JoSAA Seat Matrix 2026 - IIT NIT IIIT GFTI Total Seats

Quick Summary

• JoSAA seat matrix is the official list of available seats across IITs, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs, shown branch-wise, quota-wise and category-wise.

• Use seat matrix to confirm whether a branch exists in an institute, how many seats are offered, and which quotas apply (especially in NITs with Home State and Other State).

• As of March 8, 2026, the JoSAA Seat Matrix section on the official website is still showing Session 2025. The 2026 seat matrix will appear when JoSAA 2026 counselling portal goes live.

• Seat matrix tells seat availability. OR-CR tells last year admission ranks. Use both to build a smart choice list.

• Best method: short-list with OR-CR first, then verify seat availability and quota using seat matrix.

What is JoSAA Seat Matrix?

The JoSAA Seat Matrix is the official seat distribution table used for counselling. It shows how many seats are offered in each institute and branch, and how those seats are split by quota and category. This data comes from the counselling authority and participating institutes, so it is the best reference for seat availability.

Seat matrix answers these questions

• Is this branch available in this college in this year?

• How many seats are available in this branch?

• Do Home State and Other State quotas apply?

• How many seats are reserved for EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST and PwD?

• Are there female-only seats or gender-neutral seats for this program?

Important Note About Seat Matrix 2026 (Updated March 8, 2026)

JoSAA publishes the seat matrix for the counselling session. Right now, the official JoSAA website header and seat matrix page are still showing Admission and eCounselling Services for Session 2025. That means the 2026 seat matrix is not published yet.

For a 2026 plan, use the latest available official seat matrix (2025) to estimate seat availability. When JoSAA 2026 starts, update this page with the new seat matrix and highlight changes such as new branches, seat increase or seat reduction.
