The National Testing Agency (NTA) has declared the NTA JEE Mains 2025 session 2 result on April 18. Along with this, the Common Rank List and toppers details have also been issued for both Session 1 and Session 2 exams. Now the next step for NTA JEE Main aspirants is to participate in JoSAA counselling 2025. Successful candidates can also appear for the JEE Advanced 2025 exam.
JoSAA Counselling 2025
For candidates who have achieved the JEE Main 2025 AIR through their JEE Main 2025 scorecards, the next steps consist of two important phases: JEE Advanced 2025 and the Joint Seat Allocation Authority Counselling or JoSAA Counselling 2025. The JoSAA Counselling 2025 official website is josaa.nic.in.
All candidates who qualify for the JEE Advanced 2025 exam and possess JEE Main ranks must register for JoSAA counselling to gain admission to their preferred UG engineering programs provided by IITs, NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and other GFTIs. The JoSAA Counselling 2025 is expected to begin in June, most probably on June 03, 2025.
What is JoSAA Counselling?
The JoSAA counselling procedure aids in the distribution of seats for undergraduate engineering courses at numerous esteemed institutions like IITs, NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and other GFTIs. Admission to IITs relies on JEE Advanced ranks, whereas seats in other participating institutions are distributed according to JEE Main ranks.
The Ministry of Education has set up the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) to manage the allocation procedure for 121 institutes, comprising 23 IITs, 31 NITs, IIEST Shibpur, 26 IIITs, and 40 Other-GFTIs. Qualified applicants must sign up via the official JoSAA online platform to take part in the counselling and obtain a place in any of the previously mentioned institutes.
