The Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) has announced a postponement of its registration and choice filling process for the CSAB Special Rounds 2026. Students who were preparing to register and fill in their seat preferences must now wait for the revised schedule to be announced on the official CSAB portal.
Why Have CSAB 2026 Dates Been Deferred?
No specific reason has been officially stated for the deferment at this time. However, such postponements in centralised seat allocation processes are typically linked to pending JoSAA counselling rounds, administrative requirements, or policy-level decisions at the level of the Ministry of Education or the Joint Seat Allocation Authority. Candidates should not panic and must continue to monitor official communications.
What Is CSAB Special Round?
CSAB conducts Special Rounds of seat allocation for National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and Other Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) after the regular JoSAA counselling rounds conclude. These rounds are meant to fill seats that remain vacant after the main allocation process and are open to eligible JEE Main qualified candidates.
What Should Candidates Do Now?
- Regularly visit the official CSAB website at csab.nic.in for updated schedule notifications.
- Keep all required documents, JEE Main scorecards, and category certificates ready in advance.
- Do not let the deferment discourage participation — revised dates are expected to be announced shortly.
- Candidates may also follow updates through the official NTA portal at nta.ac.in.
