JoSAA Rank List 2026
JoSAA 2026 Rank List: JoSAA seat allocation is based on the ranks of the candidates in JEE Advanced and JEE Main. The JEE Main 2026 ranks are used for seat allocation in NITs, IIITs and CFTIs, whereas the JEE Advanced ranks are used for the allocation of seats offered by the IITs.

However, the ranks are allotted to the candidates individually through their JEE Main and JEE Advanced results.
The JEE Main and JEE Advanced ranks are given to the candidates for the open category and also for their respective categories. During the JoSAA counselling, ranks will form the basis of seat allotment. Read more below.
