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
You can attempt the JEE Advanced exam maximum of two times in two consecutive years. This rule also applies if you did not take the exam in the year you completed your 12th grade. If you skip the first attempt in your 12th grade year, you can only appear for the exam once, in the following year (your drop year).
Yes, JEE Advanced paper is also available in Hindi medium. When you fill the form, you will get the option to choose your language preference like English, Hindi or other regional languages allowed by NTA. If you choose Hindi, then in the exam hall you will get the paper in Hindi medium.
Website: https://jeeadv.ac.in
You can easily download IIT JEE 2025 papers in Hindi. For JEE Main, websites like Careers360 give shift-wise question papers with answers in Hindi. For JEE Advanced, you can get both Paper 1 and 2 in Hindi from the official site jeeadv.ac.in (https://jeeadv.ac.in/)
Hello Alka
For JEE Advance, the best 5 subjects through which you need to calculate your percentage is:
1. Physics
2. Chemistry
3. Mathematics
4. One language (which is English)
5. One other subject of your choice
So you will need to choose PCM + English + a 5th subject to calculate your percentage.
Hope this answer helps! Thank You!!!
Hello!
In JEE Advanced eligibility, the top 5 subjects from your board exam are considered. Usually, they are Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and any two other subjects from the main curriculum. If CMS is your optional subject and IT is an additional subject, the board will still calculate based on the 5 highest marks from your eligible subjects. Additional subjects are considered only if they replace a lower score from another subject. For example, if IT has a higher score than English or CMS, then IT can be counted. However, some boards follow strict rules where only main subjects are counted, so you must verify with your board’s official notification. The 75% criteria means your average percentage in those best 5 subjects must meet the requirement. My advice—list all your subjects, arrange them from highest to lowest marks, and take the top five as per rules.
Hope this clears your doubt!
