Engineering is one of the most fancied disciplines among the current youth. As a result, every year lakhs of students sit through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE)- Mains, to commence their dream role. No wonder, there is a significantly high competition in the field and a lot of pressure among the students to get into the pristine educational institutions of India.
With a legacy from colonial India, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT, Roorkee) has been among the favourite destinations among thousands of students qualifying the JEE exam. Along with being a lustrous, greenest and elite campus, promising access to resources and comfort at the same time, there are far more things that the student must know.
Some of these things are discussed as below:

In India, the allocation of the seats across the various engineering colleges, including IIT is facilitated by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA). The JoSAA counsellings are generally conducted post the results of JEE Advanced.
Along with JOSAA, bodies like Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB), or the concerned State Government/Institute also conduct the counselling but after the declaration of result/ranks of JEE (Main)- 2023.
The result of JEE Main and Advanced gives away the two ranks of any student- All India Rank & All India Category Rank.
The overall quota/reservation seats followed across all the IITs of India are as follows:
Category | Reserved Percentage of Seats in Each Course |
GEN – EWS | 10% |
OBC – NCL | 27% |
SC | 15% |
ST | 75% |
PwD | 5% in each category seats |
Alongside the above distribution there are the provisions for 20% supernumerary seats for females and 10% of that of foreign nationals.
At IIT Roorkee, for about 17 UG courses, there is the availability of 1353 seats including 132 supernumerary seats for females.
