Engineering Entrance Exam

If you have already acceptd seat via the JoSAA counselling but want to withdraw the admission then you can do so. The withdraw option is made available starting from the 2nd round and up to the second last round of seat allocation.

If a candidate withdraws a seat, the candidate’s allotted seat will be cancelled and offered to another candidate in a subsequent round of counselling. The candidate withdrawing shall be excluded from the JoSAA process, which means the candidate shall not be considered for subsequent rounds of seat allocation (if any). 

Seat acceptance fee will be refunded to these candidates after deducting the withdrawal processing charges of INR 7000. Thus the candidate will forfeit the eligibility for admissions to any of the institutes through JoSAA.
