Here are some of the JoSAA business rules that are abided by while allocating seats:

The category from which the candidates belong.
The ranking of the candidate in JEE exam.
The preference and the order of selection of course and college.
The seats available in the respective college and course.

JoSAA Rank List 2025

Another crucial step that comes under the JoSAA brochure and business rules is the rank list. The JoSAA rank list is prepared for all the candidates who have completed the exam with qualifying marks. In addition, the JoSAA rank list is released according to the category. The process is similar for IITs and NIT+ systems.

JoSAA Freeze, Float, and Slide Options 2025

According to the JoSAA brochure and business rules, the option to "Freeze," "Float," or "Slide" is available for all the candidates who qualify for the counselling process. If the candidate's first preference for a seat has been granted, the remaining two options will not be a choice; the only choice will be to freeze. The candidate in this circumstance has two options: accept and freeze the offered seat, or reject it. The candidate will not be considered for seat allocation in the following rounds if they choose not to select the Freeze option in this situation (if any).

How to reporting to the JoSAA Alloted Institute?

Candidates must report to the admitting institute after the joint seat allocation as per the JoSAA brochure and business rules. The seat acceptance process is complete only after the Institute admission requirements are met, including paying Institute fees and verifying their documents. All certificates will be reviewed again by the accepting institute at the time of reporting, and the admission will be cancelled if the requirements are not met under the current regulations. Such a candidate would not be qualified to participate in JEE (Advanced) 2025 if they had already successfully accepted a seat in JoSAA 2025.

Additionally (for IITs), biometric verification against the biometric data collected during the exam should be done when reporting at the admitting institute. If any candidate fails the biometric verification, admission will be revoked. The website will properly advertise reporting times and how to report at the admitting Institute.
