The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) has declared the results for JEE-Advanced 2026, paving the way for the commencement of the admission process for IITs and other participating institutions. Shubham Kumar from the IIT Delhi zone secured All India Rank (AIR) 1 with a score of 330 marks, while Kabir Chhillar, also from the IIT Delhi zone, secured AIR 2 with 329 marks.
After the JEE-Advanced 2026 results were announced, the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counselling process and registration for the Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) began for eligible candidates. While AAT registration began on June 1, the registration and choice-filling process for JoSAA counselling is scheduled to begin on June 2.
The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) conducts a centralised admission process for over 120 renowned technical institutions across the country, including 23 IITs, 31 NITs, 26 IIITs, and several Government-Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs). Admission to IITs is based on a candidate’s JEE-Advanced 2026 rank, whereas seats in NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs are allocated based on their JEE Main rank.
Through the JoSAA portal, candidates are required to register, fill in and lock their preferred institution-program combinations, participate in the seat allocation rounds, and complete the online reporting process once a seat has been allotted.
