IIT Electronics & Communication Engineering Cutoff 2025 (All Rounds): JoSAA Counselling Opening & Closing Ranks

No. You are only allowed to fill choices once before entering the first round of counselling and that choice list is final. Candidates are given only one chance to enter their choice, edit the choices, rearrange them before the choice filling deadline. All candidates have to save and lock their choices within the prescribed deadline. No more chances to fill.edit/rearrange the choices will be provided in the subsequent rounds of JoSAA counselling.

JoSAA counselling is usually held in 5 or 6 rounds. The admission process for admissions in 23 IITs, 31 NITs, IIEST Shibpur, 26 IIITs and 40 Other-Government Funded Technical Institutes (Other-GFTIs) will be done by JoSAA in various rounds deending on various factors. In these rounds, candidates are allotted seats based on their JEE Main or JEE Advanced rank and preferences filled by them during registration. Candidates who are allotted seats have to either accept or float the seat.

A JEE rank of more than 70,000 is typically regarded as low, and applicants frequently give up on getting into the NITs and B.Tech programmes of their choice. The good news is that a number of universities, such as NITs and IIITs, accept JEE Main low scores up to 2,000,000. Based on the data from the previous year, NIT Mizoram has the lowest cutoff with a closing rank of 678406 for B.Tech. Civil Engineering (Gender-Neutral). It is followed by NIT Sikkim, which has a JEE Main rank of 639272 for B.Tech. EEE, and NIT Agartala, which has a JEE Main rank of 287950 for B.Tech. Biotech & Bio Chem Engineering. Therefore a rank of 9 Lacs can also have a chance of getting into colleges.

No, choosing the option “Freeze” in JoSAA counselling means that the candidate accepts the offered seat and is satisfied with the allotted course and college.

No, you cannot appear for JoSAA counselling with 350 marks in Class 12 UP board. The minimum percentage required to appear for JoSAA Counseling is 75% in class 12 with Physics, chemistry and mathematics as compulsory subjects. The candidates must have completed their class 12 from a recognised board.  A total of 350 marks out of 500 constitutes 70% of marks, which does not meet the minimum percentage required to appear for JoSAA counselling.

Yes, there are chances. CFTIs admit JEE Main candidates with ranks up to round 10,50,000 in the open and gender-neutral categories. They offer courses like Food Technology and Management, Dairy Engineering, Handloom and Textile Technology, and others to candidates with ranks above 1 lakh.

During the process of document verification in JoSAA, if there is any mismatch between the document uploaded earlier by the candidate JEE Main registration site, JEE Advanced registration site and the document uploaded by the candidate on the JoSAA portal, the offer of admission will be withdrawn. The candidates shall be debarred from further rounds of seat allocation. Thus, the candidate will forfeit the eligibility for admissions to any of the institutes through JoSAA. The decision of JoSAA on this issue shall be final and binding.
