What is the key difference between WITHDRAW and EXIT in JoSAA 2025 counselling?

In JoSAA counselling, WITHDRAW and EXIT serve different purposes. The Withdraw option is for candidates who have been allotted a seat but wish to leave the counselling process entirely, forfeiting their seat. The Exit option, available from Round 2 to Round 5, is for candidates who have not received any seat allotment and want to formally opt out of further rounds. Withdrawing is irreversible, while exiting allows potential participation in later rounds if no seat was allotted. Both options have specific deadlines and implications for fee refunds.

When do I need to make payment of the SAF in JoSAA counselling 2025?

Candidates must make payment for SAF immediately after being assigned a seat in any round of JoSAA counselling 2025. Payment is mandatory to proceed with document verification.

What is the option called WITHDRAW in JoSAA 2025 counselling?

The Withdraw option allows candidates who have been allotted a seat in any JoSAA counselling 2025 round to formally exit the process. By choosing this option, they voluntarily give up their allocated seat and will no longer be considered for subsequent rounds of seat allocation. This decision is irreversible and results in permanent removal from the ongoing counselling process.
