How to Check the Round 2 Result

Candidates should log in to the JoSAA portal and open the Round 2 seat-allotment result. The result will show the allotted institute, programme and current allocation status.

After checking the result, students should download the allotment letter and review the institute and branch details carefully. (College Nirnay)

Freeze, Float or Slide

Candidates receiving a seat can choose from three options:

Freeze: Accept the current seat and stop participating in further rounds.

Float: Retain the current seat while remaining eligible for a higher-preference institute or programme.

Slide: Retain the allotted institute while seeking a higher-preference programme within the same institute.

Students should select the option according to their preference order and willingness to participate in later rounds. (College Nirnay)

Seat-Acceptance Fee and Reporting

Candidates accepting the allotted seat must pay the seat-acceptance fee and complete online document reporting within the official deadline. Missing the payment or reporting deadline may lead to cancellation of the allotted seat.

The seat-acceptance fee is adjusted against the institute fee later, subject to JoSAA rules. (College Nirnay)

Documents Required

Candidates should keep scanned copies and original documents ready, including:

Class 10 and Class 12 certificates

JEE Main or JEE Advanced scorecard

JoSAA allotment letter

Category or EWS certificate, where applicable

Government-issued photo ID

Passport-size photographs

Medical fitness certificate, where required

Seat-acceptance fee receipt

Institute-specific requirements should also be checked before physical reporting. (College Nirnay)

Round 2 Cutoff

JoSAA publishes programme-wise opening and closing ranks for IITs, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs. Candidates should compare their rank with the Round 2 cutoff before choosing Freeze, Float or Slide.

Those who did not receive a seat in Round 2 generally remain eligible for the next round if they had already submitted valid choices. (College Nirnay)

Final Thoughts

Candidates allotted a seat should act quickly by downloading the allotment letter, selecting the appropriate acceptance option, paying the required fee and completing document verification. All deadlines and institute-specific instructions should be confirmed through the official JoSAA portal.
