How Many IIT Seats Are Reserved for OBC?- JoSAA announces the IIT Seats in India for the OBC Category on the official website, josaa.nic.in. The IIT Seats for OBC Candidates include the total seats available for OBC candidates across all IITs. Candidates participating in the JoSAA 2026 counselling must be aware of the total seats for the OBC Category. The total seats available for OBC Candidates is 4,289. The JoSAA cutoff for OBC will differ from the general category cutoffs. The seat allotment will be based on the available seats and the candidate's JEE Advanced 2026 result. Candidates can check the total seats available for OBC here.
The JoSAA 2026 Seat matrix will be updated here when released. The institute-wise OBC Seat matrix based on the previous year data is mentioned below.

On Question asked by student community
Hello Student,
Yes your candidature is valid. The primary eligibility criterion here is that JEE Advanced can be taken in two consecutive years, which is satisfied in your case.
Hello Student,
Can you please tell us which year you passed your 12th class? The reason why I am asking this is that JEE Advanced (If you are interested in pursuing a course from IITs) is allowed for two consecutive years. The year of passing your 12th and the next
Hello Student, due to the two-year consecutive attempt rule, you are not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced . You can appear for JEE Main , State-level entrance exams, and entrance exams for private universities.
Hi Nith, admission to IITs is offered based on the score of JEE Advanced entrance exam through the counselling process. Please refer the link to know in details about the eligibility criteria of JEE Advanced https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-advanced-eligibility-criteria
Hello, to prepare for JEE Advanced 2027, start with a proper study plan, focus on NCERT concepts, practise previous year questions regularly, and revise topics consistently. It is important to build strong concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, along with regular mock tests and time management practice.
