The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA), responsible for admissions to IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, has set a critical deadline for Engineering Aspirants today, July 4, 2025. Candidates who were allotted a seat in JoSAA 2025 Round 3 must complete their seat acceptance formalities, including paying the seat acceptance fee, uploading necessary documents, and responding to any queries arising from document verification. Failure to complete these steps by the stipulated time will result in the forfeiture of the allotted seat.

This is a high-stakes moment for Engineering Aspirants as the JoSAA counselling process progresses rapidly towards subsequent rounds, with Round 4 seat allotment scheduled for July 6, 2025.

JoSAA 2025 Round 3 Deadline: Last Chance Today, July 4

The JoSAA 2025 Round 3 seat allotment results were released on July 2, 2025. Following this, the online reporting process for candidates allotted seats in this round commenced. Today, July 4, 2025, is the final day for candidates to complete all the mandatory steps:

Payment of Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF): This fee is crucial for confirming your provisional seat. For candidates belonging to SC, ST, GEN-PwD, GEN-EWS-PwD, OBC-NCL-PwD, SC-PwD, or ST-PwD categories, the fee is INR 15,000. For all other candidates, the fee is INR 30,000. This payment must be completed by 5 PM today.

Document Upload: All required academic and personal documents must be uploaded to the JoSAA portal for online verification.

Response to Queries: If any discrepancies were found in the uploaded documents during the verification process, candidates would have received a query. Responding to these queries with the necessary corrections or clarifications by the specified deadline (July 5, 2025, for query resolution) is essential. However, the last date to initiate the response is also today, July 4, 2025.

Initiation of Withdrawal: Candidates wishing to withdraw their seat from JoSAA 2025 in Round 3 also have until today, July 4, 2025, to initiate this process.

Engineering Aspirants are strongly advised to immediately visit the official JoSAA website, josaa.nic.in, and ensure all these formalities are completed. Missing any of these steps will lead to the cancellation of the allotted seat and exclusion from further counselling rounds.

Understanding the JoSAA Seat Acceptance Process and its Importance

The JoSAA seat acceptance process is meticulously designed to manage the high volume of admissions to the nation's top engineering colleges. Each step, from fee payment to document verification and query response, plays a vital role in validating a candidate's claim to a seat for Higher Education.

Confirmation of Intent: Paying the seat acceptance fee signifies a candidate's genuine interest in the allotted seat and allows them to participate in subsequent rounds (if they choose 'Float' or 'Slide'). Without this payment, the seat is automatically deemed rejected.

Document Verification: The online document verification ensures that candidates meet all eligibility criteria for their respective categories and courses. Any mismatch or missing documents can lead to queries that must be resolved promptly. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of the provisional allotment.

Options for Candidates: After seat allotment, Engineering Aspirants typically have three options:

• Freeze: Accept the allotted seat and confirm admission without wishing to participate in further rounds.
• Float: Accept the current seat but wish to be considered for an upgrade to a higher preferred choice (college or branch) in subsequent rounds.
• Slide: Accept the current seat but wish to be considered for an upgrade to a higher preferred course within the same allotted engineering college in subsequent rounds.

If the allotted seat is your first preference, only the 'Freeze' option is available.

The stringent deadlines emphasize the competitive nature of JoSAA counselling, where timely action is as crucial as academic performance for securing a seat in a preferred IIT, NIT, IIIT, or GFTI.
