This is how to fill college and branch choices

Students have been given the opportunity to fill choices for more than 700 programs of 127 institutes in JoSAA counseling only once, so students should fill the options of as many colleges as possible in the descending order of their preference. Students can estimate the trend of choosing colleges by looking at the opening and closing ranks of colleges of previous years.

Students should also include college branches ranked below the closing rank of previous years in the order of their interest in the college preference list. Before filling the list of colleges in JoSAA counseling, prepare the list of your preferred colleges on paper and after evaluating it, fill it online so that there is no possibility of mistake. Students must check before locking the college choice because after locking it, changes will not be possible.

The first allotment will be done on open rank

According to the business rule given by JoSAA counseling, the first seat allocation in the college seat allocation filled to all the students according to their rank will be done on open rank only.

If a seat is not available on open rank, then the students of category will be allotted college seat according to their category rank. In this way, students of category can get seat from both open and category as per their rank.

Documents required in online reporting

After seat allocation in JoSAA counseling, students will have to scan and upload 10th, 12th mark sheet, category certificate, photocopy of cancelled cheque, medical certificate etc. in online reporting. EWS and OBC students will have to submit category certificate after April 1, 2025. Otherwise their category will be cancelled and seats will be allotted through open rank.
