Candidates are required to register on the official portal to participate in the seat allocation process. Follow these steps to complete your submission:
Registration for JoSAA is free. However, candidates must be prepared to pay the Seat Acceptance Fee after the first seat allotment. If a candidate fails to lock their choices manually, the system will automatically lock the last saved preferences at the deadline. It is highly recommended that candidates verify their preference order multiple times before the cutoff.
The seat acceptance fee is a one-time payment that is subsequently adjusted against the semester fee at the allotted institute.
