Today is the final call for JoSAA 2026 candidates. Seats in the NIT+ system must be secured by 5:00 pm today. Seat allocation results for Round 5 are already out for students. You must pay the Partial Admission Fee (PAF) through the portal. Missing this deadline will lead to the cancellation of your seat. This applies to NIT, IIEST, IIIT, and GFTI candidates specifically.
This step ensures your provisional seat becomes a confirmed college admission. The payment window opened on July 22 and closes today promptly. This payment is separate from the earlier Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF). You must pay even if you hope for a better seat later. The portal is the only official way to settle these dues.

Candidates must log in using their credentials to verify their current status. Check if your SAF status is marked as successful. If you fail to pay, the system treats your seat as rejected. This means you will not progress to the final physical reporting phase. Verify your bank balance and limit before starting the online payment.
To manage your finances, please note the specific fee amounts required now. These charges vary based on your category and previous payment history. Check the table below for a quick summary of the payment structure. This helps you prepare the exact amount for a smooth transaction today.
| Candidate Category | Partial Admission Fee (PAF) Amount |
|---|---|
| General, OBC-NCL, EWS | Rs. 45,000 |
| SC, ST, PwD | Rs. 20,000 |
Once you pay, your next task is physical reporting at the college. This critical mapping happens between August 13 and August 18 this year. You must carry all original documents for verification during this site visit. Ensure you have the latest medical certificate and category papers ready. Skipping this payment now disqualifies you from your current seat allocation.
Avoid common errors like bank server delays or browser time-zone issues. Many students lose seats because of slow websites near the deadline. Complete the task early to download your official fee confirmation slip. This document is vital for your final campus entry and enrollment process.
