JoSAA Choice Filling Process 2020

Before going for JoSAA Registration & Choice Filling 2020, the candidates need to read the process carefully. Every student will be allowed for JoSAA Choice Filling 2020 only once. Thus, the students must take the utmost care while filling their choice of preference for admission.

The candidates can fill as many choices as available to them according to their rank. The choice filling must be done in the order of priority which means you have to give the first priority to the college/ course which you want the most and so on.

Choice Locking - After the JoSAA choice filling is completed, the candidates will have to lock their choices before the final date. In case any candidate fails to lock the choices, the choices made will be automatically submitted on the final date.

Students who complete the JoSAA registration and choice filling within the specified dates will be considered for seat allotment. Seats will be allotted through centralized counseling based on ranks in JEE Main/ JEE Advanced.
