About JoSAA Counselling 2025

The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) regulates the admission process to prestigious institutes such as IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other government-funded technical institutes. JoSAA operates under the Ministry of Education and regulates admissions to 121 institutes across India.

JEE Main Counselling 2025:Two Major Processes

The JEE Main counselling 2025 process comprises three major phases. JoSAA conducts the first phase for admissions into IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFITs. CSAB conducts the second phase of the counselling process in two modes: i) CSAB NEUT and CSAB SFTI.  CSAB NEUT fills additional seats reserved for candidates from the North-Eastern states and Union Territories. On the other hand, CSAB SFTI, which covers 18 Self-Financing Technical Institutes (SFTIs), assigns seats according to the applicant’s JEE Main AIR and preference order.

JoSAA Counselling 2025 vs CSAB Counselling 2025

Students often get confused between these two counselling processes. To make it easier to understand, a detailed comparison has been provided below:

JoSAA	CSAB
Conducts six rounds for seat allocation	Conducts two rounds for seat allocation
Candidates who qualified for JEE Mains & Advanced are eligible to participate	Seats may remain vacant after JoSAA counselling
Seats may remain vacant after JoSAA counseling	Eligible candidates are those who failed to appear for JoSAA counseling. Candidates who want to upgrade the seat / didn’t receive any seat in JoSAA counseling.

JEE Main Counselling 2025: Eligibility Criteria for Admissions

JEE Main Counselling 2025: Document Format and Verification Guidelines

Proper documentation is one of the most important parts of JoSAA counselling 2025. Each certificate submitted during JEE Main 2025 counselling must strictly follow JoSAA’s prescribed formats and validity rules. Even small mistakes, such as incorrect format, incorrect issuance date, or inconsistencies in personal details, can lead to rejection, a category change, or the cancellation of the allotted seat. This guide explains all document-related rules candidates must follow to ensure a smooth and error-free counselling process.

JoSAA counselling 2025: Issuance Date Requirements for Category Certificates

JoSAA is very strict about the issuance date of certain certificates. If a certificate does not adhere to the specified date requirement, the category benefit is revoked even if the candidate technically belongs to that category.

Certificate Type	Required Issuance Date	Notes
OBC–NCL Certificate	On or after 1 April 2025	Mandatory; older certificates are automatically invalid
GEN–EWS Certificate	On or after 1 April 2025	Older certificates result in category shift to General
SC/ST Certificate	No annual date restriction	Must be issued by competent authority; must be in the Central List
PwD Certificate	As per RPwD Act	Must clearly mention type and percentage of disability

Incorrect issuance dates are one of the top reasons candidates lose OBC–NCL and EWS reservation benefits.

JoSAA counselling 2025: Requirements for PwD Certificate

Candidates applying under the PwD category must provide a certificate issued in accordance with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016. The certificate must clearly specify:

• Type of disability
• Percentage of disability
• Permanent or temporary condition
• Authorised medical signature and stamp

Only the official JoSAA format is accepted. Any deviation can lead to the denial of PwD reservation benefits.

JoSAA counselling 2025: Medical Fitness Certificate Requirements

All candidates must submit a Medical Fitness Certificate in JoSAA’s official format. This certificate verifies the student’s physical fitness and includes:

• Height and weight
• Vision status
• General health status
• Doctor’s stamp, signature, and medical registration number

The certificate is again verified at the time of reporting at the allotted institute.

JoSAA counselling 2025: Domicile Certificate Requirements

A Domicile Certificate may be required depending on the counselling type:

• CSAB Special Rounds
• State quota allocations
• Certain NITs and GFTIs with Home State quotas

The appropriate district authority must issue the certificate and must match the personal details submitted in the JEE application.

JoSAA Counselling 2025: Uploading Scanned Copies and Verification of Originals

During the online process, students must upload digitally scanned copies of the original versions of their documents. The uploaded copies must be clear, readable, and free from distortion.

Later, at the institute reporting stage, candidates must show:

Any mismatch between the scanned copy and the physical original may lead to cancellation of the seat.
