Once you get your seat, you’ll need to act fast:
Freeze: Accept allotted seat, exit further rounds
Float: Accept seat, but open to better options
Slide: Accept seat and wait for a better branch in same institute
Upload:
Class 10 & 12 mark sheets
Category certificates
JEE scorecard
Seat acceptance payment receipt
Smart Strategy:
Look for less-popular branches in top colleges
Don’t hesitate to switch from IITs to NITs if getting a better branch
GFTIs often have hidden gems
Ideal for:
Those who didn’t get a seat yet
Candidates unhappy with current seat
Those hoping for a better branch/college combination
Take Rohit’s example from 2024:
He was stuck with a GFTI in Round 2 but upgraded to NIT Trichy CSE in Round 3.
Moral? Don’t lose hope.
Past Trends:
Round 3 typically sees 5-10% seat reshuffling
Popular branches still available at NITs and IIITs
Vacancies open up due to reporting failures
Missing the deadline to accept seat
Not uploading required documents
Ignoring Float/Slide options
Not checking mail/SMS updates from JoSAA
Don’t panic—there’s still hope:
Round 4, 5, and 6 can bring surprises
Participate in CSAB special round
Consider state-level counselling options too
Be Realistic: Don’t expect miracles in every round
Have Backup Plans: Private colleges, state counselling
