What is JoSAA 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment Letter
The JoSAA Round 2 seat allotment letter is an official document issued to students who receive a seat in the second round of allotment. This letter serves as proof of seat allocation and includes all details about your assigned institute and programme.
If you did not receive a seat in Round 1, or if your seat was upgraded due to Float or Slide preference, Round 2 brings a fresh allotment. Students who receive an allotment in Round 2 must act within the reporting window — missing the deadline forfeits the seat without a refund of any fee paid.
