JoSAA 5th counselling 2020: The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) 2020 has released the result for the fifth round of seat allotment for admission to engineering colleges – including IITs, NITs, IIITs and other government-funded colleges. Students who had applied for JoSAA counselling based on JEE results can check their result at josaa.nic.in.
Those who wish to take the allotted college will have to pay a fee. Students’ documents will be verified and then only a seat will be given. This year, due to the pandemic, the document verification process is also being held online. Only those who are allotted a seat need to go to verification centres physically.
