–Both DASA and CSAB-Special admissions will be conducted via the csab.nic.in portal.
–The registration process, fee structure, and document verification will function independently of JoSAA protocols.
–Candidates can participate in up to three rounds of counselling to secure or upgrade their admission.
Further, following the conclusion of JoSAA 2025 counselling, all vacant seats in the NIT+ system will be filled through three dedicated rounds under CSAB-Special and DASA 2025.
