Hi.

Allow me to explain the process, when a student accepts seat in JOSAA Counselling he/she has to pay Rs.15000 (for SC student) and then accept the seat through process mentioned.

This Rs. 15000 will be compensated in the first year semester fees, provided there are no illegal documentation involved and seat is not cancelled.

But if the student wishes to participate in CSAB Round WHILE RETAINING their JOSAA seat they are allowed to keep their original seat. During CSAB, your seat will only be upgraded and will not be forfeited. To participate in CSAB rounds you need to pay some amount of money again assume it is Rs. 10000 (assuming because as of now CSAB has not announced the official rule set for 2021 session) and you get a new seat within the same college or any other college as per your preference. Now you have paid 15000 (JOSAA) + 10000(CSAB) = 25000 this amount will be adjusted in your first semester fees and you will be required to only pay the remaining.

Good Luck
