The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) will soon release the full schedule for JoSAA Counselling 2025 on josaa.nic.in. You can expect the JoSAA application form to come out around June 3, just a day after the JEE Advanced 2025 results. Importantly, you’ll start filling out your college choices at the same time as registration. The JoSAA counselling will likely have five main rounds. Each round will involve seat announcement, your confirmation, online reporting, and fee payment. If any seats are left after these rounds, they will be filled through CSAB counselling 2025.
