What is JoSAA Partial Admission Fee?

According to JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) counselling norms, the Partial Admission Fee or PAF is a charge that students must remit to verify their assurance on a reserved seat, mainly in the NIT+ model (NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs), once the final phase of seat allocation is completed. This fee is completely different from the SAF or Seat Acceptance Fee.

Also, the candidates must remit the fee within the desired deadline on the official JoSAA website. Upon surpassing the fee deadline, the PAF might end up canceling the allocated seat. The PAF is the final process to verify their seat confirmation in the NIT+ module. Aspirants with an allocated seat in the final phase of JoSAA counselling 2025 and candidates dissatisfied with their choice can also register in the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) counselling 2025 by contesting for vacant seats.

Students who remit the seat acceptance & partial admission fees during the JoSAA counselling process are adjusted based on the pending college fees over their admission. The PAF is non-refundable once paid, regardless of whether the student withdraws from counselling.
