Commonly asked questions
Q:   I am an Indian citizen, and I mistakenly added my nationality as a foreigner in the forms. Can I change my nationality in JoSAA portal?
A: 

You can update your nationality in the JoSAA portal from foreign national to Indian. Once the nationality status is changed, you will be eligible for seats in IITs under the GEN category only. If you have already been allocated a seat, it will be cancelled, and you will be considered for seat allocation in subsequent rounds (if any) under the OPEN category, provided you -

  1. submit proof of Indian nationality, and
  2. meet all other eligibility criteria for Indian nationals, including satisfying the JEE (Main) cut-off marks for qualifying for JEE (Advanced) in the GEN category.

If you do not have a valid UDID card indicating permanent disability and are seeking a seat in IITs through JoSAA, you must visit any of the IITs for physical verification, bringing a copy of your PwD certificate (s). If you have a valid UDID card indicating permanent disability, physical verification is not required. However, if the online UDID card verification fails or you are allotted a seat in an academic programme with special restrictions listed on the JoSAA portal, you will need to undergo physical verification, even if you possess a UDID card for a different permanent disability.
