Think of JoSAA as a matching service. After your JEE Advanced results, you'll log into the JoSAA portal and rank your preferred branches at IIT Dharwad.

Once a seat is offered, you'll pay the fees online and complete a virtual reporting process to lock in your spot before heading to the campus.

While clearing JEE Main is a huge achievement, it's actually just the first hurdle for IITs. JEE Main acts as a qualifying test that allows the top 2.5 Lacs candidates to sit for JEE Advanced.

It's a centralized process, so you only physically deal with the college once your seat is officially confirmed.

Once the results are live in mid-June, the JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) counselling begins. This is the most critical phase where you'll list IIT Dharwad as your preference. The counselling runs through several rounds from late June to July. You'll need to be available during these weeks to freeze your seat, upload documents, and pay the seat acceptance fee online to lock in your spot.
