Josaa 2026 Counselling Second Mock Seat Allotment Released

as of June 9, by 5 pm. This is the second allotment round that JoSAA conducts before the actual seat allocation begins. The mock allotments are designed to give candidates a preview of where they are likely to be placed, based on their current preference order and their rank in JEE Main or JEE Advanced 2026. Mock allocation 2 is the last opportunity for candidates to review their likely seat outcomes and revise their choice list before locking. Once choices are locked, they cannot be changed. Candidates who do not lock their choices manually before the deadline should note that the system will automatically finalise their last saved preference order. Candidates are advised to treat this round carefully. Both mock allotments together give a picture of how the preference list is performing; if the second mock result differs significantly from the first, it may indicate that other candidates have been revising their choices in the same bracket, affecting likely outcomes. Reviewing previous year opening and closing ranks for shortlisted institutes and programmes can help build a more realistic and strategic list before locking.
