If you had a pending Round 1 query: Candidates whose Round 1 allotment showed a pending verification query were required to respond by June 29, 2026, 5:00 PM IST, one day before the Round 2 result. Failure to respond marks the reporting status as Incomplete and may result in seat cancellation, regardless of the Round 2 outcome.
JoSAA Round 2 Seat Allotment 2026
Once published, Round 2 allotments will be generated from seats vacated by Round 1 withdrawals, plus upgrades for candidates who selected Float or Slide. If a candidate chose Float in Round 1, they will automatically be considered for any higher-preference seat that becomes available; if no such seat opens up, their Round 1 allotment is retained without any action needed. Candidates without a Round 1 allotment will also be considered fresh in Round 2 based on seat availability and their locked choice list.
Historically, Round 2 closing ranks show limited movement for the most popular branches (CSE, AI, Data Science) and larger movement for less competitive branches (Mechanical, Civil, Metallurgical, Production) as candidates with better ranks confirm seats elsewhere and vacate their lower preferences. Candidates who did not receive their desired branch in Round 1 should not be discouraged. JoSAA 2026 has three rounds remaining after Round 2, with the upcoming ones scheduled for July 6, July 10, and July 16, which is the Final Round of seat allocation for IITs and IISc. NIT+ system candidates (NITs, IIITs, GFTIs) who wish to continue can later check the CSAB website for partial admission fee details and special rounds.

JoSAA Round 2 Allotment PDF 2026
Once the Round 2 result is declared, candidates with an active allotment can download a provisional allotment letter in PDF format directly from josaa.nic.in. This document is the primary proof of allotment and is required at every subsequent stage, from online reporting to physical joining at the allotted institute. The table below explains exactly what information appears on this PDF.
Detail Shown on the Round 2 Allotment PDF | Description |

What to Do After JoSAA Round 2 Seat Allotment?
Once the Round 2 result is declared today, candidates with an active allotment must complete several steps within the reporting window (June 30 to July 3, 2026). Missing any deadline results in the seat being cancelled and the candidate being excluded from subsequent JoSAA rounds, with no reinstatement possible.
- Check your allotted institute, branch, category, and quota carefully against your expectations and your locked choice list
- Download the provisional allotment letter and the Round 2 OR-CR PDF for your records
- Pay the Seat Acceptance Fee if this is your first allotment in the JoSAA 2026 cycle; the deadline is July 3, 2026, 5:00 PM IST
- Upload all required documents and respond promptly to any verification queries; unresolved queries lead to automatic seat cancellation
- Decide between Freeze, Float, or Slide based on whether you are satisfied with the current allotment or want to pursue an upgrade in Round 3
- If you intend to withdraw entirely, submit the withdrawal request within the July 1 to July 3 window and respond to any related query by July 5
- If fee payment fails due to a technical issue, use the July 4, 2026 resolution window to complete the payment before the seat is forfeited
If you did not receive an allotment in Round 2: No action is required to remain eligible for Round 3, 4, and 5. Candidates without an allotment in any round automatically continue to be considered in subsequent rounds based on their original locked choice list, without needing to re-register or pay any additional fee at this stage.
