- Further, candidates who have passed 12th or equivalent exam in 2019, 2020 or appearing in 2021 are eligible.

What Factors Can Change JEE Mains 2021 Cut Off?
The following factors play a crucial role in determining the JEE Main Cut Off every year-
- A total number of candidates appeared for the exam – If the total number of candidates increases every year, the number of candidates scoring higher will increase as well. The JEE Main Cutoff will increase in this case.
- Level of difficulty of the exam – JEE Main Cut Off for Counselling is majorly depending on the level of difficulty. This is why JEE Main Cutoff has decreased in recent years.
- The number of available seats – Every year there are multiple intakes in Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and Government Funded Technical Institutions (GFTIs). If the number of colleges increase or decrease, or if the batch size is increased, compared to the number of applicants, JEE Main Cut Off will increase or decrease as well.
- Overall performance of the candidate – If a large number of applicants perform very well in JEE Main, the cutoff is subject to increment.

JEE Main Counselling 2021
The centralized counselling process for JEE Main 2020 has concluded for IITs and other engineering colleges. Seat Allocation in the institutes participating in the centralized process will be based on AIR and candidate preferences for branch and institute. JEE Main Counselling will be done at four levels in online mode:
- Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA): IITs, IIITs, NITs, IIEST Shibpur and other Government Funded Technical Institutes.
- CSAB Special Rounds: For NIT+ system colleges, if seats left vacant after JoSAA Counselling.
- CSAB-NEUT: AICTE approved institutes in North-East States & UTs.
- CSAB-SFTI: Counselling for 17 Self-funded Technical Institutes.
Difference Between JoSAA and CSAB
Initially, the counselling for AIEEE (now JEE Main) was conducted by CCB or Central Counselling Board. With structure of exams changing from 2013, to JEE Main and JEE Advanced, CCB was also renamed CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board).
- But from 2015-16, JoSAA or Joint Seat Allocation Authority was setup to conduct the joint counselling for IITs, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs. This was done in order to keep the process simple for students who appeared for both JEE Mains and JEE Advanced.
- Currently, CSAB handles counselling for few specific types – CSAB NEUT and CSAB Special Rounds. CSAB Special Round counselling is conducted only when there are vacant seats after all rounds of JoSAA Counselling are completed.
Seat Acceptance Procedure
- Payment of Fees and Seat Acceptance: After the seat allotment, candidates will have to choose one of the following options:
- Freeze: Candidates who are satisfied with the allotted seat and course and do not wish to participate in the JEE Main Counselling process any further, may choose this option.
- Float: Those candidates who want to keep the allotted seat but also wish to upgrade their seat (or course), may choose this option. This will take you for further rounds of JEE Main Counselling 2020.
- Slide: Those candidates who wish to keep the allotted seat in the same institute/college but would like to upgrade the course to a higher-ranked course can choose this option.
- Withdraw: Candidates who have been allotted a seat under a course of preferred college but now do not want admission can withdraw their seat by informing the same to the institute before the last date of seat allotment.
- Document Verification: The documents have to be verified during the reporting at colleges. This can be conducted uploading and reporting online.
- Final Reporting: After the verification of documents, candidates will have to report to the allotted institute and they will have to pay the balance fee as per the college course rules. In case a candidate does not report at college till the last date, the seat will be cancelled.
