JoSAA Counselling 2026 Mock Round 2 Seat Allotment List Released; Choice Locking Active

The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) has released the second mock seat allotment list for JoSAA Counselling 2026. Candidates who have registered for the counselling process can now check their mock allotment status on the official website, josaa.nic.in.

The second mock seat allotment was prepared based on the choices filled by candidates up to 5 PM on June 9, 2026. Along with the release of the allotment list, JoSAA has also activated the choice-locking facility, allowing candidates to finalise their preferred academic programmes and institutes before the deadline.

The mock seat allotment is a provisional allocation released to help candidates understand how their current choices may translate into actual seat allotments. It enables aspirants to review, modify, reorder or lock their preferences before the final choice-filling window closes.
