download their Initial Seat Allotment Intimation Slip and select the appropriate willingness option before the deadline.
| Option | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Freeze | Accept the allotted seat and do not seek an upgrade in the next round |
| Float | Retain the allotted seat while seeking a higher-preference programme at any participating institute |
| Slide | Retain the seat while seeking a higher-preference programme within the same institute |
| Surrender | Reject the allotted seat and participate in Round 2 for choices placed above the surrendered seat |
| Withdraw | Reject the allotted seat and leave the DASA seat allocation process |
| Exit | Leave the counselling process when no seat has been allotted |
Candidates should exercise these options carefully because some decisions cannot be reversed. Once Freeze is selected, it cannot later be changed to Float, Slide or Surrender.
If a candidate does not submit a willingness option, the system will generally move the candidate to the next round with Float as the default option. If the candidate has received the first choice, Freeze will be treated as the default option.
Candidates who had already secured an NIT+ seat through JoSAA should note that if a new seat is allotted through DASA, the previously secured JoSAA seat will be automatically cancelled.
DASA Round 1 Reporting Process After Seat Allotment
The DASA Round 1 willingness submission window will remain open from August 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM to August 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM.
Candidates allotted a seat should complete the following steps:
- Log in to the counselling portal: Check the allotted institute, programme and DASA category.
- Download the allotment slip: Download and save the Initial Seat Allotment Intimation Slip.
- Select a willingness option: Choose Freeze, Float, Slide, Surrender or Withdraw according to your admission decision.
- Check the confirmation status: Ensure that the selected willingness option appears correctly on the candidate dashboard.
- Monitor Round 2: Candidates choosing Float, Slide or Surrender should check the DASA Round 2 result on August 12, 2026.
- Check institute instructions: Visit the allotted institute’s official website for physical reporting dates, required documents and balance-fee details.
- Prepare original documents: Keep all eligibility, nationality, residential and academic documents ready for physical verification.
- Complete physical reporting: Report to the allotted institute and pay the applicable balance institute or admission fee.
DASA document verification is completed before candidates become eligible for choice filling and seat allotment. Therefore, the post-allotment process for DASA candidates mainly involves exercising willingness and completing physical reporting at the admitting institute.
The tentative physical reporting period is from August 13 to August 18, 2026. Candidates must check the allotted institute’s website for the actual reporting date, commencement of classes, balance-fee payment and document requirements.
What If No Seat Is Allotted in DASA Round 1?
Candidates who do not receive a seat in DASA Round 1 may remain eligible for the second round of seat allotment. Their locked choices will generally be considered again, provided they remain eligible and do not select the Exit option.
The DASA Round 2 Result 2026 is scheduled to be released on August 12, 2026, at 5:00 PM. During Round 2, vacant CIWG seats may be converted into Non-CIWG seats according to the DASA counselling rules.
Candidates should continue checking the official portal for updates and should not assume that no allotment in Round 1 means the end of their admission chances.
DASA Round 1 Result 2026: Conclusion
The DASA Round 1 Result 2026 has been released for candidates seeking undergraduate admission to NITs, IIEST, IIITs, SPAs, GFTIs and other participating institutes under the Direct Admission of Students Abroad scheme.
Candidates should check their result through the official portal, download the Initial Seat Allotment Intimation Slip and submit the correct willingness option before the deadline. Those who do not receive a seat should wait for the DASA Round 2 Result 2026, as their locked choices may still be considered.
