The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) is the gateway for admissions to 23 IITs, 31 NITs, 26 IIITs, and 38 GFTIs.
Most students make the mistake of filling choices based only on previous year closing ranks, rather than branch preference versus college tier.
Understanding the difference between 'Freeze', 'Float', and 'Slide' is critical: 'Float' keeps your current seat safe while allowing you to upgrade to a higher-preference branch in ANY participating institute in subsequent rounds.
Expert Pro-Tip from Er. Rajesh Verma
Never finalize choice-filling or admission deposits without verifying the official AICTE/UGC affiliation and previous 3-year cutoff trajectory. If in doubt, reach out to verified alumni on LinkedIn or utilize our free mentor helpline.
