Joint Seat Allocation Authority JoSAA has been set up to manage and regulate joint seat allocation for admissions to over 100 institutes, including IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other government-funded technical institutes (other GFTIs). According to the home state quota rule, your domicile state is considered the state from which you have completed your 12th grade board exam. Approximately 50% of seats are reserved for this quota. So if you have completed your 12th grade in Rajasthan, your home state will be Rajasthan even though your domicile state is Jharkhand.

No, one does not have to apply separately at IIT Madras website after JoSAA counselling. This is because the institute follows a common admission process for its BTech course just like the other IITs. Shortlisted students who get a seat through the JoSAA counselling, simply need to report for document verification and pay the acceptance fees. All the details of the students will be forwarded to IIT Madras by JoSAA directly. Information about the orientation, fee payment, and hostel allocation will be mailed online.
The seats offered via JoSAA counselling vary every year. In 2025, the number of seats offered was as follows:
| Institute | Total seats on offer in 2025 | Number of seats added in 2025 | Total seats on offer in 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) | 18,160 | 400 | 17,760 |
