    While the JoSAA counselling is free of charge, the only fee that the candidates have to pay is for the seat confirmation, once taken admission, the fee is added to the semester fees of the candidate. 

    The charges for seat confirmation for general category is INR 35,000 . While that for SC, Gen-PwD, ST, OBC-NCL-PwD, ST-PwD, and SC-PwD categories is INR 15,000. 

    To know more about the examination or JoSAA counselling, candidates can refer to the official website or Shiksha.

    It costs nothing to complete the options on the web portal. To secure a seat at an IIT or NIT, the candidates must pay the seat acceptance fee before completing the JoSAA procedure all the way through. Until the candidate pays the seat acceptance fee, the documents they have uploaded will not be confirmed. Applicants in the General/Open category must pay an amount of Rs 35,000; in contrast, applicants in the SC, Gen-PwD, ST, OBC-NCL-PwD, ST-PwD, and SC-PwD categories must pay Rs 15,000 via an e-challan or SBI net banking. Upon confirmation of admission, the fees will be added to the semester fees for the students.

    The filling-in of choices on the online portal is free of cost. The candidate must pay the seat acceptance fee before continuing with the JoSAA process till the end to avail the seat in an IIT or NIT. The documents uploaded by the candidate will not be verified unless the candidate pays the seat acceptance fee. General/Open category candidates are required to pay a fee of INR 35,000, whereas SC, Gen-PwD, ST, OBC-NCL-PwD, ST-PwD, and SC-PwD have to pay INR 17,500. The fees will be included in the semester fees once students confirm their admission.
