3.0 Lakhs candidates expected to register in JoSAA Rounds for ~ 40,000 seats in the ‘NIT+ system’
23rd June 2023: National Institute of Technology
Rourkela (NIT Rourkela) is conducting the
centralized seat allocation process for the year 2023 for admission to various
undergraduate programs at 31 NITs, IIEST, 26 IIITs, 03 SPAs (School of Planning
and Architecture) and 36 GFTI (Government funded technical institutes), all
collectively called the ‘NIT+ System.’
The centralized seat allocation for the NIT+
system will be conducted by the Central
Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) along with the Joint Admission Board (JAB) for
IITs. The seat allocation will be based on the common rank list (CRL) of
candidates in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main), whereas seat
allocation to IITs will be based on the CRL in JEE (Advanced).
Unlike previous years, the registration for JoSAA
rounds of seat allocation started on 19th June 2023, immediately the day after
declaration of JEE (Advanced) results. The CSAB-Special Rounds will begin on 31st
July 2023 after the completion of JoSAA rounds. The whole counseling process is
expected to be completed by 14th August 2023, and classes in the NIT+ System
are expected to start by 17th August 2023.
In addition, based on the JEE (Main) rank,
separate CSAB-Supernumerary rounds will also be conducted by CSAB for admission
to supernumerary seats for Union Territories of Andaman and Nicobar,
Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli in selected NITs.
NIT Rourkela informs CSAB-NEUT rounds will be
conducted by CSAB from 26th June 2023 to allocate seats under the scheme of ‘Reservation
of seats in Degree Level Technical Courses for States / UTs lacking such
facilities in the AICTE-approved institutions’ to candidates of North-East
states and Union Territories.
It is estimated that approximately 2.5
– 3.0 lakhs JEE (Main) qualified candidates are expected to
register in the CSAB for admission to about 40000 seats in NITs, IIEST, IIITs,
SPAs, and Other-GFTIs. This includes 20% of female seats reserved in NITs. The
entire process of choice filling, seat allotment, and document verification
will be conducted online so that students do not have to travel to any institute.
The key
changes in JoSAA/CSAB-2023 include:
Ø Candidates
desirous of admission to IITs and the NIT+ System must secure at least 75%
marks in the 12th Class or be in the top 20 percentile in the 12th Class exam
conducted by the respective Boards. For SC/ ST/ PwD students, the qualifying
marks would be 65% in the 12th Class exam.
Ø It
is possible that the Class XII passing status of a candidate is revised [due to
re-totaling, re-evaluation, etc.] by the Class 12 examination board after the
first round of joint seat allocation begins. Due to the revision of the passing
status of the registered candidate, if a candidate satisfies the performance in
Class 12 (or equivalent) examination requirement for admission to
IITs/NITs/IIEST/IIITs/Other-GFTIs and becomes eligible for admission, then such
a candidate can approach the IIT Guwahati with the revised passing certificate.
The candidate will be considered for seat allocation only in subsequent rounds
(if any). The allocated seat (if any) shall be the same as what the candidate
would have got based on the revised passing status to begin with. To ensure
this, a supernumerary seat will be created, if needed.
Ø In
line with the Judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, Overseas Citizen of
India (OCI)/ Person of Indian Origin (PIO) cardholders having
the said status before 04 March 2021 will be treated on par with the Indian
Nationals for the seat allocation process in JoSAA/CSAB-2023 for GEN and
GEN-PwD seats. The OCI/PIO candidates will also get the benefits of female
supernumerary seats. The state code of eligibility of OCI/PIO passing Class XII
(or equivalent) examination in India shall be at par with Indian nationals.
However, OCI/PIO passing the Class XII (or equivalent) examination from an
institution abroad are eligible for other State quota seats or All India quota
seats (but NOT for Home State quota seats) in the NIT+ System. However, a
candidate occupying two seats (one in the JoSAA round and one in the DASA
round) of the NIT+ System is mandatorily required to relinquish one of the
seats before the start of CSAB-Special Rounds, else both seats will be
canceled.
Ø Candidates
having less than 40% disability but having difficulty in writing and have
availed the services of a scribe or extra time during the examination will also
be required to do the physical verification at the verification center.
Ø Candidates
whose category got changed during JoSAA-2023 rounds will be allowed to restore
their birth category on the production of a valid certificate during the registration
phase of CSAB-Special Round 2023. NIT Rourkela has developed an online
interface wherein candidates can apply for the restoration of their birth
category by uploading a valid category certificate.
A multi-lingual helpdesk in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam,
Kannada, Marathi, Bangla, Hindi, Odia, and English languages has been
established at the CSAB-2023 headquarters at NIT Rourkela (Tel: 91241 21003) to
assist the candidates during the entire process of JoSAA/CSAB-2023 counseling
process. In addition, a total of 52 Help Centers (at least
one in every State/ UTs) have also been established to assist the students
online and offline in their local languages and English.
The business rules, certificate formats, FAQ
documents, and other documents such as Opening and Closing ranks of various
programs, seat matrix, contact details of help centers, document verification
centers, etc., are available on the JoSAA website. Candidates should ensure
that their certificates are in hand and valid. OBC-NCL and EWS certificates
must have been issued on or after 01 April 2023 by the competent authority.
NIT Rourkela stated that the process has also been
eased for persons with disabilities (PwD). The PwD candidates will have the
choice to verify their documents before the seat allocation process or at the
time of document verification in each round. A dedicated helpdesk is
functioning at the NIT Rourkela to assist divyang
aspirants. Further, help documents in immersive reader format will soon be
available for the PwD candidates.
Explaining the importance of CSAB, Prof. Mukesh K. Gupta,
Chairperson, Local Organizing Committee, CSAB 2023, said,
“We have seen 100% B.Tech seat allocation for NITs and IIITs in
CSAB-2022 last year. The multilingual helpdesk was very useful for candidates and
therefore, we are increasing the number of telephone lines. Based on last year’s
experience, we would like to inform candidates that they must pay Seat
Acceptance Fee to accept the allotted seat even if they chose FLOAT or SLIDE
option. They should also ensure that their bank account is KYC-compliant to
avoid payment failures and they should not postpone any activity to the last
moment. Some candidates lose hope in JoSAA Rounds. They should wait and
participate in CSAB-Special Round.”
In his message to the aspirants, Prof. K. Umamaheshwar Rao,
Director, NIT Rourkela, and Chairman CSAB 2023, said, “It is important for the candidates to know that
there is no JEE (Main) cut-off to participate in JoSAA/CSAB counseling process.
We have taken several steps to simplify the counseling process. The JoSAA/CSAB
counseling process is completely online, and the candidates are not required to
travel to any institute for the seat allocation process or document
verification. Candidates should be responsible for filling their choices of
academic programs and completing the steps of online reporting carefully.”
Further, Prof. K.
Umamaheshwar Rao, mentioned, “In case of any
query, they can contact CSAB headquarters at NIT Rourkela through multilingual
telephone helplines or any of the 52 Help Centers established by CSAB-2023, at
least one in each State/ UT, to help them in their local language. The outreach
activities undertaken by NIT Rourkela in the last edition of CSAB in 2022 had
helped reach a more significant number of candidates, especially those
belonging to socio-economically disadvantaged groups and those from rural backgrounds
or with linguistic barriers, in understanding the seat allocation process. The
registration of candidates increased by 28% in JoSAA Rounds and 36% in
CSAB-Special Rounds last year."
