New Delhi, Jul 23: 6th JoSAA Counselling Seat Allotment ended successfully leaving behind 5915 vacant in the engineering colleges, which include Indian Institute of Technology IIT’s, National Institute of Technology NIT’s, Indian Institute of Information Technology IIIT’s and various other centrally funded government institutes. The seventh round of JoSAA Counselling is still open. The aspirants who have not yet got admission still have a chance in IIT’s and NIT’s. The most popular courses like Computer Science and Technology have 26 seats vacant in various IITs, especially at the newer IITs like Goa, Jammu, Indore, Patna, Dharwad and Jodhpur. In a similar manner, electrical engineering course has 56 vacant seats. Also, the seats are even vacant at the top institutes like IIT-Delhi (two in the same course) and IIT-Bombay (one in civil engineering). Two seats in aerospace engineering remain vacant at the Powai campus. As per admission dean, “There could be several reasons…. Some candidates prefer Institute over the stream and many others want to pursue stream of their choice. What is surprising is that most of these are in the open category, which means there are candidates, but they don’t want to join these courses.”
“No withdrawal of admission will be allowed in the seventh and final round, and we hope no seats will remain vacant till then,” an official from JoSAA said. The sixth and seventh round of seat allotment will be announced on July 18 and July 21, respectively. Also, there 20 seats are available at the start of the seventh round at IIT Madras. The largest vacancy was at IIT-Varanasi. At the end of the joint counselling last year, there were 73 vacancies in the IITs, bulk of them in IIT-Varanasi (38). In case of NITs (National Institutes of Technology), there are 1,518 vacancies. – Courtesy / JoSAA 2017

Nearly 400 seats still vacant across IITs after first round of admissions – Times of India , Yogita Rao | TNN | Jul 5, 2017 |
MUMBAI: Almost 400 students who have been allotted seats in the premier IITs in the first round of admissions, have not accepted the seats this year. Despite the increase in the number of seats by 500 this year, the number of vacancies in the IITs after the first round dropped from last year’s 566 to 397 as more students qualified in the entrance test. While a majority of the vacant seats are from larger institutes, including IIT-Kharagpur and IIT-BHU Varanasi, the leading ones like IIT-Bombay, Delhi, Madras and Kanpur have 14-30 seats vacant, which will be filled in the subsequent rounds. The second round of admissions will begin on Wednesday. Of the top 100 rankers in JEE (Advanced) this year, only about 53 have reported to IIT-B in the first round. The numbers have dropped from last year’s 67 top rankers who were allotted seats at the Powai institute. Among the top 36 who have accepted seats at IIT-B, three are girls—they have all opted for computer science and engineering. In all, 90 girls have accepted seats at IIT-B alone in the first round.
