JoSAA 2026 Day 1 Registration Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Bhaiyon, JoSAA 2026 portal expected June 2, 2026 (5 PM) ko khulega. Server slow, OTP late, choice list confusing - Day 1 ka exact step-by-step yahan hai. (Final date josaa.nic.in pe confirm karein.)

JoSAA 2026 Day 1 Registration - Quick Info

JoSAA registration is FREE. SAF only after seat allotment hota hai. Koi agent fees mange to sidha bhag jao.

JoSAA Registration Pre-requisites (before opening window)

Before June 2, ye ready rakho:

• JEE Main 2026 application no + password
• JEE Advanced 2026 roll no (if qualified)
• Class 10 + 12 marksheet scan (PDF/JPG)
• Category certificate (OBC-NCL/EWS latest), PwD (if applicable)
• Aadhaar + active mobile + working email
• Net banking/UPI/debit card (for SAF later)
• Stable internet, mobile hotspot backup

Tip: Sab files ek folder me, 1 MB se kam, JPG/PDF.

JoSAA Day 1 Step 1 - Login with JEE Credentials

1. Type karo josaa.nic.in (Google ad pe click mat karna - fake sites chalti hain).
2. "Candidate Login" / "Registration/Choice Filling" link kholo.
3. JEE Main 2026 Application Number + Password daalo, captcha, Submit.
4. Pehli baar login pe JoSAA-specific new password set karo (kahin likh ke rakho).
5. Mobile + email OTP aayega - 5-10 min lag sakte hain Day 1 traffic me.

Password forgot - JEE Main portal pe reset karo, JoSAA pe nahi.

JoSAA Day 1 Step 2 - Personal Details Verification

System JEE Main + Advanced details auto-fetch karega:

• Name, DOB, Gender, Category (Gen/OBC-NCL/SC/ST/EWS), PwD status
• JEE Main CRL + Category rank, JEE Advanced rank (if eligible)
• Nationality, state of eligibility

Carefully verify karo. JoSAA pe edit option nahi hai - galti ho to grievance me complaint karni padegi (2-3 din lagte hain). Sab sahi to "Confirm" karo.

JoSAA Day 1 Step 3 - Document Upload (Spec + Format)

Day 1 pe direct upload usually nahi - reporting centre pe physical verification hoti hai. Scans ready rakho:

• Format: JPG/PDF, 50 KB - 1 MB
• Marksheets clear scan, photo color
• OBC-NCL/EWS certificate 1 April 2026 ke baad ka valid

Hard copies + originals reporting pe lagti hain - 2 photocopy set bana lo.

JoSAA Day 1 Step 4 - Choice Filling Begin

Verification confirm hote hi choice filling unlock ho jata hai. Day 1 pe:

• Institutes: IIT (23), NIT (31), IIIT (26), GFTI (40+)
• Preference order: pehla choice #1, baaki neeche
• 100-200 choices safe rank ke hisaab se
• Bihar wale IIT Patna, NIT Patna, IIIT Bhagalpur priority me
• Save karte raho, portal timeout ho sakta hai

Lock deadline alag hai (round 1 se 1-2 din pehle). Day 1 pe lock mat karo.

JoSAA Day 1 Common Errors + Fix (server slow, OTP not coming)

Day 1 me submit karne ki jaldi mat karo. Window 7-8 din open rehti hai.

JoSAA Registration vs Choice Filling vs Locking (sequence)

Confusion clear karte hain:

1. Registration - account create + details verify (Day 1, one time)
2. Choice Filling - colleges/branches preference me add (Day 1 se choice locking tak open)
3. Mock Allotment 1 - expected around June 15-18, ek trial run
4. Mock Allotment 2 - expected June 18-20, choice tweak karne ka mauka
5. Choice Locking - final list freeze (deadline miss = auto lock)
6. Round 1 Allotment - actual seat

Locking ke baad change nahi hota - sirf withdraw / freeze / float / slide options milte hain har round me.

JoSAA Day 1 Scam Warning

Bhaiyon, ye 5 cheezein DEKH ke alert ho jao:

• "Guaranteed IIT seat for Rs 50,000" - 100% fake, koi management quota nahi
• WhatsApp pe "JoSAA registration link" - sirf josaa.nic.in valid
• "Choice filling consultant" Rs 5K-25K fees - free guidance yahin milti hai
• Fake refund calls "SAF refund ke liye OTP do" - JoSAA OTP NEVER maangti
• Telegram "leaked allotment list" - algorithm based, leak possible nahi

JoSAA ka koi official agent/franchise nahi - sab self-service portal pe.
