CSAB NEUT-2024 will conduct “two rounds” of seat allotment. The candidates can start registration from 17 to 24 June, choose and prioritize the courses of their choice (choice-filling) online from June 18, and lock their choices by 01 July 2024.  The first round of allotment will be done on 8 July 2024. The second round of seat allotment will happen on 22 July 2024. It is followed by a “spot round”, which will be conducted by the respective “Directorate of Technical Education (DTEs)” of all the participating Northeastern States/UTs.

The commissioner/Secretary urged the Ladakhi candidates and their parents to frequently visit the CSAB-2024 website for updates (https://csab.nic.in). She informed them that they can also download the complete brochure containing the schedule of events, available seats, and related information from https://csab.nic.in/csab-neut/.

To have maximum participation of eligible students with utmost transparency, the Ministry of Education has taken this decision of conducting seat allotment on such seats through a Centralized Seat Allotment Board (CSAB) for North Eastern States and Union Territories (NEUT).

The government of India has entrusted the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK) Surathkal to carry out “Online Counselling” to all the NE states and UTs under the chairmanship of Director, NITK Surathkal. CSAB NEUT-2024 will make an allotment of seats to the candidates based on their JEE (Main)-2024 scores for the first year of Engineering/Technology and Architecture courses. Allotment for pharmacy will be based on the aggregate percentage of marks obtained in class XII.

Reservation of seats for different categories is as per the rules of each state & Union Territories. All candidates with 45% (GEN/EWS/OBC-NCL) or 40% (SC/ST/PwD)in the class XII (or equivalent) examination are eligible to participate in the counseling process. For Architecture, the candidate should have passed the 10+2 examination with at least 50% aggregate marks (https://csab.nic.in).
