JoSAA/CSAB Counseling Process
The JoSAA/CSAB counseling process for CIM admissions involves several critical steps:
- Registration on the official JoSAA portal with valid details and preferences.
- Submission of scorecards from qualifying entrance exams like JEE Main, NEET, or state-level tests.
- Document verification and eligibility checks conducted by the authorities.
- Seat allocation based on rank, category, and preference choices provided by applicants.
- Payment of fees and confirmation of admission within specified time frames.
Steps Involved in Counseling
The counseling process begins with the announcement of the cutoff ranks followed by a period for preferences to be filled. Candidates must carefully review all available options and rank their choices strategically to maximize chances of securing admission to their preferred program.
Seat Allocation Mechanism
Seats are allocated through a centralized computerized system that ensures fair distribution based on merit and category-wise quotas. The process includes round-wise seat allotment, where candidates may be offered seats in different institutions if they meet the criteria.
