No, JoSAA counselling is not required for the students who want to take admission on the basis of entrance in BTech at Army Institute of Technology, Pune. Only entrance scores are considered at the time of admission. Students need to submit JEE Mains scorecard at the time of admission.

With NITPY being one of the top institutes and part of the NIT Tag, the cutoff is always high. But 92 percentile can be enough for later

After logging into JoSAA with your JEE credentials, you must list your preferred institutes and branches in order of priority. Please ensure that you are listing IIIT Pune and your desired branch (e.g., CSE or IT) higher in your list to increase allotment chances based on your rank.

Log in to JoSAA with your JEE credentials. Then you would need to list your preferred institutes and branches in order of priority. Mention IIIT Vadodara (Institute Code 308) and your desired branch (CSE or IT) higher in your list to increase allotment chances based on your rank.

The NIT Srinagar BTech seat allotment is first done through the JoSAA counseling. The allotment of seats is based on a candidate's JEE Mains score. However, if after the seat allotment, there are still some vacant seats for the BTech course, they are filled through the CSAB counseling.
