Hello aspirant!! In josaa the results of the seat allotment is declared through rounds. This is done to ensure that students are given sufficient opportunity to grab a seat in a government college. Now suppose there  is a student who filled the choices and when results are declared he doesn't get a seat. Now this giy can get a seat maybe in the next round of counselling where those seats will be considered which were left vacant in the previous rounds. So in this way the successive rounds of counselling ensures everyone a fair chance at seats. For more info refer the following link: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/josaa/amp
Hope this helps.

First round is the main round of counseling where most of the seats in the college are filled, then some seats in the college are left vacant so, a second round of counseling is done with a bit of lower cutoff, such that remaining seats are filled. If more seats are left then more rounds are conducted.

Good luck
