Responding to Queries for Document Verification

During JoSAA document verification, if a query is raised by the verification officer, the candidate is required to respond through the online candidate portal within the given time frame. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of the allotted seat and the candidate will no longer be eligible for participation in any subsequent rounds of JoSAA 2025. Candidates are responsible for regularly checking the online portal and ensuring timely responses to any queries. No separate notifications will be provided to the candidates.

To proceed with the JoSAA process and secure a seat in IITs or NIT+ System, candidates are required to pay the seat acceptance fee. The verification of uploaded documents is contingent upon the payment of this fee. Upon receiving a seat for the first time, candidates must remit the seat acceptance fee in the respective round. Failure to pay the seat acceptance fee constitutes a refusal of the offered or allocated seat and renders the candidate ineligible for further participation in subsequent rounds of the seat allocation process.

SAF: JoSAA seat acceptance fee (SAF) is given below

How to pay the JoSAA seat acceptance fee: Candidates should remit the seat acceptance fee using a Debit card / UPI / Credit card / Net Banking / E-Challan.

PAF: JoSAA partial admission fee (SAF) is given below

After the last round of JoSAA 2025, candidates with a provisionally allocated seat (allocated in any round of JoSAA 2025 and not cancelled or withdrawn) in NIT+System must remit the Partial Admission Fee (PAF). Failure to pay the partial admission fee will result in the rejection of the offered/allocated seat.

How to pay the partial admission fee: For payment of PAF, candidates should either use a Debit card or UPI or Credit card or Net Banking facilities available on the JoSAA portal or E-challan of State Bank of India downloaded from the JoSAA portal for making physical payment.

After successful verification of the uploaded documents and confirmation that the candidate meets all eligibility criteria, the seat will be confirmed by IITs/NIT+ System Institutes. Upon validation of all documents and eligibility criteria, the allocated seat will be provisionally confirmed, and the candidate will be informed via the online JoSAA 2025 portal.

A “Provisional Seat Allotment letter” will be available for download on the online portal if all documents are found to be valid and the candidate meets the eligibility criteria. Provisional Acceptance indicates that the candidate has accepted the offer, but the final acceptance is subject to the successful verification of certificates, joining the provisionally allotted institute, and payment of any remaining institute fees.

For the IITs: After the joint seat allocation and acceptance process, candidates are required to report to the admitting institute to complete all admission formalities, including payment of institute fees, confirmation of admission, and commencement of the academic session. During the reporting process, all certificates will undergo thorough re-verification by the admitting institute. Admission will be revoked if the certificates fail to meet the prevailing norms.

Furthermore, for IITs, biometric verification will be conducted at the time of reporting, matching the biometric data captured during the exam. Failure to pass the biometric verification will result in admission cancellation.

For the NIT+systems: Upon completion of CSAB Special Rounds, physical reporting at the admitting Institute will take place. During this process, all certificates will be meticulously re-evaluated to ensure compliance with prevailing norms. Admission will be revoked if the certificates fail to meet the stipulated requirements. Candidates allotted a seat in the NIT+ System should consult the CSAB website for the schedule of Physical Reporting (https://csab.nic.in).
