Purpose of CSAB 2026 Mock Seat Allotment Round

The CSAB counselling mock seat allocation helps candidates see what seat they might get based on their rank and choices before the official rounds start. This allows candidates to change, remove, or add choices to their CSAB 2026 choice list if needed.

The mock seat allocation rounds happen before the final seat allocation rounds begin. Therefore, it is important for candidates to pay attention to the mock seat allocation results and adjust their choices before the final deadline for CSAB 2026 choice filling.

After the mock allocation results are out, candidates will find out which college and course could be the best fit based on their rank. Keep in mind that the actual CSAB seat allocation results may differ from the mock results.
