JoSAA Choice Filling 2025: Date, Link, Step by Step Guide to Fill JoSAA Counselling Choices

The process of JoSAA choice filling involves the selection of institutes and programs for admission through the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA). Registered candidates are required to provide their preferences for IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, as well as the courses they wish to pursue. These choices must be arranged in order of the candidates' preferences. Seats are allocated to the candidates based on the choices they have locked and their order of preference, taking into account factors such as the candidate's rank, category, quota, and gender.

Candidates are advised to only fill in the choices they genuinely want to consider for admission. However, there is no restriction on the number of choices that candidates can fill from the available list.

The link to fill choices in JoSAA counselling 2025 will be available below:

Candidates can check the steps below for the JoSAA choice filling process:

Step 1: Login to JoSAA Portal - Using JEE Main 2025 application number and password, candidates have to login to the JoSAA 2025 portal.

Step 2: Access JoSAA Choice Filling Link: Once logged in, candidates can check the link for choice filling. Click the link and verify using the OTP sent to the registered mobile number.

Step 3: Adding and Arranging the Choices - Once the OTP is verified candidates can check the following details on their screen:

1. Total number of choices available for the candidate
2. List of choices available
3. Search bar to search and filter the institutes and courses

From the available list of choices, candidates can use the “add” button to add the choices to their choice list. When the candidate clicks on the “add” button against the choice, it gets added to the list of choices candidates have to submit and can be checked on the right-hand side of the screen.

Candidates can add the choices in order of their preference or they can add the choices in random order and arrange the choices after adding them to their list. The candidates can check the Institute name, course name and the choice number (order number of the choice) in the list. Other than that, against each choice, candidates can check the option for “remove”, “up” and “down”.

• Remove: This command will remove a choice from the list.
• Up: This command will move a choice one step above.
• Down: This command will move a choice one step down.

Using the above commands candidates can rearrange their choices as many times as they want before the JoSAA choice locking deadline.

Step 4: Saving the Choices - Candidates must keep saving the choices. If they don't have the choice any changes made to the list of choices will disappear.

Step 5: Locking the Choice - Once the candidates are one hundred per cent sure of the choices they have filled and their order, they can proceed to lock their choices as per the JoSAA schedule.

Step 6: Printing the Choice List - Candidates can print the list of their JoSAA choice filling list for future reference.

Once the candidates have filled the choices, they are allowed to manage them. This means candidates will be allowed to remove and rearrange their choices as many times as they want before the JoSAA choice locking date.

Candidates can rearrange their choices by changing the choice number against the choices. The choices can be also interchanged from one option to the other easily or candidates can select multiple choices at once for bulk deletion.

The choices can be managed until the last date as per the JoSAA schedule. Once the choices are locked and submitted as per the schedule, the choices cannot be changed throughout the counselling process. Seat allotment in each JoSAA counselling round will be based on the choices filled by the candidates.

Once the candidates have made their selections and finalized them, the next step is seat allotment. JoSAA will release the seat allotment results on the candidates' respective JoSAA login portals. Candidates can access their allotment results by logging in with their JEE Main 2025 application number and JoSAA 2025 password. Seat allotment is based on the candidates' JEE Main/Advanced ranks, category, and filled choices. Upon receiving a seat allocation, the candidate must accept the allocated seat and choose one of the options – 'Freeze', 'Slide', or 'Float' – for the academic program choice for any subsequent round(s), if applicable, of joint seat allocation.
