Actions Required After Round 5 Allotment:

Upon the declaration of the Round 5 seat allotment result tomorrow, engineering aspirants must take immediate and precise actions:

Check Allotment Status: Candidates must log in to the official JoSAA website (josaa.nic.in) using their JEE Main or JEE Advanced application number and password to check their allotment status.

Download Provisional Allotment Letter: If a seat is allotted, download and print the provisional allotment letter. This document is essential for all further admission formalities.

Pay Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF): This is a mandatory step. The Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF) is ₹30,000 for General category candidates and ₹15,000 for SC, ST, and PwD candidates. The fee must be paid online within the specified window (July 11 to July 14, 2025). Failure to pay the SAF by the deadline will result in the forfeiture of the provisionally allotted seat and exclusion from all subsequent JoSAA rounds.

Upload Required Documents: Candidates must upload scanned copies of all necessary documents for online verification. This typically includes academic certificates (Class 10th and 12th mark sheets), proof of identity, category certificates (if applicable), medical certificate, and passport-sized photographs. Ensure documents meet the specified format and size.

Exercise Willingness (Freeze/Float/Slide): After paying the SAF and uploading documents, candidates must choose their 'willingness':

• Freeze: If completely satisfied with the allotted seat and not wishing for further upgrades.
• Float: If accepting the current seat but also wishing to be considered for a higher preference in any institute in subsequent rounds.
• Slide: If accepting the current institute but wishing to be considered for a higher preferred branch within the same allotted institute in subsequent rounds.

Respond to Queries (if any): The verifying authorities may raise queries regarding uploaded documents. Candidates must regularly check their portal and respond to any queries within the deadline (July 14, 2025) to prevent seat cancellation.

Withdrawal Option: For candidates who no longer wish to participate in the counselling process, the option to withdraw their seat will be available from July 12 to July 14, 2025. This step also requires adherence to specific procedures and deadlines for query resolution related to withdrawal.

The Road Ahead: Round 6 and CSAB Special Rounds:

Round 5 is particularly crucial as it is one of the final opportunities for seat allotment through JoSAA before the process culminates.

Round 6 (Final Round for IITs): For IITs, a Final Seat Allocation (Round 6) will be declared on July 16, 2025. Candidates allotted seats in this round will undergo online reporting from July 16 to July 20, 2025.

CSAB Special Rounds (for NIT+ System): After JoSAA Round 6, any remaining vacant seats in the NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs (NIT+ System) will be filled through CSAB Special Rounds. Details for these rounds are typically released after the completion of JoSAA.

Engineering aspirants are strongly urged to stay highly vigilant and regularly check the official JoSAA website (josaa.nic.in) for all announcements, updates, and specific instructions. Missing any deadline or failing to comply with the stipulated procedures can lead to the forfeiture of their provisional seat and impact their chances for Higher Education in India's top engineering institutions.
