1 INTRODUCTION
The Ministry of Education (erstwhile Ministry of Human Resource Development), Government
of India took a policy decision in 2002 to conduct an All India Engineering Entrance
Examination (AIEEE) annually, doing away with many of the large number of entrance
examinations that were being conducted till then by various institutes in the country for
admission to undergraduate degree programmes in the disciplines of Engineering/Technology
and Architecture/Planning. This initiative has been widely accepted and appreciated.
A Central Counselling Board (CCB) constituted by the Govt. of India coordinated admissions
to UG degree programmes in Engineering, Technology and Architecture for selected institutes
till 2012. From 2013 onwards, CCB and AIEEE have been renamed as Central Seat Allocation
Board (CSAB) and JEE (Main) respectively.
By the order of the Ministry of Education, joint counselling for IITs/NITs/IIITs/GFTIs started
from academic session 2015-16 and Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) was created to
execute the joint counselling. IITs-JAB (Joint Admission Board) and NITs-CSAB with JoSAA-
2021 will admit candidates in the first year of Engineering/Technology and
Architecture/Planning Programs of 23 IITs, 31 NITs, IIEST Shibpur, 26 IIITs, and 33 other
Government Funded Institutes (GFTIs) (list displayed on website https://josaa.nic.in) on the
basis of their rank in JEE(Advance) for IITs/JEE (Main) for NIT+System and category, through
a centralized seat allocation procedure, for the academic session 2021-22.
The CSAB for 2021 has been constituted with Director, Malaviya National Institute of
Technology Jaipur, Rajasthan as it’s Chairperson as per the Office Memorandum of Ministry
of HRD, Govt. of India vide letter No. F-37-1/2021-TS.III dated 9th April 2021.
Apart from JoSAA-2021 counseling process, CSAB-2021 is also responsible for conducting
centralized seat allocation process for the following:
1. CSAB-special round for admissions [based on JEE (main) rank and category] to the first year
of Engineering/Technology and Architecture/Planning Programs of NIT+ system for vacant
seats left over after JoSAA-2021 rounds (1-6),
2. Supernumerary round of counselling in certain NITs (NIT Durgapur, NIT Calicut, SVNIT
Surat) for candidates with state of eligibility as Union Territories of Dadra & Nagar Haveli,
Daman & Diu, Lakshadweep & Kandvi and Andaman & Nicobar Islands and
3. Admission in AICTE approved Institutes for candidates belonging to north east and union
territories through CSAB-NEUT-2021.
