After the release of JEE Advanced results, registration for JoSAA counselling has also started. There are a large number of students whose names have not appeared on the merit list. SC/ST and Divyang students who could not clear the JEE Advanced cutoff still have a chance to get admission to the prestigious engineering colleges of the country including IIT and IIS. This will be possible through the preparatory course of IIT.
The preparatory course is of one-year duration. After admission to this counselling, students can get admission to the same institute and department after one year based on their merit. However, this change will be available only if reserved seats for students of the respective category remain vacant in the institutes.
JoSAA has released a zone-wise list of IITs offering preparatory courses. There are seven zones of IITs – South Zone, West Zone, North Central Zone, North East Zone, Central Zone, East Zone and North Zone.
