The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Mains is a crucial examination for engineering students. Most colleges in Delhi accept it for admission. Admission to engineering colleges is based on JoSAA counselling. Here is a step by step process explaining the same.

Step-1 Register for JEE Main - Candidates must first register for JEE Main on the official NTA portal. While filling out the application form, students need to enter personal and academic details, choose the exam session, select preferred exam cities, and upload the required documents. Timely and accurate form submission is essential to avoid rejection.

For engineering colleges in Delhi like DTU, NSUT, and IIIT Delhi, admissions are conducted through JAC Delhi counselling based on JEE Main ranks.
Step-5 Counselling and Seat Allotment - Counselling authorities prepare merit lists based on JEE Main rank, category, and preferences. Through JoSAA or JAC Delhi, candidates are allotted seats in multiple rounds depending on availability and choices filled.
