CSAB Extended deadline to fill more seats in IIITs and NITs:
Central Counseling Board (CCB) of India coordinated admissions for UG degree courses in Technology, Architecture, Engineering, etc in respect of selected institutes till 2012. Later on 2013, Central Counseling Board (CCB) and All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE) have been renamed as Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) and JEE (mains) respectively. CSAB for 2015 has been constituted with Director, National Institute of Technology, Patna, as its Chairman.
News on August 2015:
Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) has extended the deadline to fill up the vacant seats till August 17 2015 to give a fair chance to the meritorious people in the institutions like NITs, IIITs and Government funded colleges. This extension of deadline will provide fair chance to meritorious people to take admission in the additional special round and will also help to fill up the remaining vacant seats in NITs and IITs.
These seats will be given for the candidates who do not have seat in the joint allocation process. Those students who have JEE (Main) marks and without seats are also eligible for granted seats. This news has come when 3000 seats are still vacant after the fourth round of seat allocation. But however, many parents and students are unhappy with this since it again allows the students who have already given a chance.
Out of 5550 vacant seats, around 3,100 seats are left vacant in NITs alone. Most of seats are available in unpopular courses while many seats are even available for most common courses like Computer science and Engineering, Mechanical, Civil which are considered to be the most important courses for Engineering aspirants. It is said that the major reason for this is, many students with higher ranks who had already blocked the seats did not report to take admission against the same. NIT, Patna Director and CSAB chairman said that the board has received 10,000 applications in the 3 day window for the special round initially.
They said that the board has been receiving requests from a set of students, who have mentioned that they have missed out to allocate a seat as they were unaware of business rules in the first time Joint Process. Based on this student’s request, the board has decided to open an additional special round for all. Also they have said that, since the admission are done on the basis of meritorious students; no harm will be caused for other students. Parents and students need not worry about this.
