Hello,

Yes, IIITs do consider the category rank of JEE Mains for admission. The seat allocation process takes into account the candidate's JEE Mains rank, category, and the availability of seats in the desired course at a particular IIIT. Once a seat is allocated based on these factors, candidates are required to accept the seat by paying the seat acceptance fee and completing the online reporting process. This ensures that candidates are admitted to IIITs according to their category rank and availability of seats in their preferred courses.

Hope this helps,

Thank you
