JoSAA Round 3 Seat Allotment Result 2025 Live Updates: The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) released the JoSAA Round 3 Seat Allotment Result 2025 on July 2 at 10:00 AM. Aspirants waiting for the Round 3 allotment can check their allotment status by logging into the official website - josaa.nic.in. Candidates can check their allotment status using their login credentials, such as application number and password. The seat allotment result will be published based on the candidate’s rank, preferences, category, and seat availability.

Candidates allotted a seat in Round 3 must choose between Freeze, Float, or Slide options before July 4 (5 PM). The last date for fee payment and uploading of documents is July 4 (by 5 PM).

JoSAA Round 3 Seat Allotment 2025: Accept or Wait for Round 4?

For top branches like CSE in IITs or NITs, the drop in cutoff from Round 3 to Round 4 is usually minimal, particularly for the General categories. On the other hand, students from reserved categories can anticipate some flexible trends in newer IITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. As there will be no option to Float or Slide in Round 6, the candidates can use these earlier rounds to improve their allocation by keeping their higher preferences open by choosing Float or Slide. If your allotted seat is in a reputed institute, and the branch is decent, and you are completely satisfied with the seat, freezing now will confirm your admission. However, if you want to take chances for being allotted a higher option preference, then you may wait until the Final Round 6. Opting for Float or Slide will not make you lose your seat unless a higher preference is allotted to you. Once allotted a higher preference, you will have no claim to the current seat. If your rank is close to the previous round’s cutoff for a better branch, you may consider floating or sliding.
