Choice Filling Process
- Candidates should login to the https://josaa.nic.in
- Candidate has to sign up as a new user in the portal where he/she needs to authenticate by entering the JEE (Main) 2024 Application Number or JEE (Advanced) 2024 login ID.
- A One Time Password (OTP) will be sent to the registered mobile number and email address of the candidate.
- Upon entering the OTP, the system will prompt the candidate to set a password.
- After this step, the candidate must login with the newly set password, and proceed to future steps such as registration, choice filling, choice freezing etc.
- Candidates are NOT required to pay any fee.
- A candidate may be eligible for seat allocation based on one, two, three or all four examinations, viz., JEE (Advanced) 2024, JEE (Main) 2024 B.E. / B.Tech. Paper, JEE (Main) 2024 B.Arch. Paper, and JEE (Main) 2024 B.Plan. Paper.
- Candidates have an 8-day window to make their choices, which includes 2 mock seat allocations. This 8-day window will not be extended under any circumstances.
- Candidates must ‘lock’ their choices by the final day of choice filling. If they fail to do so, their last saved choices will be automatically locked when the choice filling deadline is reached.
- Once locked, a candidate’s choices cannot be edited. However, if a candidate wants to modify their choices after locking but before the choice filling deadline, they can request an unlock through the online JoSAA portal. Upon validation via an OTP sent to their registered mobile and email, the candidate’s choices will be unlocked for editing.
The JoSAA admission process is a crucial way for students to get into prestigious engineering colleges like IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs in India. It’s a well-organised system that allocates seats fairly based on JEE Main and Advanced ranks. Starting with registration and choice filling, it leads to securing a spot in your desired college. Staying informed and prepared throughout this process increases your chances of getting into a top-tier institution.
