Hello Aspirant,

The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) 2020 has been set up by the Ministry of Education to manage and regulate the joint seat allocation for admissions to 110 institutes for the academic year 2020-21.

Central Seat Allocation Board(CSAB) formed by the Govt. of India with CBSE and MHRD organized admissions to UG degree programmes in engineering, technology and architecture in respect of selected institutes.

The basic difference is that first, JoSAA completes its JEE Main Counselling process for admissions to IITs, NITs and other participating colleges. Then, CSAB conducts 2 rounds to fill up the vacant seats (if any) of NITs, IIITs and other colleges (this does not include IITs).

Hope this helps

Good Luck
