Important Dates and Key Information for JEE Main Counselling 2025

Are you looking for the key to unlocking top engineering colleges in India? Appearing for JEE Main 2025 is just the beginning. The real game begins with JEE Main Counselling, where you can get admission to some of the most prestigious engineering colleges in the country. In this article, we will provide all the information you need about JEE Main Counselling, including JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) and CSAB ( Central Seat Allocation Board) Counselling. You can get all the information on JEE Mains counselling important dates, the registration process, and how counselling is conducted from this page.

The JEE Main 2025 Counselling schedule is yet to be announced. However, JoSAA Counselling is expected to be held on June 10, 2025, tentatively at josaa.nic.in. JoSAA is the primary platform for allocating seats to all participating institutions, including the prestigious IITs. CSAB is a secondary option that provides an opportunity to fill the remaining seats in specific institutions after JoSAA is complete. Hence CSAB Counselling will start after the JoSAA Counselling. The exact dates will be notified by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA), responsible for conducting the counselling process.

It is important to note that the counselling dates may vary for candidates appearing in different sessions of the JEE Main exam. Therefore, it is crucial to keep track of the JEE Main 2025 Counselling schedule based on your exam session.

What is the Difference Between JoSAA and CSAB Counselling?

JoSAA and CSAB are both important entities involved in the seat allocation process for engineering and other technical courses in India after the JEE Main Exam, but they cater to different stages and institutions:

JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) Counselling

Conducts six rounds of seat allocation for IITs, NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, and other participating institutions.
Eligible candidates must have qualified in JEE Main and JEE Advanced.
Offers various branches and specialisations within these institutions.
Once JoSAA completes its rounds, vacant seats in some NITs, IIITs, and other institutions may arise.

CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) Counselling

Conducts two special rounds of seat allocation only for NITs, IIITs, and other participating institutions (excluding IITs).
These rounds are specifically for filling the vacant seats remaining after JoSAA's completion.
Eligible candidates include:

Those who did not participate in JoSAA counselling.
Those who participated in JoSAA but did not get a seat or want to upgrade their seat.

Offers the same branches and specializations as available in the CSAB institutes during JoSAA.

Here's a Table Summarizing the Key Differences:

Feature	JoSAA	CSAB
Rounds of allocation	Six	Two
