New Delhi, June 10: The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) has released the Mock Seat Allotment 2 result for JoSAA Counselling 2026, providing engineering aspirants with a final opportunity to review and modify their college and branch preferences before the commencement of actual seat allocation rounds.
The second mock allotment has been prepared based on the choices filled by candidates till 5 PM on June 9, 2026. Candidates can check their mock allotment status through the official JoSAA counselling portal and make necessary changes to their preference order before the choice-filling deadline.
What is JoSAA Mock Seat Allotment?
Mock seat allotment is a trial allocation process conducted by JoSAA to help candidates understand their probable admission prospects based on:
- JEE Main or JEE Advanced rank
- Category and quota eligibility
- Choices filled by candidates
- Seat availability in participating institutes
The allotment is purely indicative and does not guarantee the same result in the actual counselling rounds. Students are encouraged to use the mock allotment outcome to refine their preference list strategically.
