How to Check CSAB 2026 Mock Seat Allotment Result

• Visit the official CSAB website — csab.nic.in
• Click on the “Mock Seat Allotment” link for CSAB Special Round 2026
• Log in using your JEE Main 2026 Application Number and Password
• View your mock-allotted institute and programme on screen
• Save/screenshot the page for your reference — this is not an official document you need to download and carry anywhere
• Compare this against your locked preference list and last year’s opening/closing rank data before deciding whether to reorder choices

Important: CSAB will not remind candidates about the mock allotment release via email or SMS — you must proactively check the portal yourself.

Why the Mock Allotment Matters — What It Is (and Isn’t)

• The mock allotment gives candidates an early, indicative idea of which college and branch they might realistically secure, based on their current choice order, JEE Main CRL rank, and the vacant seats available
• It is NOT the final or official seat allotment — the actual CSAB Special Round 1 result, declared on 6 August 2026, can differ from what the mock shows, since more candidates may register, edit choices, or additional seats may become available before the final round
• If you’re dissatisfied with your mock allotment, you should reorder your preferences before the choice-editing window closes on 5 August 2026 — compare your rank against last year’s (2025) college-wise opening and closing ranks to make more informed adjustments
• Enter a combined, realistic choice list spanning highly preferred colleges, moderately achievable options, and safer backup choices — rather than only listing your top aspirational picks

Important: Choices Filled During JoSAA Do NOT Carry Over

• Previously filled choices during JoSAA counselling are treated as null and void and are not considered for CSAB Special Rounds
• Candidates must fill an entirely fresh set of choices through the CSAB portal after completing registration and Special Round Enrolment Fee (SREF) payment
• This is a critical distinction many candidates overlook — simply having registered or participated in JoSAA does not automatically carry any preference data into CSAB Special Rounds

Fee Structure — SREF & IAF

• There is no separate registration fee to register for CSAB Special Round counselling itself
• Candidates must pay the Special Round Enrolment Fee (SREF) during registration, which includes Institute Admission Fee-I (IAF-I) plus a Special Round Processing Fee of ₹5,000
• An additional Institute Admission Fee-II (IAF-II) is charged later, after seat allotment is confirmed
• Payment Modes: Net Banking, Debit Card, Credit Card, or UPI
• Exact category-wise fee amounts (General/OBC/SC/ST/EWS/PwD) are detailed in the official CSAB Special Round schedule — refer to csab.nic.in for the precise breakup

Complete CSAB Special Round Process — Step-by-Step

• Step 1 — Registration: Register on the CSAB portal using JEE Main 2026 credentials
• Step 2 — SREF Payment: Pay the Special Round Enrolment Fee to activate your candidature
• Step 3 — Fresh Choice Filling & Locking: Select and arrange your preferred institutes/programmes — remember, JoSAA choices don’t carry over
• Step 4 — Mock Seat Allotment: Review your indicative allotment (today’s update) and adjust choices if needed, before the 5 August 2026 editing deadline
• Step 5 — Round 1 Seat Allotment: Actual, official allotment declared on 6 August 2026, along with cutoff ranks
• Step 6 — Document Verification & Query Resolution: Candidates must respond to and resolve any queries raised during verification — failure to resolve queries results in seat cancellation, and the candidate becomes ineligible for admission through CSAB Special Rounds entirely
• Step 7 — IAF-II Payment: Pay the balance Institute Admission Fee after your seat is confirmed
• Step 8 — Subsequent Rounds: Participate in Round 2 (and further rounds, if conducted) if you wish to try for a better allotment or remain unallotted

CSAB vs JoSAA Cutoffs — What to Expect

• CSAB cutoffs are generally less competitive (i.e., higher/wider rank numbers) compared to the corresponding JoSAA cutoffs for the same institute and branch, since CSAB Special Rounds fill genuinely leftover, vacant seats after the main JoSAA process concludes
• This means candidates whose JEE Main rank didn’t secure a seat through JoSAA may still have a realistic shot at a similar-tier NIT/IIIT/GFTI branch through CSAB, particularly in the Home State quota
• Always cross-check last year’s (2025) opening and closing ranks for your specific target branches on csab.nic.in before finalizing your choice order for the actual Round 1

Tips for Using the Mock Allotment Effectively

• Don’t panic if your mock allotment shows a lower-preference branch — it only reflects choices as of 30 July, 5 PM, and more seats/candidates can shift the picture before the actual round
• Use the mock result specifically to identify whether your choice order needs reshuffling, not as a guaranteed preview of your final outcome
• Keep refining your list right up to the 5 August 2026 editing deadline — don’t finalize hastily right after seeing just the mock result
• Cross-reference the 2,211 Home State NIT vacant seats (and the broader IIIT/GFTI/Other-State seat matrix) against your rank to gauge realistic options rather than relying on assumptions
• Complete your SREF payment and registration well before the 3 August, 10:00 AM deadline — don’t leave payment to the last hour given potential portal traffic
