For candidates who have received the JEE Main 2025 AIR via their JEE Main 2025 scorecards, the road ahead involves two crucial stages: JEE Advanced 2025 and the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) Counselling 2025. JEE Advanced is a pathway to get admission to IITs. Registrations for JEE Advanced will start from April 23. 

NITs admit students purely based on their JEE Main All India Rank (AIR), not on the percentile. The seat allocation is done via JoSAA counselling, which considers your rank, category, preferred course, and NIT choices. There are two types of quotas: Home State and Other State, each having separate cutoffs. Depending on the rank and reservation candidates can secure top branches like CSE, ECE, Mechanical, etc.. High scorers (above 98–99 percentile) stand a good chance for top NITS like NIT Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal, etc.

JEE Main 2025 Session 2 saw an impressive average attendance of 93.5%, with certain shifts crossing 94%. This strong turnout showcases students' dedication and the critical role JEE Main plays in shaping engineering careers. The high participation also reflects trust in NTA’s smooth exam conduct.

The step by step process to download the JEE Mains 2025 scorecard after the results are as follows-

• Visit the offciial website- jeemain.nta.nic.in
• Click on the result link and enter the details - application number, pdate of birth and captcha code
• The JEE Main result scorecard will be displayed on the screen
• Check and download. Save it for purposes. 

The counselling for vacant seats after JoSAA counselling will be organised by Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB).

Your eligibility for the Home State Quota is determined by your state of eligibility, which is usually the state where you passed your Class 12 (or equivalent) board exam. It has nothing to do with your place of birth or permanent residence. So, if you were born in Delhi but completed your Class 12 from Maharashtra, you’ll be considered under Maharashtra’s home state quota.

Yes, definitely. Many students have reported getting better branches or NITs during CSAB rounds. Some students withdraw or upgrade their seats, leaving good options open. If you're flexible with your choices, CSAB can be a golden opportunity, especially for students with ranks in the 30,000–1,00,000 range.

In a recent poll conducted by Shiksha, students were asked to vote for their most preferred private engineering college apart from IITs, NITs, and IIITs. With over 6,700 votes cast, BITS Pilani led the chart with 46% of the votes, followed by VIT Vellore at 35%. MAHE Manipal, SRM Chennai, and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham each secured 6%, highlighting BITS Pilani and VIT as the dominant favourites among private engineering aspirants.

The poll clearly highlights BITS Pilani and VIT Vellore as the top choices among private engineering colleges, reflecting their strong academic reputation, placements, and student preference. The remaining institutes saw significantly lower traction, showcasing a distinct popularity gap. 

Huge demand in tech firms, research, finance, and analytics. It's a rapidly growing domain with lucrative salaries.

• Top recruiters: Google, Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, Infosys, ZS Associates, Deloitte, Accenture, and top startups.
• Industry demand is high across sectors like healthcare, fintech, retail, cybersecurity, and even climate tech. With the rise of GenAI tools and real-time analytics, the scope for growth and innovation in this field is only expanding.

The documents that are required for the counselling are as follows -

• Provisional JEE Main seat allotment result
• 3 passport-size photographs (the same as uploaded during registration)
• Photo identity card
• Proof of fee payment (seat acceptance)
• Proof of Date of Birth
• JEE Main Admit Card
• Marksheet of class 12 examination
• JEE Main scorecard
• Caste Certificate (if applicable)

If your JEE Mains 2025 rank doesn’t meet the cutoff for your dream college and course, prioritise the branch if you’re passionate, or the college. Look for the disciplines they are offering, their placement records, etc.

Home State Quota is a reservation policy used in admissions through JoSAA counselling for NITs and some other institutes, where a certain percentage of seats (usually 50%) are reserved for candidates who belong to the same state as the institute.

• If you're a resident of the state where the NIT is located (based on your state of eligibility from Class 12 board), you're eligible for the home state quota in that NIT.

• The remaining 50% seats are reserved for students from other states (Other State Quota).

For example - Suppose you're from Bihar and you want to apply to NIT Patna. You’ll be considered under the Home State Quota, increasing your chances of admission compared to someone from, say, Maharashtra. Cutoffs under home state quota are often lower than the other state quota. It can significantly improve your chances, especially for mid- to lower-ranked NITs.

Yes, but likely in newer NITs or for non-core branches like Civil, Chemical, or Biotechnology under Home State Quota.

A rank under 20,000 (98–99 percentile) in JEE Main is considered good for top NITs and popular branches like CSE or ECE. However, branch and category play a big role. Candidates can check out 98 percentile colleges through JEE Main to smoothen their options for JEE Mains counselling. 

Top branches include Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical Engineering, Mechanical, and Data Science/AI (in some IIITs).

Top options include NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal, IIIT Hyderabad (via SPEC/UGEE), IIIT Delhi (via JAC), and NSUT/DTU (via JAC Delhi).

Here are some top specialisations that are trending in BTech right now -

• CSE (Computer Science Engineering)

• AI & ML (Artificial Intelligence)

• Data Science

• ECE (Electronics & Comm.)

• Cybersecurity

• Robotics

• NIT Trichy (Mechanical, Civil)

• NIT Surathkal (EEE, ECE)

• NIT Warangal (Chemical, EEE)

• NIT Rourkela (Metallurgy, Civil)

It depends on your career goal. A good branch in a lower NIT is usually better for placements and interest.

JoSAA is the primary counselling conducted in 6 rounds for admissions to IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. CSAB Special Round comes afterward and only focuses on NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. While JoSAA has stricter cutoffs and competition, CSAB rounds usually offer more flexibility and are aimed at filling vacant seats. Students must register separately for CSAB even if they participated in JoSAA.

The CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) Special Round is conducted after JoSAA counselling ends, to fill vacant seats in NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. Sometimes, students don’t accept their allotted seats or withdraw, which leaves many seats unfilled. CSAB offers these leftover seats to eligible JEE Main candidates through two additional rounds. It’s a second chance for those who didn’t get a seat earlier or missed JoSAA registration.

Yes, you might. Since the competition is limited to students from the same state, cutoff ranks for branches like Mechanical, ECE, or Civil are often lower under the Home State Quota. So, even if your percentile isn't very high, you might still bag a decent branch in your state’s NIT compared to applying under the Other State Quota in another NIT.

These universities conduct their own entrance exams, but may also accept JEE scores for admisisons.

The Home State Quota refers to a reservation system where 50% of seats in every NIT are reserved for students who have completed their Class 12 from the same state where the NIT is located. For example, if you studied in Rajasthan, you'll be considered under the Home State Quota for NIT Jaipur. This quota increases your chances of getting admission, especially if your JEE Main rank isn’t very high.

The admission to IITs will be based on JEE Advanced 2025 ranks and for NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and other GFTIs allotments will be done based on JEE Main 2025 ranks. JoSAA 2025 registration is expected to start on June 3, a day after the JEE Advanced 2025 result is announced.

The percentile is relative to the score that other people made on the test, while the percentage is your individual score. Percentile is used when scoring standardized tests and is used in statistics.

Home State Quota is a reservation policy used in admissions through JoSAA counselling for NITs and some other institutes, where a certain percentage of seats (usually 50%) are reserved for candidates who belong to the same state as the institute.

• If you're a resident of the state where the NIT is located (based on your state of eligibility from Class 12 board), you're eligible for the home state quota in that NIT.

• The remaining 50% seats are reserved for students from other states (Other State Quota).

For example - Suppose you're from Bihar and you want to apply to NIT Patna. You’ll be considered under the Home State Quota, increasing your chances of admission compared to someone from, say, Maharashtra. Cutoffs under home state quota are often lower than the other state quota. It can significantly improve your chances, especially for mid- to lower-ranked NITs.

CSAB Special Round (Central Seat Allocation Board) is conducted after JoSAA counselling to fill vacant seats in NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs that remain unfilled after all JoSAA rounds are over. Candidates who appeared for JEE Main and have a valid rank (even if not participated in JoSAA) can register.

If you have a low JEE Main percentile but still want a seat in a good government college, CSAB is your second shot. Many students grab seats in decent NITS and IIITs here — sometimes in better branches!

• JEE Main Admit Card
• Marksheet of class 12 examination
• JEE Main scorecard
• Caste Certificate (if applicable) 

It is possible for you to secure a seat in an NIT (National Institute of Technology), although it may not guarantee your preferred branch or institute. If your percentile is above 96, your chances of getting into a respectable NIT increases, but you may need to compromise on your branch selection. However, if you aim for a decent NIT with a preferred branch in the core field, you would need to score above 97.5%. On the other hand, if your goal is to get admission to a top college with the CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) branch, your score would need to be higher than 99.4%.

To uphold exam integrity, NTA enforced strict security during JEE Main 2025, including live CCTV, AI surveillance, biometric checks, and 5G jammers. Over 1,100 trained staff, 858 observers, and 283 city coordinators were deployed to prevent malpractice.

There is no fees for JoSAA counselling registration. Candidates can register for the counselling and participate in the counselling without any fees. However, candidates need to pay the seat confirmation fees once the seat is allotted to them. The fees for seat confirmation would vary for various categories and has to be paid online.

The 2025 JEE Main Session 2 saw 24 students scoring a perfect 100 percentile which is an impressive feat in such a highly competitive exam. 14.75 lakh candidates qualify for JEE Advanced exam. 

The counselling for vacant seats after JoSAA counselling will be organised by Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB). 

Candidates can now download their official JEE Main 2025 Session 2 scorecards from jeemain.nta.nic.in. The document includes raw marks, percentiles, ranks, and eligibility status.

Yes. A student who is eligible for both JAC and JoSAA counselling can register for both and participate in counselling. 

JAC counselling facilitates admissions to five institutes in Delhi: DTU, IIITD, IGDTUW, DSEU, and NSUT, based on JEE Main Rank. In this process, 85% of seats are reserved for students from the Delhi region, while the remaining 15% are allocated for students from outside Delhi.

On the other hand, JoSAA counselling is designed for admissions to IITs, NITs, IIITs, and certain Government Funded Technical Institutes across the country, utilizing JEE Advanced Rank for IITs and JEE Main Rank for NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.

Since these counselling processes cater to different sets of institutes, students who meet the eligibility criteria for both can apply for each counselling simultaneously.

Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) is the organising body that conducts the JEE Mains counselling for admission to NITs, IIITs and other GFTIS, as well as some other participating colleges. The counselling process is done in several rounds. All candidates with a valid JEE Main 2025 score can participate in JoSAA for admission to BTech courses at NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.

To participate in the counselling, candidates must register online on the website and fill in choices of their preferred institutes and branches. Candidates with allotted seats through JoSAA counselling must confirm their admission online and deposit the fees as per the date mentioned in their provisional allotment letter.

The results of 23 candidates have been withheld due to discrepancies in their photographs, biometric details or other personal information for identity verification. These
Candidates have been asked to provide a valid proof of their photographs, duly attested by a Gazetted officer, to NTA within a specified date for their results to be declared.

For candidates who have received the JEE Main 2025 AIR via their JEE Main 2025 scorecards, the road ahead involves two crucial stages: JEE Advanced 2025 and the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) Counselling 2025. JEE Advanced is a pathway to get admission to IITs. Registrations for JEE Advanced will start from April 23.
