Can anyone pls explain how josaa counseling done? When is it starting? Will I get admission with a rank of 72000?

Hi,

This is how the JoSAA counselling takes place -

• Registration for the JoSAA counselling: Students have to register in online mode for participating in the JoSAA 2022 counselling. Registration process includes filling the online registration form by providing the JEE Main 2022 registration number and password. Students can also modify their password and contact details at this stage.

• Choice Filling and Locking of Choices: After completing the registration, students have to login and fill their choice of colleges in order of their preference. Filling of choices have to be done within the stipulated time interval in order to be considered for counselling. Students are provided a time interval of ten days to fill and lock their choices.

• Mock Seat Allotment: Mock seat allotment has been conducted to help students understand what colleges they might be getting based on the choices filled by them. Students can also modify their filled choices based on mock seat allotment.

Students won't be able to modifying their choices after locking them once.

• Seat Allotment Result: The authority of JoSAA counselling 2022 will announce the seat allotment result of JoSAA 2022 at the official website. Students have to check the seat allotment status.

Students have the option of either accepting the allotted seats with not willing to participate in the next round or accept with willing to participate in the next round or reject the allotted seat with not willing to participate in the next round counselling.

• Payment of Seat Acceptance Fees and Download of Provisional Seat Allotment Letter: Students who will be allotted a seat have to download their seat allotment letter. Students have to log in using their application number and password for downloading their seat allotment letter. After downloading the allotment letter of JoSAA 2022 counselling, students have to pay Rs.35,000 as seat acceptance fees ( Rs15,000 for reserved category). JoSAA counselling Fee can be paid in online mode or through e-challan.

• Reporting to the Reporting Centres: Candidates have to visit the reporting centres for document verification. Candidates have to carry all their original documents along with two sets of xerox copies. The officials in reporting centres will verify the original documents and will submit the xerox copies. Students will be issued the acknowledgement letter post document verification.

It is compulsory to report at the reporting centres for documents verification within dates specified in the allotment letter failing which the admission will get cancelled.

Now, regarding your other query, yes, if you are a general candidate then you have a decent chance of getting a good college through the JoSAA counselling. Might I add, you can even get a good branch in NITs and IIITs.

You can predict your college based on your JEE Main rank by using the JEE Main college predictor - https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor?utm_source=qna&utm_medium=jee_cp

I hope that was helpful.
