IIT, NIT admissions: Last date for seat acceptance extended


IIT, NIT admissions: Last date for seat acceptance extended

The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) has extended the date for the seat acceptance for the fourth round of seat allotment through Joint Engineering Examination (JEE). The results of the fourth round of seat allotment for admissions to IITs, NITs and other technical institutes were declared by JoSAA on July 22, and the selected candidates had been allowed to accept or reject the seats allotted to them by July 26.
However, the authorities have decided to extend this date up till July 28. This is the first time that a joint seat allocation is being conducted for admissions to all IITs and NITs. The students need to qualify JEE Main Paper I and Paper II in order to be eligible for admissions to NITs, and as for the admissions to IITs, they are required to clear both, JEE Main and JEE Advanced.
The students who get a seat are required to report to their respective centres for admission to IITs and NITs. If the candidates fail to do so, then they will be excluded from the admission process and won't be eligible to participate in the subsequent allotment rounds either.

JEE Main 2015 was held by CBSE on April 4, April 10 and April 11. The results for the same were announced on April 27. Over 13 lakh candidates appeared for JEE Main this year, out of which almost three lakh students took the online based exam.
The JEE Advanced was conducted on May 24. Approximately 1.5 lakh students have registered for the competitive exam, and about 1.25 lakh appeared for it.
There are a total of 87 participating institutes, 17 are Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), 31 are National Institutes of Technology (NITs), 18 are Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), 18 are Government Funded Technical Institutions (GFTIs) and Indian School of Mines (ISM).
