Commonly asked questions
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:   When will CSAB counselling start?
A: 

The CSAB special counselling started on July 28.

Q:   Is it mandatory to apply for CSAB counselling?
A: 

It is not mandatory to appear for CSAB counselling. Candidates who already got seats in JoSAA counselling or in any state engineering colleges are not required to appear for CSAB counselling. The authorities conduct CSAB counselling for the left over seats after JoSAA counselling.  

Q:   What is CSAB Supernumerary counselling all about?
A: 

The Supernumerary round of CSAB counselling is held for admission to supernumerary seats at:

  1. NIT Calicut
  2. NIT Durgapur
  3. SVNIT Surat

Candidates from the Union Territories of Andaman & Nicobar, Lakshadweep, Daman & Diu, and Dadra & Nagar Haveli are allowed to participate in the CSAB 2025 Supernumerary round.
