JEE Main College Predictor 2025 – CSAB Special Round Reference

Historical CSAB 2025 closing rank patterns, used as a reference point for CSAB 2026 planning

CSAB 2025 as a Reference Point

CSAB 2025 Special Round filled vacant seats at NITs, IIITs and GFTIs left over after JoSAA 2025 concluded. Looking back at that round's closing ranks is useful for understanding the typical gap between JoSAA's final round and CSAB's Special Round cutoffs — a gap that tends to recur each year, including in 2026.

As of October 2026, CSAB 2026 Special Round has already concluded (SR1 result on August 6, 2026 and SR2 result on August 12, 2026), so this 2025 reference is purely for historical and comparative context rather than live prediction.

Use the 2026 Tools for Current Data

For the most relevant information, head to our JEE Main College Predictor – CSAB 2026 page, which reflects the concluded 2026 Special Round patterns. For JoSAA's main rounds, see the JoSAA 2026 predictor.

Frequently Asked Questions – CSAB 2025 Reference Data

Common questions about using CSAB 2025 data for 2026 planning

1
Why look at CSAB 2025 data if CSAB 2026 has already happened?
CSAB 2026 Special Round concluded in August 2026 with its own closing ranks. Looking at the 2025 data is still useful as a historical reference point to understand how CSAB cutoffs typically move year over year, and to sanity-check 2026 figures against the broader trend.
2
How different are CSAB 2025 and CSAB 2026 closing ranks likely to be?
Closing ranks shift modestly year to year based on total applicants, seat matrix changes (new institutes or added capacity), and withdrawal patterns. A rank close to the previous year's closing rank for a given institute-branch is usually a reasonable, though not guaranteed, predictor of eligibility.
3
Does CSAB include IIT seats?
No. CSAB Special Round only allocates seats at NITs, IIITs and GFTIs for vacancies remaining after JoSAA's main rounds conclude. IIT admissions are handled exclusively through JoSAA.
4
Where can I find the actual CSAB 2026 closing ranks?
The official CSAB 2026 Special Round results (SR1 and SR2) are published on csab.nic.in. Use our predictor tool for an organized, searchable view of institute-branch-category closing ranks.
5
Should I rely only on last year's CSAB data to decide my 2026 choices?
No — treat prior-year data as a directional guide only. Combine it with your actual JEE Main 2026 rank and run it through our updated college predictor tool for the most relevant estimate.
