About JoSAA:

The JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) has been set up by the MHRD (Ministry of Human Resources Development) to streamline and oversee joint seat allocation for admissions across institutes like IITs, NITs, IIITs, and Other Government-Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs). Admission across all these institutes will be done via a single platform. The joint seat allocation process has been introduced to make the whole admission process smoother, more effective, transparent, and faster. The seat allotment of candidates via JoSAA will be based on the merit of the participating candidates and their preferences for courses.
