JoSAA 2025 Counselling: Steps for Choice Filling Process
Here are the steps for JoSAA 2025 counselling registration and choice filling process:
Step 1: Go to josaa.nic.in, the official website.
Step 2: Click the link for "JoSAA 2025 counselling registration".

Step 5: Check the list of options and the total number of choices available. You can also use the search bar to narrow down the list of institutes and courses.
Step 6: Use the available commands (remove, up, and down) to add or delete options based on your preferences.
Step 7: Before the decision locking deadline, rearrange and change your selections as many times as necessary.
Step 8: Save and lock your selections after they are complete.
Step 9: For future use, print the completed list of your locked choices.
After the announcement of round 1 JoSAA seat allotment, the candidates who are allotted seats can report online for admission. The applicants will have to do the counselling fee payment and upload the required documents.
A candidate must select one of the following choices when accepting a seat online: freeze, float, or slide for the academic program for any further rounds of joint seat allocation. The candidate will not be provided any of the previously mentioned options besides freezing if their seat was assigned based on their first preference. The applicant has two options in such a scenario: either accept and freeze the offered seat, or decline the offer. In this situation, failing to select the freeze option will be interpreted as a rejection of the offered seat, and the applicant will not be given consideration for seat assignment in any subsequent rounds.
