On Behalf of NIT Rourkela, We Extend Our Sincere Greetings!
Heartfelt congratulations to all the outstanding achievers of JEE (Main) 2025 and JEE (Advanced) 2025! Your unwavering dedication, perseverance, and diligence have led to this remarkable accomplishment, and we take immense pride in celebrating your success.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the parents, guardians, and educators whose steadfast support and guidance have played a pivotal role in this journey. Conquering one of the nation’s most challenging entrance examinations is a testament to your collective hard work and commitment.
It is our privilege to announce that the Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India, has entrusted NIT Rourkela with the responsibility of conducting the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB 2025) and the Direct Admission of Students Abroad (DASA 2025). In collaboration with JoSAA 2025, CSAB 2025 will oversee the joint seat allocation process for admissions to prestigious undergraduate programs. Upon completion of JoSAA 2025 rounds, if any seat remains vacant in the NIT+ System, CSAB shall conduct three Special Rounds called CSAB-Special 2025. CSAB 2025 has also the responsibility of conducting CSAB Supernumerary round for admission to supernumerary seats in selected NITs for the candidates of some of the UTs. In addition, CSAB 2025 also conducts CSAB NEUT rounds to allocate seats of AICTE approved institutes under the scheme of “Reservation of seats in Degree Level Technical Courses for States / UTs lacking such facilities in the AICTE-approved institutions” to candidates of the North-Eastern states and Union Territories. Eligible candidates who have qualified JEE (Main) 2025 can participate in the seat allocation process via the official websites (https://csab.nic.in and https://josaa.nic.in)
For DASA, a candidate-friendly approach has been adopted by merging the DASA UG and CSAB-Special registration and Fee payment into a single window. Eligible candidates who have qualified JEE (Main) 2025 can participate in the DASA seat allocation process via the websites (https://dasanit.org and https://csab.nic.in). DASA PG candidates across the world are also invited for admission to master programs in some of the prestigious institutes (https://dasanit.org).
Comprehensive guidelines are available, detailing each step of the process, including registration, document verification, preference selection, counselling schedules, and seat allotment. The DASA/CSAB 2025 team will provide continuous guidance and support through each round of seat allocation, with dedicated help centres and a multilingual tele-help desk to assist candidates.
We sincerely hope that every student secures admission to their desired institute and program through this process. Admission to first-year programs in Engineering, Science, Architecture, and Planning will be based on JEE rankings and the eligibility criteria specified in the Business Rules. To ensure well-informed decision-making, candidates are strongly encouraged to thoroughly review the Business Rules/information brochure, adhere to key deadlines, and stay updated through the official CSAB website (https://csab.nic.in).
We urge parents and guardians to actively participate and provide guidance during critical decision-making stages, such as choice-filling and seat acceptance. Your support will enable candidates to navigate this process with confidence and ease.
Wishing all aspirants the very best as they embark on this significant step toward their academic and professional aspirations.

Chairman, DASA/CSAB 2025 and Director, NIT Rourkela
