Introduction

The JEE Main Counselling process is a very important step in college selection. After the NTA releases the final cut-off, the qualifying students can sit in the counselling rounds by JoSAA. It offers admission into the top engineering institutes in India. Students must make a note of certain eligible documents before sitting in the seat allocation round.

The JEE Main Counselling 2024 is expected to start from 10th June 2024. Further rounds of counselling will take place after the announcement of the results. Students must be familiar with the counselling rounds organised by the JoSAA. Seats are assigned to the students based on their obtained rank and college preferences.

What is the JEE Main Counselling Process?

The JEE Main Counselling Process is an essential step for students who want to get into engineering colleges in India. After passing the JEE Main exam, candidates need to register online at the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) website and pick their preferred colleges and courses.

Seats are then assigned based on the candidate’s rank and their choices. JoSAA will run several rounds of seat allocation, and candidates will get a letter that tells them which college and course they have been placed in. After this, students must go to the college they’ve been assigned to finalize their admission by paying fees and providing the required documents.

If there are still open seats, the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) will manage further rounds of counselling for specific regions and reserved categories. The counselling fee is ₹35,000 for general category students and ₹15,000 for SC, ST, OBC-NCL, and PwD candidates.
