What is JoSAA?
JoSAA, or Joint Seat Allocation Authority, is a body created by the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD). It handles the joint seat allocation for admissions in over 100 institutes, such as IITs, NITs, IIITs, and Other-Government Funded Technical Institutes (Other-GFTIs). The goal is to streamline the admission process for these institutes through a single platform, reducing the number of vacant engineering seats nationwide. This ensures a smoother, more effective, efficient, transparent, and faster admission process. JoSAA manages the admission process for 23 IITs, 31 NITs, 26 IIITs, and 38 Other-Government Funded Technical Institutes (Other-GFTIs). The seat allotment in the seven rounds of JoSAA Counselling in 2024 is based on the merits of candidates and their preferences for programs and colleges.
Admission to participating institutions is open to all JEE Main and JEE Advance qualified candidates. For eligible candidates, over 50,000 seats in undergraduate engineering (BTech/BE), will be available. JoSAA counselling was used by renowned institutes such as the Punjab Engineering College in Chandigarh, Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi, and International Institute of Information Technology (Bhubaneswar) to conduct their admission processes.
