The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) has issued important guidelines for the counselling process in 2024. This year, the entire counselling process will be conducted in five rounds only. Here are the key details students need to know about fee payments and seat allocation to ensure their admission process goes smoothly.
Partial Admission Fee Requirement for JoSAA 2024 Counselling
Students who are allotted seats in NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs in the last round of JoSAA counselling must deposit a partial admission fee if they are satisfied with their college allotment. The partial admission fee is set at Rs 20,000 for SC/ST category students and Rs 40,000 for General, OBC, and EWS category students.
This fee must be paid between July 24 and July 26. Failure to deposit the partial admission fee will result in the cancellation of the allotted seat, even if the student has already paid the seat acceptance fee.
JoSAA 2024 – Adjustment of Fees
The seat acceptance fee and the partial admission fee paid by the students during counselling will be adjusted against the remaining college fees during their final admission. This ensures that students do not have to pay these amounts again when they complete their college admission process.
Participation in CSAB Counselling
Students who are not satisfied with their allotted seat from the NIT system and wish to participate in the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) counselling for vacant seats can do so. They must pay the partial admission fee to secure their current allotted seat. The CSAB counselling process will begin on July 30.
JoSAA 2024 Fourth Round Seat Allocation
Seat allocation for the fourth round of JoSAA counselling 2024 will be announced today, July 10, at 5 PM. This round covers 59,917 seats across 121 institutes, including IITs and NITs.
Students who are allotted a college seat for the first time in the fourth round must upload the required documents by July 15, pay the seat acceptance fee, and complete online reporting. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of their allotted seat.
It’s crucial for students participating in the JoSAA counselling 2024 to adhere to the fee payment deadlines and complete all required steps promptly. Staying informed about the counselling schedule and requirements will help ensure a smooth admission process. For more details and updates, students should regularly check the official JoSAA website.
