CSAB 2026 Mock Seat Allotment - Allotment Process
- Candidates register and fill/reorder institute-branch preferences on the CSAB portal.
- The mock seat allotment is generated based on current preferences, JEE Main 2026 rank, category, and available seats - this shows candidates their probable allotment.
- Candidates can review the mock result and revise their preference order during the editing window.
- Once satisfied, candidates must lock their final choices by August 5, 2026 (2 PM); choice locking requires OTP verification sent to the registered mobile number and email ID.
- After locking, no further edits are permitted for Round 1.
- CSAB Special Round 1 seat allotment result will be declared on August 6, 2026, based on the final locked preferences, merit rank, category, and seat availability.
- CSAB special rounds process vacant Home State quota seats first; unfilled Home State quota seats convert to Other State quota seats as per standard CSAB rules.
- Candidates who already hold a JoSAA seat and opt into CSAB will retain that JoSAA seat unless a higher-preference option is allotted in CSAB Special Round 1.

CSAB 2026 Mock Seat Allotment: Important Instructions
- Checking the mock allotment is entirely online; CSAB will not send email or SMS reminders about the result release.
- If dissatisfied with the mock result, reorder preferences by comparing them against last year's college-wise closing ranks relative to your CRL/category rank.
- Build a combined preference list covering highly preferred, moderate, and safe institute options.
- If already allotted a desired seat, keep the preference sequence unchanged.
- Do not remove ambitious/dream college choices just because they weren't allotted in the mock round - the final round may still offer them depending on vacancy movement.
- Placing a college higher in the list does not reduce chances of getting a lower-preference seat if higher options remain unavailable.
- Avoid listing any institute/branch you are unwilling to join, since accepting an allotted seat is governed by CSAB rules and may involve forfeiting the seat acceptance fee if declined improperly.
- Do not log in from multiple devices/tabs simultaneously, as this may cause session timeouts and unsaved changes.
- Female candidates should review both Gender-Neutral and Female-Only (supernumerary) seat options, which remain active in CSAB Special Rounds.
- Candidates opting for GFTIs should check institute-specific tuition and hostel fee details on csab.nic.in before final locking.
- Choice locking requires OTP verification; ensure your registered mobile number is active.
- Once locked, choices cannot be edited for Round 1 under any circumstances.
- CSAB counselling is conducted exclusively through csab.nic.in - never share login credentials or OTPs on third-party sites or forums.
