Hi.

For a candidate with both type of ranks, during counselling through JOSAA for NITs and other GFTIs, if you apply for a reserved seat for categories like OBC, OBC(Pwd), GEN-EWS, SC, ST or their Pwd seats then your category rank will be used for counselling. However if you wish to apply for General seats then your Common Rank or All India Rank will be used for seat allotment process during counselling.

You can use our College Predictor tool for JEE Mains to help you in finding college and branch of your choice based on your merits in the exam.

Good Luck
