JoSAA Counselling Date 2026 – Complete Schedule for Registration, Seat Allotment & Fee Payment

JoSAA Counselling Date is the first thing every JEE candidate should lock down after results are declared. Miss a single deadline whether it is choice locking, fee payment, or a query response and your seat is gone with no possibility of appeal. The process is entirely online and exceptions simply do not exist. JoSAA Registration & Choice Filling will start from 2^nd June 2026.

JoSAA 2026 is conducting five rounds of seat allocation for IITs, IISc, NITs, IIEST, IIITs (Triple-I-Ts), and other Government-Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs). This article consolidates every important date from the official JoSAA 2026 schedule from the day JEE results were declared right through to the NIT+ Partial Admission Fee payment window.

Here is the complete pre-registration and registration phase schedule:

Note: AAT-qualified candidates can fill AAT-specific choices from June 7, 2026 (after AAT result). Choice filling is free of cost for all candidates.

JoSAA Counselling 2026 Round-Wise Schedule

JoSAA 2026 has five rounds. Here is the complete round-wise allotment and reporting schedule:

JoSAA 2026 Final Round Schedule for IITs/IISc

Round 5 is the final round of JoSAA for IIT and IISc seat allocation. There are no further rounds or spot rounds for IITs/IISc after this.

NIT+ System Schedule (CSAB Related)

After JoSAA Round 5, candidates with allotted NIT+ System seats must complete the Partial Admission Fee (PAF) payment through the CSAB portal. This is mandatory — non-payment forfeits the seat.

What Happens After JoSAA Counselling Dates End?

For IITs and IISc, physical reporting at the admitting institute happens after the conclusion of the JoSAA process. Biometric verification is also done at the time of reporting for IIT/IISc candidates.

For NIT+ System candidates, physical reporting is scheduled after CSAB Special Rounds. Dates for physical reporting are published on the CSAB website (csab.nic.in). Vacant seats in NIT+ institutes (if any) are filled through CSAB Special Rounds, which run independently of JoSAA.
