By order of the Ministry of Education vide Office Memorandum F-37-1/2021-TS.III dated 24-March-2022, the CSAB-2022 shall conduct CSAB-NEUT rounds through its online portal (https://csab.nic.in) to allocate seats under the scheme mentioned above to candidates of North-Eastern states and Union Territories. The Business Rules of CSAB-NEUT are available on the CSAB website (https://csab.nic.in). The details of vacant seats under various reservation categories in various participating institutes will be available after the JoSAA-2022 and just before the start of CSAB-NEUT registration. The eligibility criteria and the process of registration, choice filling, choice locking, seat allotment, payment of fees, etc., are different from those of JoSAA/CSAB rounds. The candidates are advised to carefully go through the Business Rules and Process Flow of the CSAB-NEUT rounds available on the CSAB website.
