JoSAA Counselling 2024: Fee

Candidates must pay 35,000 (including Rs. 5,000 JoSAA processing charges) as a seat acceptance fee, which will be adjusted against the admission fee. Candidates other than the general category (candidates with SC, ST, GEN-PwD, GEN-EWS-PwD, OBC-NCL-PwD, SC-PwD or ST-PwD tag) will have to pay 17,500 as a seat acceptance fee. 

Candidates can pay the seat acceptance fee using Debit card / UPI / Credit card / Net Banking / E-Challan.

Candidates must note that non-payment of the seat acceptance fee is one way to reject the offered/allocated seat and will be treated as a rejection. In such a situation, the candidate will no longer be able to participate in the seat allocation process in the subsequent rounds.

Thus, candidates are advised to pay the seat acceptance fee on the first day of the respective round and not wait for the last days so that their documents may be verified. This will leave sufficient time for them to properly respond to the reporting officer’s queries / additional queries, if any.

Partial Admission Fee (PAF): Rs. 20,000 for candidates with the category tag SC, ST, GEN-PwD, GEN-EWS-PwD, OBC-NCL-PwD, SC-PwD or ST-PwD, and Rs. 45,000 for all other candidates.
