Float after JoSAA Seat Allotment 2025 Instructions: After each round of JoSAA 2025 seat allotment, students must report online to confirm their seat acceptance. One option available is "Float," which allows candidates to temporarily accept their current seat while remaining open to higher allocations in future rounds. This option is for those who are not satisfied with their allotted seat and wish to aim for a better option in subsequent rounds. It's important to note that rejecting a seat outright will make a candidate ineligible for further rounds. Therefore, if a candidate wants to change their allocation, they should choose "Float." Online reporting is mandatory, and failure to do so will be considered a rejection of the seat.

In other words, if a higher preference seat is offered, the floated seat is automatically dropped. If not allotted, the candidate retains the current seat. If no better seat is offered, the candidate can freeze the floated seat for admission.
