Important instructions regarding Slide after JoSAA Seat Allotment 2025: The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) 2025 has commenced its JoSAA Counselling Process and announced the seat allotment on June 14, 2025. Candidates who have received offers from participating institutes now have the option to make decisions regarding their admissions from June 14 to June 18, 2025 (till 5 PM), and candidates who have been allotted a seat now have to make an important decision: whether to Freeze, Float, or Slide.

To avail of the Slide option, candidates must first accept the allotted seat by paying the seat acceptance fee through the official portal – josaa.nic.in.
