JoSAA 2026 Mock Seat Allotment Released; Round 1 Seat Allocation Result on June 13

New Delhi, June 8, 2026: The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) has released the first Mock Seat Allotment for JoSAA Counselling 2026 today, June 8. Candidates who have completed registration and filled their choices can now check their probable seat allotment through the official JoSAA counselling portal. The mock allotment is designed to help students assess their current preferences and make changes before the final choice-locking deadline.

The first mock allotment has been prepared based on the choices submitted by candidates up to June 7. It provides an indication of the institute and branch that a candidate may receive if seat allocation were conducted at this stage. Since it is only a trial allotment, no seat is actually allocated during this process.

Why the Mock Seat Allotment Matters

The mock allotment allows candidates to:

• Evaluate their chances of admission based on current choices.
• Reorder branch and college preferences.
• Add or remove options from the choice list.
• Improve the possibility of securing a preferred institute or branch.
• Make informed decisions before final choice locking.

Candidates are advised to carefully review the allotment and revise their preferences if necessary.
