CSAB College Predictor for IIIT

Find your best IIIT option through CSAB 2026 — 25 government IIITs with CS-focused programs

IIITs in CSAB 2026 – Overview

India has 25 government IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology) that participate in JoSAA and CSAB counselling. These institutes specialize in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, and related disciplines. Most are established under the PPP model with collaboration between Central government, state governments, and industry partners.

In CSAB 2026, IIITs typically available are those whose seats were not fully absorbed across JoSAA's 5 rounds. This is more common for IIITs in less metro-connected states or those with newer campuses. However, even older IIITs like IIIT Kancheepuram and IIIT Vadodara regularly appear in CSAB.

For candidates targeting a CS/IT degree with a government institute tag at affordable fees, IIITs in CSAB 2026 are among the best options — especially compared to private engineering colleges with similar placement outcomes but much higher fees.

Frequently Asked Questions – CSAB IIIT Predictor

Common questions about IIITs in CSAB 2026

1
Which IIITs are available in CSAB 2026?
CSAB 2026 includes approximately 25 government IIITs — those established under the PPP (Public-Private Partnership) model with state government funding. These include IIIT Kancheepuram, IIIT Vadodara, IIIT Sri City, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Una, IIIT Lucknow, IIIT Guwahati, IIIT Kota, IIIT Kurnool, IIIT Tiruchirappalli, IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Pune, IIIT Ranchi, IIIT Surat, and others. Triple IIITs (Hyderabad, Allahabad, Bangalore) are usually filled in JoSAA.
2
Are government IIITs a good choice in CSAB 2026?
Yes. Government IIITs (especially PPP-model ones) offer CS/IT-focused education at relatively low fees (₹1–2.5 lakh/year). Faculty is research-oriented, curriculum is CS-heavy, and placement records are improving every year. IIIT Kancheepuram, IIIT Vadodara, and IIIT Sri City have placed students at Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. For pure CS aspirants, a government IIIT is often better than a lower-tier NIT.
3
What rank do I need for IIIT Kancheepuram CSE through CSAB?
IIIT Kancheepuram CSE closed around rank 20,000–25,000 in CSAB 2025 for general (other state) category. IT (Information Technology) branch closed around 28,000–35,000. OBC-NCL candidates with category rank below 50,000–60,000 have a good chance. Use our predictor for exact estimates based on your category.
4
Is there a difference between PPP-model IIITs and central government IIITs?
Yes. Central government IIITs (the triple IIITs: Hyderabad, Allahabad, Bangalore, Gwalior, Jabalpur) are fully funded by the Central government and have higher fees but better rankings. PPP-model IIITs are co-funded by the Central government, state governments, and industry partners — lower fees but variable quality. CSAB mostly covers PPP-model IIITs as the central IIITs fill seats in JoSAA.
5
How many IIIT seats are available in CSAB 2026?
Exact numbers depended on how many IIIT seats went unfilled after JoSAA 2026's 5 rounds concluded. In CSAB 2025, approximately 2,000–3,500 IIIT seats across 20+ IIITs were available; CSAB 2026's official seat matrix (published on csab.nic.in ahead of the special rounds) is the accurate reference for this cycle. This includes both CSE and non-CSE programs (IT, ECE, Mathematics & Computing, Data Science).
