JoSAA

Candidates do not need to present a domicile certificate in order to be admitted to IIT, NIT, or IIIT via JEE. The only university where admission is granted based on the Home State Quota is NIT. The state in which you take your 12th board test is used to determine admission, not your home state. When receiving JoSAA counselling, the domicile certificate is not necessary. The JEE score of the applicants determines their admission.

While the JoSAA counselling is free of charge, the only fee that the candidates have to pay is for the seat confirmation, once taken admission, the fee is added to the semester fees of the candidate. 

The charges for seat confirmation for general category is INR 35,000 . While that for SC, Gen-PwD, ST, OBC-NCL-PwD, ST-PwD, and SC-PwD categories is INR 15,000.
