JoSAA 2026 Complete Schedule — All 5 Rounds
7 Common Mistakes — Avoid Karein!
-
Deadline miss karna: Sabse bada mistake — 5 PM ke baad portal BAND. Even 5:01 PM par bhi accept nahi hoga. Rush se bachne ke liye abhi complete karein!
-
Round 1 mein Freeze select karna (jaldi mein): Agar dream seat nahi mili toh Freeze mat karo — Float/Slide select karo. 4 rounds aur hain upgrades ke liye!
-
Blurry/incomplete documents upload: Agar documents clearly readable nahi hain toh query raise hogi — aur query resolve karne ka time limited hai. Clean scans upload karein!
-
Wrong category certificate: OBC-NCL certificate current year ka hona chahiye. Purana certificate reject ho sakta hai. EWS certificate bhi latest financial year ka chahiye.
-
Payment confirmation verify na karna: Payment karne ke baad portal par "Reported" status verify zarur karein. Sirf bank SMS se confirm mat karo — portal status hi FINAL hai.
-
Double payment attempt: Agar pehla payment pending hai toh 30 min wait karein. Turant doosri payment karne se double deduction ho sakta hai — refund mein weeks lag sakte hain.
-
Allotment letter download na karna: Payment receipt + allotment letter dono download karein — physical reporting ke waqt zaruri honge final round ke baad.
