What is JoSAA Counselling?

JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) is the official body that conducts counselling and seat allocation for students who have qualified JEE Advanced 2025 or JEE Main. Through JoSAA counselling, students get admission into IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other government-funded technical institutions (GFTIs).

You should register for JoSAA counselling if:

• You have cleared JEE Advanced 2025 (for IIT admissions)
• You have a valid JEE Main score (for NITs, IIITs, GFTIs)
• You wish to participate in centralised engineering admissions

Even if you are unsure about joining immediately, it’s best to register and fill in your choices to keep your options open.
