JoSAA Counselling 2017: Most Important Points

While registering yourself and taking part in the online counselling process, take care of these very important points:

Counselling starts from 15th June onwards and ends on 26th June at 5 pm.
All candidates who have appeared in JEE (Main) 2017 are eligible for seat allocation in NIT+ system (except IITs). Even the candidates who did not clear the cut-off should participate in the counselling to see what they get.
All candidates who have been declared qualified in JEE (Adv) 2017 are eligible for seat allocation in ALL participating Institutes.
Filling-in of choices: Candidates may fill-in their choices of Institutes and branches in decreasing order of their preference. Candidates are strongly urged to fill-in as many choices as possible.
Locking of choices: Candidates MUST “lock” their choices. For candidates who do NOT lock their choices, their last saved choices will be locked automatically when the time-window for filling-in of choices closes.
Number of rounds of seat allocation: JoSAA will conduct seven rounds that is 1st through 7th rounds of seat allocation for academic programs offered by Institutes under JoSAA 2017.
Seat acceptance: Candidates allotted a seat must pay the seat acceptance fee (through e-Challan/SBI NetBanking) and get the documents verified at any reporting center (josaa.nic.in) for provisional seat acceptance.
Participation in subsequent rounds: A candidate is required to fill option for ‘freeze’, ‘slide’ or ‘float’ the choice of academic program.
Dual Reporting: If in a subsequent round, a candidate’s allotment from NIT+ system changes to an IIT, the candidate MUST report ONCE AGAIN at an IIT reporting centre, similarly if a candidate’s allotment from IIT changes to an NIT+ system, the candidate MUST report ONCE AGAIN at any NIT+ reporting centre, failure to do so will result in forfeiture of seats allocated in both NIT+ system and IIT.
Withdraw option: A candidate, who has already accepted a seat, can withdraw the seat by reporting at a reporting center before the seventh round of seat allocation.
Registration – Candidates who do NOT register within the specified time window WILL NOT be able to seek admission for this academic year
Filling-in of choices – Candidates who do NOT fill-in choices within the specified time window WILL NOT be able to seek admission for this academic year
Dual Reporting: Two times reporting required in case of seat allotment changes from NIT+s system to IITs and vice versa.
No modification of locked choices – once locked, choices CANNOT be modified. So be absolutely sure about your choices. If you are not sure, save the best list without locking. You'll have the option of changing it before the deadline. And it is automatically submitted after the deadline.
