Major engineering colleges in India offer their seat on the basis of the JEE score. JEE Mains accepting institutions include 31 national technology institutes (NITs), 23 Indian information technology institutes (IIITs) and 23 centrally funded technical institutions (CFTIs). This means that no fewer than 77 institutes of national interest participate in institutes of JEE Main. Apart from that, the JEE Main score is accepted by certain self-financed universities and institutions like Thapar, LNMIIT jaipur and many more colleges. (However for selection in IIT's you have to clear JEE advanced as well)

Hope your question is answered
No not really. Many times colleges just provide scholarship based on your JEE score. They know that there are thousands of students who could not get seat in NIT or IIT, so they take the advantage of this situation by offering seats in their colleges based on JEE score. They make students feel that their hardwork is not wasted as they could use their JEE score to egt admission in their institute.
