The spot counselling round for JEE Main 2024 is open to those who were not given seats in any prior round. There is no need to register separately for spot counselling. Candidates who are applying for the first time must register for on-site counselling and fill in their preferred choices.

The JEE Main 2024 counselling seat acceptance fee must be paid online before the online document verification for all applicants who received their seat first time in any round.
The system will instantly redirect to the EPG page if the candidate clicks "Pay Seat Acceptance Fee." To finish the payment procedure, the candidate can choose from a variety of choices, including a Debit Card, Credit Card, and Net Banking, depending on what is most convenient for him or her.

JEE Main 2024 Counselling Procedure
JEE Main 2024 counselling comprises many steps. To participate in the counselling, candidates must complete each level. The complete step-by-step counselling process is given here.
Step 1: Registration
Candidates must visit JoSAA's official website. Candidates who will take the JEE Main or JEE Advanced in 2024 must register in order to participate in the counselling. The following are the processes for completing the JoSAA 2024 registration form online:
- Visit the JoSAA official website.
- Enter your JEE Main 2024 application number, password, and security pin on the login page.
- Read the directions and then choose the 'I Agree' option.
- The JoSAA counselling form will be shown.
- Fill out the form and click the 'Confirm Registration' tab.
Step 2: Choice Filling & Locking
Aspirants will be asked to lock their institution and course options in the second stage. Candidates will be assigned seats depending on their availability and preferences. The processes for filling out and locking online choices are outlined below.
- Choose a college and a course on the online form.
- Candidates can choose to modify, amend, or remove their choices.
- Lock the options when you've verified them.
- After each session of counselling, candidates can secure their preferences.
Step 3: Seat Allotment
As per the students' JEE Main/JEE Advanced 2024 rankings, seats would be assigned to them. The JoSAA also performed a mock seat allocation in two rounds. Candidates who get seats must confirm their enrollment by paying the admission confirmation fee and reporting to the allocated institute by the deadlines.
Step 4: Payment of Fees
Candidates must pay the counselling fees and secure their seats after the seat allocation process. Candidates must use Net Banking or an e-Challan to pay the seat confirmation fee for the assigned seats. At the reporting centre, all necessary documents will be evaluated. A preliminary admission letter will be sent to the candidates when the documents are verified and the payment is made.
However, aspirants have the option to float, freeze, slide, and withdraw if they are unsatisfied with the seat they have been awarded.
Float: This option is available to candidates who want to maintain their assigned seat or seek an upgradation of seat
Freeze: Candidates may choose the "Freeze" option if they are happy with the seats they have been allotted and do not wish to take part in any more rounds of counselling.
Slide: Candidates can choose the "Slide" option if they wish to accept the seat they have been offered and upgrade their programme at the same college or institution.
Withdraw: Candidates who have already accepted a seat but wish to revoke their acceptance may do so by showing up at the institute they have been assigned to before the final round of JEE Main 2023 seat allocation.
Step 5: Document Verification
- Candidates must report to the assigned reporting centre in this stage with their original documentation.
- Candidates have a risk of getting their applications rejected if they do not show up to the centre or do not provide all the required documents.
- All documents must be kept in multiple copies by candidates so that they may check them and confirm their seats.
Step 6: Reporting to the Allotted College
The counselling for JEE Main 2024 ends with this phase. Candidates must show up at the designated college and pay the remaining tuition fee within the allowed time frame.
