The NEUT (North East and Union Territories)counselling by CSAB(Central Seat Allocation Board) commenced today, July 22, 2014 and the process of allotment would involve two rounds of seat allotment spread over about a fortnight.

Aspirants who are allotted seats would be required to deposit demand draft (DD) of Rs. 2000/- along with verification of documents at the office of Director of Technical Education of his/her state/UT as refundable security. This amount would be refunded to those candidates who join the allotted college. For others, who don’t join on the allotted seat, this amount would be forfeited. Entire fee of the college is to be directly deposited by the candidate at the allotted college.

To facilitate counselling process, and clarifications, Reporting cum Help Centres have been set up in all the 12 participating states/UTs. Candidates are advised to approach the Reporting cum Help Centres of their respective State/UT.

The allotment procedure basically involves following stages:

• Online registration
• Online choice filling, saving and locking
• Seat Allotment
• Personal reporting to a Reporting Center with documents and Demand Draft for security deposit to be drawn in favor of ‘CSAB-MNIT Jaipur’.
• Personal reporting to the allotted institutes for final admission

Pre-allotment steps

• All eligible candidates will register, fill their choices, save them online on www.csab.nic.in/neut2014
• All candidates must verify their personal information during online registration.
• During this period, the candidates are free to change, reorder, delete and add to their  choices of branches/institutes as per their preference. Set of saved choices will be available for next session.
• Once locked, candidates will not be able to unlock or change their choices.
• If a candidate fails to explicitly lock his/her choices by the stipulated time, his/her last  saved choices will be automatically locked after this deadline. Candidates are therefore strongly advised to lock their choices themselves.
• Candidates must take printout of their locked choices. This printout, which will  consist of the terms and conditions as agreed by the candidates, has to be signed and submitted at the time of reporting at Reporting Centre.
• A registered candidate, who did not fill any choice and/or fail to save them in the first  round, will not be considered for seat allotment and admission in second round.
• If the information submitted by any candidate is found to be fraudulent, incorrect or untrue,  the seat allotted (if any) is liable to be cancelled. Moreover, such candidates will no longer be considered eligible for admission and will also be liable for legal action.

Seat Allotment and reporting to Reporting Center for Round 1 & 2

• The first round of seat allotment will be displayed on www.csab.nic.in/neut2014. Individual allotment letters will not be sent to the candidates.
