INTRODUCTION
Two Special Rounds of seat allocation are organized by the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) to allocate the unfilled seats of the NIT+ System after the 5th JoSAA Round. The CSAB-Special Rounds will be conducted by NITK Surathkal through the online portal of CSAB (https://csab.nic.in). The Business Rules of CSAB-Special Rounds can be seen on the CSAB website. The details of vacant seats in various Participating Institutes will be available after the end of the JoSAA-2024 Rounds and just before the start of Registration for CSAB-Special Rounds. Candidates desirous of participating in the CSAB-Special Rounds are required to do a fresh registration. The process of Registration, Choice Filling, Choice Locking, Seat Allotment, Payment of fees, etc., are different from those of JoSAA rounds. The candidates are advised to carefully go through the Business Rules and Process Flow of the CSAB-Special Rounds available on the CSAB website.
It is mandatory to pay the Seat Acceptance/Institute Admission Fee-II for whoever is eligible. Failure to pay the Seat Acceptance/Institute Admission Fee-II Payment by the deadline will lead to cancellation of the provisionally allotted seat.
The ‘Tentative Seat Vacancy Matrix’ published is indicative. Additional vacancies will be created as and when the candidates who already got the seats during JoSAA rounds in the NIT+ System move to their better choices during the CSAB Special Round Counselling (if they register for CSAB Special Round counselling).
