Is it compulsory to lock the preferences in jossa counselling after 2nd mock allotment? I have saved a total number of 173 choices. So can't all of them be automatically locked?
After the mock seat allotment results the candidates can reorder their choices of colleges as per their convenience.
And it is advisable for candidates to fill more and more choices as per their convenience, so that the chances of getting seats are increased.
Now after mock allotment if you do not lock your choices before the deadline then, no problem, your choices will be automatically locked after the deadline is over, and according to that you will be provided the colleges ( or not ) in josaa main round counselling.
So even if you have just saved and not locked your 173 choices then automatically your choices are locked and you can relax and wait for josaa main round counseling.
