Do I have to concern about my rank while filling choices in josaa or I should fill any choices I want and josaa will accordingly do it as

Hello,



Yes, be concerned about you rank and follow the tips given below to fill the options :



JOSAA can be very un-predictable: Do not go with the last years closing ranks blindly. They may surprise you.



Keep your choices realistic: There is no such rule. But still try to put in colleges that you may actually get. There is no point preparing a 2-page list. Say you have a rank 1000 in Advanced. Its totally absurd if you want CSE and you put IITB/IITD in as your preferences. No miracle can happen. But you should definitely put IIT Guwahati or BHU even if there last years closing is at roughly around 800.



Be careful while filling-in choices: Once your choices get locked, you can not alter with the colleges or even the sequence that you have entered. So please be very careful while locking up. Discuss before hand with your family, seniors or mentor for any possible amendments.



Never put a branch/college that you can get easily at the top: Always keep the better choice at the top even if the chances of getting it are very few or almost negligible. At such a case, you can always hope for up gradation till the last round. And who knows, You might actually end up getting it. As I said, JOSAA can be un predictable.



Internal Counselling: At times NIT have internal counselling after the admissions (I am not sure if this happens at every college). Seats that are left vacant in some major branches are filled with students of lower branches only if they have put that higher branch as a priority in their list. This is purely out of personal experience and I have seen people benefiting from it. So, make sure you fill your choices such that you may also benefit from such internal counselling at the end if by any chance it takes place.



Lock the choices before time: Do not wait till the last moment to lock your choices. Remember the delay caused in the JEE Advanced Results due to the heavy traffic over the site.



I hope this would help you. For further queries please feel free to write me down in the comment box.
