What is JoSAA?

JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) was started by the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India, to conduct the JEE Main and JEE Advance seat allocation for admissions to various IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other government technical Institutes. The MHRD introduced this seat allocation authority to reduce the vacant seats in engineering colleges in India. JoSAA functions as a single platform to conduct admissions to these institutes. JoSAA conducts the entire seat allocation procedure and ensures that the process is smooth, transparent, and most importantly effective for engineering aspirants across the country.
