A Student’s Perspective
For many students, JoSAA is more than just a procedure—it’s the bridge to a lifelong dream.
Tips to Make the Right Choices
-
Do your research: Don’t go by rankings alone. Read about course curriculum, campus life, and placement history.
-
Talk to mentors and alumni: First-hand experiences offer real insights.
-
Have a backup plan: Include safe options lower in your preference list.
-
Stay calm and informed: Avoid peer pressure or hasty decisions. It’s your future.
What Happens After Seat Allotment?
Once a seat is allotted, candidates must:
-
Pay the seat acceptance fee
-
Upload required documents
-
Choose whether to freeze (accept), float (wait for better option), or slide (same institute but better branch)
Failure to respond within deadlines will automatically cancel the allotment.
