Dear student,
Josaa - joint seat allocation authority, is responsible for giving admission in undergraduate courses in IIT NIT, IIIT, gfti by counselling.
Many people think that only jee mains qualified candidates can participate in josaa counseling, which is not correct statement.
In jossa counseling, anyone who has given Jee mains can participate in josaa counselling.
Now as you have secured only 85 percentile in JEE mains exam from your general category, so you have not qualified your jee mains exam. But still you can participate in josaa counselling though you will not get any seat in any nits or iiits or gftis, etc.
Also you can check out our college predictor tool to get an appropriate idea of the colleges that you can get on the basis of your JEE mains rank :-
