Students who have been allotted a seat in any college in the first round of seat allotment have to report online by 24th June by 5 pm.

The closing rank from gender neutral pool quota of NITs was allotted to NIT Mizoram Mathematics and Computing at 7 lakh 12487 and Mechanical from NIT Mizoram was allotted 10 lakh 70 thousand 84 AIR home state quota from female pool quota. This year, in JoSAA, 20 per cent seats were allotted to girls in the women’s category, including super numerical seats. This also gave lower ranked candidates an opportunity to choose Computer Science from top IIT-NITs as per merit list. This year, due to fewer girls in the top ranks, the open to closing rank of CS branch in IIT Bombay increased to 421 AIR, while last year a girl ranked 291 in the first round got CS branch in IIT Bombay. This year, among the top seven IITs, the closing ranks under the women’s pool quota were 556 for Delhi, 757 for Madras, 1117 for Kanpur, 1579 for Kharagpur, 1697 for Roorkee, 1809 for Hyderabad and 2095 for Guwahati, respectively.
