🎯 What It Means for Aspirants

• With closing ranks for top branches dipping below AIR 600 in elite IITs, Round 3 reflects rising competition and increasing demand for computer-related programs.

• Students with ranks between 600–1000 still stand strong chances in branches like Electrical, Mechanical, and Data Science at second-tier IITs.

• Core branches in older IITs continue to draw strong interest, although newer IITs are becoming preferred for niche programs like AI, Data Science, and Interdisciplinary Studies.

🧭 What’s Next in JoSAA 2025?

• Round 4 seat allotment is scheduled for July 6, 2025.

• Candidates allotted seats in Round 3 must complete online reporting by July 4, including fee payment and document submission.
