Counselling Process

Eligible candidates are required to register on the CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) portal, which can be accessed at https://csab.nic.in. The process of counselling is as follows:

Step 1:  Registration

  • Visit the CSAB portal at https://csab.nic.in.
  • If you are applying for Engineering/Architecture programs, log in using your JEE (Main)- Roll Number and the password you created during JEE (Main)/JEE(Adv.) registration.
  • Remember to keep your password confidential and not share it with anyone.
  • After logging in, you can proceed with the registration process.
  • Make sure the data you enter matches the information available in the JEE (Main)- database of NTA. This is important for successful registration.
  • If there are any discrepancies, your registration may be cancelled.

Step 2: Filling up the registration form and Uploading Documents: 

During online registration for CSAB counselling, candidates need to provide and verify the following information on the CSAB portal:

  • Gender: Select your gender (male, female, or other).
  • State of Domicile: Mention your permanent residence state.
  • Category: Choose your category (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, etc.).
  • PwD Status: Indicate if you have a disability or fall under the Persons with Disability category.
  • Special Benefit Claim for Manipur: Provide relevant details if you are eligible for special benefits in Manipur.
  • Sub-Tribe Claim for Nagaland: Provide relevant details if you have a sub-tribe claim in Nagaland.
  • PRC/Domicile: If required, provide proof of Permanent Resident Certificate or Domicile. The aggregate percentage of Class XII or equivalent marks: Enter your overall percentage in the Class XII or equivalent examination.

Additionally, candidates need to upload scanned copies (in PDF or JPG format) of the following documents as evidence:

  • Photo ID Proof as per Government of India guidelines
  • JEE(Main)  Admit Card (not applicable for pharmacy candidates)
  • Class X certificate
  • Class XII certificate
  • Domicile certificate
  • Category certificate
  • PwD certificate
  • Special benefit certificate
  • PRC/Domicile certificate (if applicable)

Step 3:  Document verification 

During CSAB counselling, officials verify uploaded documents to determine the eligibility of candidates. The outcomes of document verification are as follows:

  • If the uploaded documents are correct, the candidate's candidature is confirmed, and they proceed with the counselling process.
  • If the uploaded documents are found to be incorrect or inaccurate, the candidate's candidature is marked as "ineligible," and they are disqualified from further participation in the counselling.
  • In case of any discrepancies or doubts regarding the documents, queries are raised by the verifying officials and communicated to the candidates through SMS/email.

Candidates are required to respond to the queries raised by the officials within the given timeframe using their login credentials. It is mandatory to address these queries to ensure a smooth counselling process.

Upon satisfactory resolution of the queries, the candidate's candidacy is confirmed, and they can continue with the counselling process. However, if it is discovered that a candidate has provided incorrect, false, or fraudulent information, their allotted seat (if any) may be cancelled. Additionally, they will be deemed ineligible for admission and may face legal consequences.

Eligible candidates, after successful document verification, can proceed to fill their preferred choices of programs and institutes online through the CSAB portal. It is crucial to provide accurate and genuine information throughout the counselling process to secure a seat in the desired program and institute. make simplified

Step 4: Choice filling and Choice locking

During CSAB counselling, candidates need to fill in their preferred choices of branches and institutes in order of preference. Here is a simplified outline of the procedure:

  • Enable Pop-ups: Candidates should ensure that pop-ups are enabled on their internet browser before starting choice filling.
  • Eligibility and Restrictions: Candidates should check the institute's websites for any special restrictions or criteria. They should only fill in choices for which they are eligible. For example, some seats may not be available for female or PwD candidates. Candidates should not make such choices. Additionally, some colleges are exclusively for girls, and male candidates filling those seats may face consequences.
  • Maximum Choices: Candidates are encouraged to fill in the maximum number of choices in the order of their preference from the available seat choices.

Step 5: Saving and Locking Choices

  • Saving: After filling choices, candidates must SAVE their choices. Saved choices can be retrieved and modified later.
  • Locking: Candidates should LOCK their final choices before the scheduled date and time. Locked choices cannot be edited.
  • Procedure: Locking involves entering the password, confirming the locking, etc. Candidates should follow the steps carefully.
  • Printable Version: Once choices are locked, a printable version with terms and conditions will be displayed.
  • Download and Sign: Candidates must download the PDF of locked choices, sign it, and keep it for their records.

Automatic Locking: If a candidate fails to explicitly lock choices before the deadline, their last saved choices will be automatically locked. It is advised to lock choices personally and keep a printed copy.

JEE Main Rank Predictor

JEE Main is a highly competitive exam, and students anticipate their results with bated breath. However, predicting their ranking based on their performance can be difficult. We have developed JEE Main Rank Predictor, to assist students in predicting their rank. This tool estimates the student's rank based on their Engineering Entrance Exam performance and statistics from the previous year. The predictor is simple to use and delivers an accurate estimate, which might assist students in deciding which universities to apply to.

JEE Advanced Rank Predictor

JEE Advanced is India's most coveted engineering admission exam, and candidates who pass it eagerly anticipate their rank. However, the competition is fierce, and predicting one's rank based on performance can be difficult. Our JEE Advanced Rank Predictor, have been developed to assist students in predicting their rank. The predictor estimates the student's rank based on their exam performance and data from the previous year. Based on their ranking, the predictor can assist students in determining which colleges to apply to.

JEE Main College Predictor

Students are anxious to learn which colleges they can apply to depending on their JEE Main percentile. JEE Main College Predictor, can assist students in predicting which institutions they will be admitted to based on their rank.

Based on their ranking and preferences, the predictor can assist students in narrowing down their college options.

JEE Advanced College Predictor

JEE Advanced is a highly competitive exam, and students who pass it have several alternatives for colleges to pick from. However, deciding which institution to apply to based on their rank and preferences can be difficult. The JEE Advanced College Predictor can assist students to predict which colleges they will be admitted to based on their JEE Advanced percentile. 

Furthermore, JOSAA counsellors are subject matter specialists that can assist students in making the best decisions when picking a college based on their rank and preferences. Together, the predictor and counsellor can assist students in making educated college selection judgements.
