Step 1: Choose Programme & Mode of Admission

NIT Jamshedpur (NIT JSR) is an Institute of National Importance that offers various undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral degrees. Admissions are primarily conducted through centralized national-level counseling.

Step 2: Appear for the Relevant Entrance Exam

Candidates must secure a valid rank or percentile in the following national-level exams:

• UG: JEE Main (conducted by NTA).

• PG: GATE (for M.Tech), IIT JAM (for M.Sc), and NIMCET (for MCA). Note: For 2026, NIT Jamshedpur is tentatively the coordinating institute for NIMCET.

• PhD: GATE, UGC-NET, CSIR-NET, or the NIT Jamshedpur internal entrance test (for self-sponsored/part-time categories).

Step 3: Register on Counseling or Institute Portal

For most courses, you do not apply to NIT JSR directly. You must register on the following centralized portals:

• B.Tech: Register on the JoSAA portal. If seats remain vacant after JoSAA, register for CSAB Special Rounds.

• M.Tech / M.Sc: Register on CCMT or CCMN portals respectively.

Step 4: Fill Programme / Branch Preferences

• JoSAA/CCMT/CCMN/NIMCET: During the choice-filling phase, you must provide a prioritized list of institutes. To join NIT Jamshedpur, ensure you list "National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur" and your preferred branches (e.g., Computer Science, Electronics, Mechanical) at the top of your list.

• PhD: Select specific research areas or departments during the institute-level application.

Step 5: Shortlisting & Merit List Preparation

• Centralized Rounds (B.Tech/M.Tech/MCA): Seats are allotted based on All India Rank (AIR). NIT Jamshedpur follows the 50% Home State (HS) quota for candidates from Jharkhand and 50% Other State (OS) quota.

• PhD: Shortlisted candidates must appear for a written test followed by a technical interview conducted by the respective Departmental Research Committee (DRC).

Step 6: Seat Allotment & Acceptance

Once a seat is allotted via the counseling portal, you must choose one of the following options:

• Freeze: You are satisfied with the seat and branch at NIT JSR.

• Float: You accept the seat but wish to be considered for a higher preference in the next round.

• Slide: You accept the seat at NIT JSR but want a better branch within the same institute.

Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF): To confirm your intent, you must pay the SAF (approx. INR 35,000 for General/OBC and INR 15,000 for SC/ST/PwD) online to the counseling body.

Step 7: Physical Reporting & Final Admission

After the final counseling round, candidates must report to the NIT Jamshedpur campus (typically in August).

• Balance Fee Payment: Pay the remaining institute fees (Total Fee minus SAF/PAF already paid).

• Document Verification: Submit original documents, including the JEE/GATE/JAM/NIMCET Scorecard, Class 10 & 12 Marksheets, Migration Certificate, and Category Certificate (if applicable).
