Last year, the JEE Mains counseling was done by the central seat allocation board, but this year, the Urban Legend has it that this year, it would be conducted by the JoSAA, which is supposed to be the joint collaboration of “Joint Admission Board” and the “Central Seat Allocation Board.”
The mechanism this year has been set to the “online” mode. Meaning almost everything, from filling of the forms to the allocation of the seats would be done online.
The decision from the JoSAA is deemed to be final, meaning if a student rejects the seats allotted to him by the authority, he wouldn’t be allowed to sit in any other rounds of allotments.
Ofcourse the students have to qualify the JEE main exams in order to be able to participate in the counseling no doubt there.
The allotment is done totally on the basis of the merit, the marks secured by the student in the JEE Mains examination.
Ofcourse the students get the chance to select the preferred allotted locations, are the colleges where the wants to be placed, but this still is not guaranteed, I mean placement.
And that is where the merit, the marks come into action, the more marks you secure, the lower your rank will be, and thus the most chances of you getting allotted to your desired locations / colleges is.

Dual Reporting:-
Now this might come as a bit of news to you, but there is a thing called dual reporting with the JEE mains counseling, this is the phase which allows you to switch your colleges, or institutes.
For example, if you have been allotted a college under the IIT or NIIT selection program, but then you choose to switch your college, that you can do in a second round of counseling.
Of course, this choice is given only once; and decision is final, I mean once you have been given a college, and it has been finally allotted to you, you cannot change the college, and you do not have the permission of the rights to sit in for another round of counseling.
