Hello Aspirant,

JoSSA only takes the scores of JEE Mains and Advance for counseling.

The counseling and seat allotment procedure for JEE Main 2019 will be conducted by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA). All the qualified candidates will have to register themselves for JoSAA counseling in online mode. The counseling will be based on candidate’s merit, availability of seats and preference of choices. Before commencement of actual JoSAA round, two mock seat allotment rounds will be conducted by the authorities so that candidates can know about their chances in their desired institute. After the mock rounds, seven main rounds of seat allotment will be held.

The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) 2019 has been set up by the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) to manage and regulate the joint seat allocation for admissions to 100 institutes for the academic year 2019-20. This includes 23 IITs,  31 NITs, 23 IIITs and 23 Other-Government Funded Technical Institutes (Other-GFTIs). Admission to all the academic programs offered by these Institutes will be made through a single platform.

All the candidates who appeared for JEE (Main) 2019 / JEE (Advanced) 2019 should take note of the following important points:

Registration:

All candidates who have appeared in JEE (Main) 2019 are eligible to register for seat allocation in NIT+ system (except IITs).

All candidates who have declared qualified in JEE (Adv) 2019 are eligible to register for seat allocation in all participating Institutes.

Filling-in of choices: Candidates may fill-in their choices of Institutes and branches in decreasing order of their preference. Candidates are strongly urged to fill-in as many choices of their interest as possible.

Locking of choices: Candidates MUST “lock” their choices. For candidates who do NOT lock their choices, their last saved choices will be locked automatically when the time-window for filling-in of choices closes.

The number of rounds of seat allocation: JoSAA will conduct seven rounds that are 1st through 7th rounds of seat allocation for academic programs offered by Institutes under JoSAA 2019.

Seat acceptance: Candidates allotted a seat must pay the seat acceptance fee (through SBI e-Challan/SBI NetBanking/SBI debit cards) and get the documents verified at any reporting center (josaa.nic.in) for provisional seat acceptance.

Participation in subsequent rounds: A candidate is required to fill option for ‘freeze’, ‘slide’ or ‘float’ the choice of the academic program.

Dual Reporting: If in a subsequent round, a candidate’s allotment from NIT+ system changes to an IIT, the candidate MUST report ONCE AGAIN at an IIT reporting center, similarly if a candidate’s allotment from IIT changes to a NIT+ system, the candidate MUST report ONCE AGAIN at any NIT+ reporting center, failure to do so will result in forfeiture of seats allocated in both NIT+ system and IIT.

Withdraw option: A candidate, who has already accepted a seat, can withdraw the seat by reporting at a reporting center up to the sixth round of seat allocation.

Important:

Registration – Candidates who do NOT register within the specified time window WILL NOT be able to seek admission for this academic year.

Filling-in of choices – Candidates who do NOT fill-in choices within the specified time window WILL NOT be able to seek admission for this academic year

Dual Reporting: Two times reporting required in case of seat allotment changes from NIT+s system to IITs and vice versa.

No modification of locked choices – once locked, choices CANNOT be modified.

All the best.
