The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) is currently managing undergraduate admissions for prestigious institutions like IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, following the declaration of JEE Advanced 2026 results. This process is vital for students aspiring to secure seats in these engineering colleges.
Candidates begin by registering on the official JoSAA portal using their JEE credentials. A critical step involves meticulously checking personal information and examination ranks. Following this, students must carefully select and order their preferred colleges and branches, as the seat allotment is contingent upon this preference list.
After finalising their choices, candidates must lock them before the stipulated deadline. JoSAA then releases seat allotment results through multiple rounds. Students who receive an offer must accept it, potentially paying a seat acceptance fee and uploading necessary documents within the specified timelines.
