Eligibility and Process for JoSAA Counselling 2025

JoSAA 2025 is open to:

• JEE Advanced 2025 qualifiers for admission to IITs
• JEE Main 2025 rank holders for NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs

Steps involved in the counselling process:

Step 1: Registration on the official JoSAA portal

Step 2: Filling and prioritizing institute and course preferences

Step 3: Locking choices before the deadline

Step 4: Checking seat allotment results online

Step 5: Confirming the seat by uploading documents and paying fees

Important Guidelines and Mistakes to Avoid

• Ensure accuracy in choice filling: Double-check institute and branch codes before locking your preferences.
• Category verification: Ensure your category is correctly reflected in the portal. Wrong category input can lead to disqualification or loss of seat.
• Document readiness: Keep scanned copies of required documents like JEE scorecards, class 12 certificates, category certificates, and ID proofs.
• Avoid last-minute rush: Don’t wait until the final day to register or lock choices, as server issues may occur during peak hours.
• Seat acceptance fees: Once a seat is allotted, candidates must pay the seat acceptance fee online to confirm provisional admission.

Conclusion

The JoSAA 2025 counselling process is the gateway to securing a seat in India’s premier technical institutions, including IITs and NITs. With the 10-day registration and choice filling window now open, students must act swiftly and carefully to make well-informed choices that align with their career aspirations.
