Frequently Asked Questions

Ans: Yes. Candidates who qualify for JEE Main are eligible to participate in JoSAA counselling for NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. However, to be eligible for IIT admissions, candidates must clear JEE Advanced as well. The JoSAA portal accepts both sets of candidates and provides a centralized platform for seat allocation across all participating institutes.

Ans: Common mistakes include not listing enough choices, placing overly ambitious options at the top, not considering closing rank trends, and ignoring GFTIs and newer IIITs. Some students also forget to check the Home State vs. Other State quota impact. Not locking choices before the deadline or entering wrong category details are other errors that can negatively affect the outcome.

Ans: Students can visit the official JoSAA website (josaa.nic.in) to access the latest seat matrix, opening and closing ranks for each round, institute-wise details, and counselling schedule. The site provides PDFs and searchable formats for all data, helping candidates track cutoff trends, understand seat availability, and plan their choices effectively.

Ans: Seats in JoSAA are distributed according to the Government of India’s reservation policy. Categories include General, OBC-NCL (27%), EWS (10%), SC (15%), ST (7.5%), and PwD (5% horizontal reservation within each category). Additionally, there are quotas based on domicile — Home State (HS) and Other State (OS) — especially applicable to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. IITs follow All India quotas only.
