JoSAA/CSAB Counseling Process
The admission process for NSMG is conducted through JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) or CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board). The process involves several stages including registration, choice filling, seat allocation, and document verification.
Students must register on the official JoSAA website and fill in their preferences for various colleges and programs. Based on their JEE Main ranks, candidates are allocated seats according to a merit-based system.
The counseling process typically begins in June, with multiple rounds of seat allocation throughout the month. Candidates who do not get a seat in the first round can participate in subsequent rounds if available.
Once a seat is allocated, students must verify their documents and confirm their admission by paying the required fees. The entire process is transparent and governed by strict rules to ensure fairness and equality.
