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.
