Motion Education’s<\/a> JoSAA counselling team is here through June and July 2026. Reach out before the rush starts.<\/p>\nFrequently Asked Questions – JoSAA Counselling 2026<\/h3>\nQ1. When does JoSAA counselling 2026 start?<\/h4>\n
Registration and choice filling both open on June 2, 2026, at 5:00 PM. Be ready on day one; do not wait.<\/p>\n
Q2. How many choices should I fill?<\/h4>\n
At least 50 as a minimum, ideally 80 or more. The system allows 25,000 combinations. More choices, more chances.<\/p>\n
Q3. What is the difference between Float and Slide?<\/h4>\n
Slide upgrades your branch within the same institute. Float looks for upgrades across all your choices, including other colleges. Use Slide when you like your institute but want a better branch. Use Float when you are open to moving colleges entirely.<\/p>\n
Q4. Can I undo a Freeze?<\/h4>\n
No. Once you freeze, you are out of all further rounds permanently. Only freeze when you are fully satisfied.<\/p>\n
Q5. What happens if I miss a round deadline?<\/h4>\n
Your allotted seat is cancelled automatically, and you are removed from all subsequent rounds. Set multiple alarms for every deadline.<\/p>\n
Q6. Should I prioritise the branch or the college?<\/h4>\n
Depends on your career goal. For software and tech roles, a strong CS branch at a top NIT often beats a mismatched branch at a newer IIT. Look at placement data by branch, not just college name.<\/p>\n
Q7. Is CSAB counselling 2026 free?<\/h5>\n
Yes. CSAB registration is free and separate from JoSAA. Register for it even while JoSAA rounds are running; it runs after Round 6 for the remaining NIT, IIIT, and GFTI seats.<\/p>\n
