CSAB 2026 Electrical and Electronics Engineering Vacant Seats: Real Data by NIT/IIIT/GFTI

384 EEE vacant seats confirmed across NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs going into CSAB 2026 Special Rounds — extracted directly from CSAB's official tentative seat vacancy document.

EEE Vacant Seats — The Real Numbers

CSAB publishes a "Tentative Seat Vacancy" document ahead of each Special Round, listing every institute-program-quota-category combination that has at least one unfilled seat. We filtered and aggregated every Electrical and Electronics Engineering row from the official 2026 document — summed by institute type and by institute — to give a genuine, numbers-first picture of where EEE seats are actually going unfilled.

The headline number is 384 vacant seats across every quota, category, and seat pool combined. NITs account for the largest share at 200 seats (52%), followed closely by GFTIs at 171 (45%), while IIITs contribute just 13 seats (3%). That IIIT figure is small mainly because EEE as a distinct branch is offered at only a handful of IIITs — most IIITs run ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering) instead, so the IIIT contribution to this particular branch's vacant pool stays minimal in absolute terms.

Remember: this is a tentative snapshot, exactly as CSAB itself labels it. The document explicitly notes that "candidates may also fill those choices which are not listed in this table" — meaning zero-vacancy rows aren't necessarily permanently closed, and the list updates as SR1 and SR2 progress. Use it to calibrate realistic expectations, then verify the live figure on csab.nic.in before locking your final choice list.

How to Use This Data

  • This is a tentative snapshot, not a live feed — CSAB updates the vacancy list as SR1 and SR2 progress.
  • Absence from the list doesn't mean zero vacancy — CSAB's own document says candidates may still fill choices not listed.
  • Use vacancy to calibrate expectations, not as a guaranteed cutoff predictor — always run your rank through the CSAB college predictor for a personalized estimate.
  • Cross-check the live number on csab.nic.in before finalizing your choice list — figures shift as candidates report, float, or withdraw.

Common questions about Electrical and Electronics Engineering vacant seat data in CSAB 2026 Special Rounds

1
How many EEE vacant seats are there in CSAB 2026?
The official CSAB 2026 tentative seat vacancy list shows 384 Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) vacant seats going into the Special Rounds. This breaks down to 200 seats at NITs (52%), 171 at GFTIs (45%), and just 13 at IIITs (3%). This is a tentative, point-in-time snapshot published by CSAB — the actual number shifts slightly as SR1 and SR2 progress and candidates report, float, or withdraw.
2
Which institute type has the most EEE vacant seats?
NITs lead with 200 vacant EEE seats (52% of the total), narrowly ahead of GFTIs at 171 (45%). IIITs contribute only 13 seats (3%) — EEE is offered at very few IIITs, which explains the small absolute number even though the fill rate there may be comparable to other branches. The near-even NIT/GFTI split contrasts with branches like CSE, where GFTIs and IIITs typically dominate the vacant pool.
3
Which institute has the most EEE vacant seats?
Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi tops the list with 71 vacant EEE seats, followed by BIT Patna Off-Campus (45), NIT Calicut (32), BIT Deoghar Off-Campus (31), NIT Karnataka Surathkal (25), and NIT Warangal (23). Three of the top four spots are GFTIs, but strong NITs like Calicut, Surathkal, and Warangal still show double-digit vacancies, reflecting EEE's slightly narrower applicant pool compared to core CSE or ECE.
4
Should I expect a relaxed cutoff for EEE in CSAB Special Rounds?
A vacant pool of 384 seats — spread across roughly 200 NIT seats and 171 GFTI seats — suggests EEE draws somewhat less demand than flagship branches like CSE or ECE at the same institutes. That said, vacancy figures alone don't guarantee a specific closing rank; a well-known NIT's EEE program can still close competitively even with a handful of vacant seats elsewhere. Use this data to calibrate expectations, not as a direct cutoff predictor.
5
Is this EEE vacant seats data official and current?
Yes — this page is built directly from CSAB's own official "Tentative Seat Vacancy for CSAB Special Rounds 2026" document, filtered specifically to Electrical and Electronics Engineering program rows. CSAB explicitly states vacant seats listed are tentative and candidates may also fill choices not listed in that table. Because CSAB updates this list as the Special Rounds progress (SR1 vs SR2 vacancy differs), always cross-check the live figure on csab.nic.in before finalizing your choice list.
6
Why do so few IIITs show EEE vacant seats?
IIITs contribute just 13 of the 384 total EEE vacant seats (3%) because Electrical and Electronics Engineering as a distinct branch is offered at only a handful of IIITs — most IIITs focus their electrical-adjacent offerings on Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) instead. With such a small sanctioned intake to begin with, even a near-complete fill still leaves the IIIT contribution to the vacant pool minimal in absolute terms.
