Greetings Nandini!

Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) will conduct admission through JEE Main 2019 to participating NITs, IIITs and CFTIs. Candidates will be required to register through three channels of CSAB 2019 which are NUET (for North-Eastern States and Union Territories), SFTI (Self Financed Technical Institutes) and UT (Supernumerary Seats for Union Territories). It is important that candidates first check the complete eligibility criteria of all the channels and then only proceed to fill the application form of CSAB 2019 through the respective channel.

Those candidates who will register for CSAB will have to fill their choice of colleges and courses in the order of their preference. The seat allotment of CSAB 2019 will be done on candidates’ JEE Main merit, choice filling and seat availability.

They must also take a print out of their locked choices for future reference.
