Q:   Where can I check previous year JoSAA cutoff?
A: 

One can easily find the JoSAA cutoff for previous years on the official website - josaa.nic.in.

Q:   I failed to apply for JOSAA 1st round counselling. What should I do now?
A: 

Candidates do not need to apply for each round of JoSAA counselling. The JoSAA counselling registration and choice filling window opens only once before the seat allotments starts. Candidates have to register for JoSAA counselling during the registration window and not before every JoSAA round.

Q:   How is CSAB different from JoSAA?
A: 

CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) and JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) are both involved in the seat allocation process for engineering admissions in IITs, NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and other GFTIs. However, via JoSAA seat are allotted to all available seats in IITs, NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and other GFTIs. But via CSAB seat is allotted only at NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and other GFTIs against the vacant seats left after JoSAA counselling last round based on JEE Main scores.

JoSAA 2026 Seat Allotment

JoSAA seat allotment 2026 is announced online at josaa.nic.in. Candidates will have to log in with required credentials to check allotment. Selection for admission will be done based on merit, eligibility, preferences and seat availability. Once allotted, candidates will have to freeze their seat, which will mean that they will not be participating in further rounds. 

If they wish to try in the next round for better allotment, they can choose the ‘float’ option. This will confirm their allotment but will give them the opportunity to upgrade if better seats are available in next round. For better allotment in the same institute, sliding option will be available.

Commonly asked questions
Q:   How to check JoSAA opening and closing rank?
A: 

Candidates can check JoSAA opening and closing ranks on the official website. They have to enter the details asked to check the list of courses and colleges based on the OR and CR of each counselling round.

Q:   If I got a rank above 9 lakhs in JEE Mains, can I still apply for JoSAA counselling to get the best colleges under this rank?
A: 

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, 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.
