  2. Click on "View Seat Allotment Result" on the homepage.
  3. Enter your JEE Advanced 2026 registration number and date of birth.
  4. Click "Submit" to view your allotment details.
  5. Your allotment letter will show the IIT name, programme, category seat type, and fee payment deadline.

How to Accept IIT Seat After JoSAA Round 6 Allotment

After viewing your allotment, log in and complete acceptance through these steps:

  1. Log in to josaa.nic.in using your JEE Advanced 2026 registration number and password.
  2. Go to the "Respond to Seat Allotment" section.
  3. Select your response — only two options are available in Round 6:
    • Freeze — Accept the seat as final. Pay the seat acceptance fee to confirm. This is the option to choose if you want to join the allotted IIT programme.
    • Withdraw — Surrender your seat permanently. Any fee paid in earlier rounds is forfeited.
  4. Select Freeze to proceed with acceptance.
  5. Pay the seat acceptance fee using Net Banking, UPI, or Debit Card through the JoSAA payment gateway.
  6. Upload all required documents for online verification (see list below).
  7. Download your provisional seat allotment letter after successful fee payment and document submission.

Since Round 6 is the final IIT allotment round, the Float and Slide options are not available. Students who previously floated or slid their seat in Rounds 1 to 5 must now freeze or withdraw.

JoSAA 2026 Seat Acceptance Fee — Category-wise Breakdown

The seat acceptance fee is mandatory to confirm your IIT seat. It is adjusted against the first-semester tuition fee at your allotted institute.

Category Seat Acceptance Fee Remarks
General / OBC-NCL / EWS Rs. 35,000 Non-refundable on withdrawal after freeze
SC / ST / PwD Rs. 15,000 Non-refundable on withdrawal after freeze

Students who paid the seat acceptance fee in a previous JoSAA round and whose seat was upgraded in Round 6 need not pay the full fee again — only the difference (if any) applies. Students moving from a non-IIT allotment to an IIT allotment in Round 6 will pay the IIT fee amount.

Documents Required for JoSAA 2026 Online Reporting

After accepting the seat and paying the fee, upload these documents on the JoSAA portal for online verification by the allotted IIT:

Document Purpose
Class 10 Marksheet / Certificate Date of birth verification
Class 12 Marksheet Verify 75% aggregate eligibility (65% for SC/ST/PwD)
JEE Advanced 2026 Rank Card Confirm AIR and score
Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS) Issued by competent authority; required for reserved category seats
PwD Certificate (if applicable) Issued by a government medical board
DS Certificate (if applicable) For Defence Service category seats
Passport-size Photograph Same as used in JEE Advanced 2026 registration

Ensure all scanned documents meet the file size and format requirements specified on the JoSAA portal at the time of upload. Blurred or incorrectly uploaded documents may be rejected during verification, putting your seat at risk.

What Happens After JoSAA Round 6 Seat Acceptance

Once you freeze your seat and complete the online reporting steps, here is what follows:

  • The allotted IIT will conduct online document verification through the JoSAA portal — no visit to the institute is required immediately after Round 6.
  • After successful verification, you will receive a provisional admission letter from your allotted IIT.
  • Your IIT will separately notify you of the physical reporting date, remaining fee payment, and hostel registration details before the academic session begins.
  • Students who do not freeze or pay the fee within the deadline will lose their IIT seat permanently — no further IIT allotment is possible through JoSAA 2026.
  • After Round 6, IITs may release a CSAB Special Round to fill remaining vacant IIT seats — only specific categories of students who participated in JoSAA are eligible; this is not a guaranteed pathway.

JoSAA Round 6 Seat Allotment 2026 FAQs

Ques. When will JoSAA 2026 Round 6 seat allotment result be out?

Ans. JoSAA 2026 Round 6 seat allotment result is expected to be declared on July 20, 2026 at josaa.nic.in. Students can check their result by logging in with their JEE Advanced 2026 registration number and date of birth.

Ques. Why is Float or Slide not available in Round 6?

Ans. Round 6 is the final round of JoSAA counselling for IIT seats. Float and Slide options allow students to seek upgrades in subsequent rounds — since no further rounds exist after Round 6, these options are not available. Students can only Freeze or Withdraw.

Ques. Is the seat acceptance fee refundable if I withdraw after Round 6?

Ans. No. If you freeze an IIT seat in Round 6 and then withdraw, the seat acceptance fee is non-refundable. Withdrawal also means permanent loss of the allotted IIT seat — you cannot re-enter JoSAA 2026 counselling for IIT seats after this point.

Ques. Do I need to physically visit the IIT right after Round 6 acceptance?

Ans. No. After Round 6, the process is entirely online — you pay the fee and upload documents on the JoSAA portal. The allotted IIT verifies documents online and will separately communicate the physical reporting date and session commencement schedule.

Ques. What if I already paid the seat acceptance fee in an earlier JoSAA round?

Ans. If you paid the fee in Round 1 through 5 and your seat allotment continued or upgraded in Round 6, you do not need to pay the full fee again. Any difference in fee (for example, if you moved from a non-IIT to an IIT seat) will be indicated on the JoSAA payment portal.

Ques. Can I get an IIT seat after JoSAA Round 6 if I was not allotted one?

Ans. Round 6 is the last JoSAA round for IIT allotments. Students not allotted an IIT seat by Round 6 cannot receive one through JoSAA 2026. However, IITs may conduct a CSAB Special Round for limited vacant seats — eligibility and participation rules for that round are announced separately by the conducting authorities.
