A. JoSAA allocates seats based on candidate’s JEE (Main) 2015 ranks [for NIT+ institutes] or JEE (Advanced) 2015 ranks [for IITs/ISM] in the order of highest to least preference and availability of seats.
A seat to the highest possible choice of academic program is allocated to the candidate considering the following factors:
(1) The category [GEN, OBC-NCL, SC, etc.] of the candidate
(2) The position of the candidate in rank list (s)
(3) The prioritization of academic programs of the candidate
(4) The availability of seats in different seat categories / seat quotas for which the candidate is eligible for

Q. What happens if there are multiple students with the same rank seek admission to the same academic program?
A. Suppose that, under a particular seat category for an academic program, there are seats left to be filled and there are ( ) candidates with the same category-wise rank seeking admission to this academic program, then all the candidates will be offered admission; in this case, there will be supernumerary seats.

Q. How many seats one can get allocated in this system of joint seat allocation?
A. Even if a candidate is eligible based on any two or all three examinations, only a single set of academic programs is made available and he/she will be allocated only ONE seat from among his/her choices based on ranks in categories and their applicability in type of examination / institution. Hence, it is important for candidates to carefully prioritize the academic programs while filling-in the choices.

Q. What is dual reporting?
A. If a candidate has accepted a seat in an NIT+ Institute in one round, and then in a subsequent round the candidate is allocated a seat in an IIT/ISM, the seat accepted by him/her in the NIT, IIIT (Triple-I-T) or Other-GFTI is treated as forfeited. However, he/she has to report to any one of the reporting center of the IITs. Otherwise he/she has to forfeit both the seats.
