The Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) has commenced the CSAB Special Round Counselling 2025 process to fill vacant seats in prominent technical institutions across the country, such as NITs, IIITs, IIEST, SPAs, and GFTIs. The last date for registration is set for August 3, 2025. Students who did not secure a seat or who relinquished their seat after JoSAA counselling can take advantage of this opportunity.
