No, there is no need to apply separately at VNIT Nagpur after JoSAA counselling. BTech and BArch admissions at all NITs, including VNIT, are centrally managed through JoSAA and CSAB (for vacant seats). Aspirants only have to register for these counselling processes and keep VNIT in their college preferences. If they clear the required cut-off, they are automatically allotted a seat at VNIT Nagpur. To confirm their admission, they must submit the acceptance fee and report to the institute for document verification.
