Why is state code of eligibility mandatory for JEE Main tracks?

HS/OS and special quota eligibility are tied to state code of eligibility, not domicile or current residence.

Which rank is used for comparison?

OPEN rows use CRL, PwD rows use category-PwD rank, and other reserved rows use category rank.

Why can a row show different final rounds by year?

The engine uses FINAL_ROUND per year and system (IIT vs NIT/IIIT/GFTI), based on rounds present in official data.

What does the review screen check?

It checks coverage, narrowness, missing rank lanes, IIT suppression, and whether the list still reflects your real preference order.

Build One Final JoSAA Preference Order

Start with your actual goal, validate the exact rank lanes, then refine one ordered JoSAA list before you copy it into the official portal.

Before you generate

Confirm track: IIT (JEE Advanced) vs NIT/IIIT/GFTI (JEE Main).
Confirm lane tags: category, gender pool, and PwD status.
Confirm State of Eligibility for JEE Main tracks.
Treat Safe, Match, and Dream as recent-cutoff guidance, not as guarantees. Legacy chance bands are folded into these tiers.
