Joint Seat Allocation Authority

The Joint Seat Allocation Authority conducts no examination. It was set up in 2015 by the Ministry of Education to do the step that comes after one: allocating seats across roughly 120 institutions — the IITs, NITs, IIITs and other government-funded technical institutes — from a single pool rather than each running its own admissions. A candidate enters their ranks from JEE Main and JEE Advanced, lists the programmes they want in order of preference, and JoSAA runs several rounds of allocation over June and July, each round moving candidates up their own lists as seats above them are vacated.
