CSAB College Predictor 2026

CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) 2026 is the counselling process conducted after JoSAA's 5 main rounds to fill seats that remain vacant at NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. JoSAA Round 5 concluded on July 16, 2026, and CSAB 2026 registration and vacancy display opened July 28, 2026 and closed August 3, 2026. The SR1 result was declared August 6, 2026, and the SR2 result was declared August 12, 2026, completing CSAB 2026 counselling.

A CSAB College Predictor uses your JEE Main 2026 rank, category (General/OBC-NCL/SC/ST/EWS), and gender to estimate which NIT, IIIT, or GFTI programs you are likely to receive in CSAB's special rounds. The predictions are based on previous year CSAB seat allotment data and closing ranks.

Unlike JoSAA which covers 135+ institutes including IITs, CSAB covers 31 NITs, 25 IIITs, and 33 GFTIs. IITs do not participate in CSAB. Seats available in CSAB are generally those that were not filled across all 5 JoSAA rounds — meaning they often include newer institutes, less-preferred branches, or seats reserved for special category candidates.

CSAB also runs a dedicated NEUT round (North East states and Union Territory candidates) and a DASA round for NRI/foreign students — both with separate eligibility conditions and seat pools.
