Commonly asked questions
Q:   Can I get B.Tech in Mechanical through JOSAA or CSAB in lower NITs?
A: 

Yes, it is possible to get a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering through JOSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) or CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) in lower NITs (National Institutes of Technology). JOSAA handles the initial seat allocation for IITs, NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and other GFTIs based on JEE Main ranks. If there are any vacant seats remaining after the JoSAA rounds, CSAB conducts special rounds to fill those, also based on JEE Main scores. 

Q:   Which rank is shown on the CSAB portal for EWS category: CRL rank or category rank?
A: 

The CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) portal typically displays the category rank for the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category. This rank is specific to the EWS candidates and helps determine seat allocation during counseling and admissions. 

CRL refers to Common Rank List (CRL). CRL is the merit list that consists of all the ranks of students who appeared for JEE Mains exam. JEE Main CRL includes name of the candidates along with their caste, gender, JEE Main all India rank and category-wise rank.

CSAB Cutoff FAQs

Check some of the FAQs on CSAB counselling cutoff below.

Q&A Icon
Commonly asked questions
Q:   What will happen to the seat I've allocated in JoSAA if I participate in CSAB. Will we have to withdraw from JoSAA and re-admit in csab?
A: 

No. You don't need to surrender the seat allotted in JoSAA round. While participating in Special Round, the seat allotted in JoSAA round will remain safe if you don't get a seat in Special Round and will be forfeited if you are allotted a seat in the Special Round.

Q:   I have 42300 rank in JEE Mains. I have not deposited CSAB fees. Can I still participate in the counselling?
A: 

Yes, you can.

Acceptance of seat in  JOSSA round has nothing to do with CSAB round. You can surely sit in CSAB special round.

Last year my brother got NIT jalandhar EEE in 7th round. Then he went to NIT jalandhar for paying initial fees and giving documents.

Then he sat in CSAB special rounds and got NIT delhi ECE in round 2.

Hence, he accepted the seat and his fees in NIT jalandhar was transferred to NIT delhi along with other documents.

Q:   In the special round in CSAB, will they take students according to CRL rank or category rank for NIT and IIIT?
A: 
In CSAB rounds, you will be given NIT/IIIT according to your category rank if applicable, or else, General.

A: 

Yes, Central Seat Allocation Board provided reservation to reserved category candidates as pe the rules. Applicants applying for CSAB counselling with reservation must upload required documents at registration. It is necessary to upload certificate/required document to avail the reservation at the time of admission. Any candidate who fails to produce the reservation documents at the time of admission will be considered for general merit seats.  

Q:   If the candidate has physically reported at the allotted institute then will she/he be permitted to withdraw from CSAB counselling?
A: 

No, if the candidate has physically reported at the allotted institute, then withdrawal is not permitted from the CSAB account.
