The Ministry of Education (formerly the Ministry of Human Resources Development) created the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) to oversee and control joint seat allocation for engineering admissions for over 100 institutions, including IITs, IIITs, NITs, and other-government funded technical institutes (Other-GFTIs). A single portal handles admission for all such institutes, introducing a unified counselling platform that reduces the number of empty seats in engineering universities nationwide. The joint seat allocation process was efficiently implemented to accelerate the admissions process and make it more transparent. Candidates who clear JEE (Main) or JEE (Advanced) must register for JoSAA counselling to participate in the admission process for various eminent engineering institutions in India. JoSAA supervises admissions to 33 Other-GFTIs, 31 NITs, 26 IIITs, 23 IITs, and IIEST Shibpur.

Announcement of the final JoSAA seat allotment occurs over six rounds after the release of two mock allocations. The assignment of the seat is based on the results of the qualifying exam (JEE [Main] or JEE [Advanced]) and the choices made during registration. You can examine the seat allocation results by entering your application number and password into your account. What to do if you are not satisfied with the allotted seats ? The following options are available to you if you're unhappy with the seat assigned: 1. Freezing: If you choose to freeze, you accept the seat you've been given and will not participate in any other rounds. 2. Floating: If you want to accept the provided seat but are simultaneously looking for a place in a better/higher-ranked college or course, you can float. 3. Sliding: You accept the seat allotted, but if seats become available in a better programme at the same institute, you will apply for an upgrade. All candidates must report to the colleges allotted to confirm their admission by paying any outstanding academic costs.
