What is CSAB 2026?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB)<\/strong>, formerly known as Central Counselling Board (CCB), is constituted by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. It manages centralized UG admissions for Engineering (B.Tech\/B.E.), Architecture (B.Arch), and Planning (B.Plan) programs across the NIT+ System<\/strong> – comprising NITs, IIEST, IIITs, SPAs, and Other-GFTIs – based on JEE Main ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSAB kicks in after JoSAA rounds are completed<\/strong> and fills remaining vacant seats through Special Rounds. Unlike JoSAA, CSAB does not require prior JoSAA participation – a valid JEE Main 2026 rank alone qualifies you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
