In line with the recommendations of the technical committee, the joint seat allocation process, managed by the JoSAA, was implemented starting from the academic year 2015-2016, after obtaining approval from the councils of IITs and NITSER.
Every year, JoSAA conducts joint counseling for the allocation of seats to undergraduate programs at Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (IITs, NITs, IIITs, SPAs, and other GFTIs), with admissions based on the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). To facilitate this counseling, the CSAB (for NITs) and JAB (for IITs) will enter into an agreement.
