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

781 Electrical Engineering vacant seats confirmed across NITs and GFTIs going into CSAB 2026 Special Rounds — extracted directly from CSAB's official tentative seat vacancy document.

CSAB 2026 Electrical Engineering Vacant Seats — The Real Numbers

Electrical Engineering carries 781 vacant seats in the official CSAB 2026 tentative vacancy data — the smallest total among the five major branches tracked here, well behind CSE's 3,189 (the highest of any branch), ECE's 2,274, Mechanical's 1,313, and Civil's 1,059.

By institute type, GFTIs hold the majority at 473 seats (61%) and NITs the remainder at 308 (39%) — there is no IIIT contribution, since IIITs generally don't run core electrical engineering programs. GFTIs' 61% share here is the highest proportional GFTI share of any branch on this site, driven by consistently high vacancy at institutes like Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Islamic University of Science and Technology Kashmir, and SLIET Sant Longowal.

Electrical Engineering's small overall total suggests it's a comparatively less oversubscribed branch relative to its sanctioned intake, at least among the NITs and GFTIs that offer it. Remember this is a tentative snapshot, exactly as CSAB itself labels it, and the list updates as SR1 and SR2 progress.

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 Engineering vacant seat data in CSAB 2026 Special Rounds

1
How many Electrical Engineering vacant seats are there in CSAB 2026?
The official CSAB 2026 tentative seat vacancy list shows 781 vacant seats in Electrical Engineering across NITs and GFTIs going into the Special Rounds — the smallest total among the five major branches tracked on this site, behind CSE (3,189), ECE (2,274), Mechanical (1,313), and Civil (1,059). Of these, 473 (61%) are at GFTIs and 308 (39%) at NITs, with no IIIT contribution.
2
Why do GFTIs dominate Electrical Engineering vacant seats?
GFTIs hold 473 of the 781 Electrical vacant seats (61%) — the highest GFTI share of any branch on this site. This is driven by GFTIs like Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Islamic University of Science and Technology Kashmir, and SLIET Sant Longowal, all of which show consistently high vacancy across multiple branches. Electrical Engineering appears to draw comparatively less demand at GFTIs than branches like CSE or Mechanical, leaving a larger proportional share unfilled.
3
Why don't IIITs offer Electrical Engineering seats in CSAB?
Like Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering shows zero IIIT presence in the vacancy data because IIITs are focused on computing, electronics-adjacent, and IT programs rather than core electrical engineering. All 781 vacant seats are split between NITs (308) and GFTIs (473).
4
Which institute has the most Electrical Engineering vacant seats in CSAB 2026?
Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar tops the list with 93 vacant seats, followed by Islamic University of Science and Technology, Kashmir (56) and SLIET Sant Longowal (53). All of the top six institutes are GFTIs, consistent with GFTIs' dominant 61% share of the branch total.
5
Is Electrical Engineering the easiest branch to get a vacant NIT seat in CSAB 2026?
Not necessarily by absolute count — Electrical's 308 NIT vacant seats are the smallest NIT figure among the five branches here, smaller than Civil's 617 or Mechanical's 645. But as a share of Electrical's own smaller total (781), NIT vacancies still represent a meaningful 39%. Compare this to your specific rank using the CSAB college predictor rather than relying on the raw count alone.
6
Is this Electrical Engineering 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 for Electrical Engineering rows. CSAB labels these numbers tentative — candidates may also fill choices not listed, and the list updates as SR1 and SR2 progress. Always verify the live figure on csab.nic.in before finalizing your choices.
