The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) 2026 has opened the Partial Admission Fee (PAF) window. Candidates must complete this payment before July 24 at 5 PM IST. This mandatory step secures seats in the National Institute of Technology (NIT+) system. Failure to pay will result in the immediate rejection of your allocated seat.
This process applies to students with provisionally allocated seats in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs. Only those who have not withdrawn or had seats cancelled are eligible now. Completing this step confirms your intent to join the engineering programme. It bridges the gap between initial allocation and final campus admission.

Critical Steps for NIT+ Admission Success
Watch out for common errors like name or birth date mismatches during login. Avoid duplicate payments by waiting for transaction confirmation before trying again. Ensure your bank limits are sufficient for the admission fee to prevent delays. Small technical mistakes can jeopardize your seat in these premier Indian engineering institutes.
Paying the admission fee transitions you into a confirmed student role. It marks the final hurdle before you begin classes at your new college. Keep your payment receipt and all category proofs safe for physical verification. This final action secures your academic future in your chosen professional field.
