Based on your CRL of 130000 and OBC rank of 46000, you have a moderate chance of getting branches like Mechanical (ME) or Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) in lower NITs or newly established IIITs through the CSAB special rounds.

Your chances are better in NITs such as NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Sikkim, and NIT Arunachal Pradesh. Some IIITs like IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Agartala, and IIIT Manipur may also accept candidates at your rank, especially for non-CS branches.

Admission in core NITs is unlikely, but if you keep your options open and fill in as many choices as possible during CSAB, there is a possibility.

Hello

The sixth round, or Round 6, of JoSAA counselling 2025 is not limited to IITs only. It covers seat allotment and upgradation across all participating institutes, including IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.

Key Points

Round 6 is the final round for IITs. After this, no further allotment or upgradation is possible in IITs.

Round 6 also includes NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. This round remains active for the NIT plus system, and students can still receive upgraded seats in these institutes, even if they have already accepted a seat in Round 5.

For IIT seats, Round 6 marks the end of the JoSAA counselling process. There are no additional rounds and no CSAB special rounds for IITs.

For the NIT plus system, which includes NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, any remaining vacant seats after Round 6 will be filled through CSAB special rounds. Students who have not yet secured a seat should register for CSAB in order to remain in contention.

Hello Aspirant,

No, it is not limited to IITs. Round 6 is the final round for seat allotment across the whole JoSAA ecosystem which includes IITs, NITs, IIITs, and Other-GFTIs.

For IITs, it is the final round - those taking a seat in this round get no further opportunity to make changes. For the NIT+ system (which is NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs), Round 6 is the final allocation round. These are the last allocated seats at this new tier, Round 6 marks the end of the entire counselling scheme.

Yes if you are from ST category and you take admission in IIIT Sonepat then you do not have to pay tuition fees because government gives full tuition fee waiver to SC and ST students under scholarship scheme this means the big amount which is called tuition fee around sixty two thousand five hundred rupees per semester is free for ST students but you still have to pay some small fees like exam fees registration fees hostel fees mess fees and development fees these are called other charges and every student has to pay them so your total fee will not be zero but it will be much less than others like you may have to pay only fifteen thousand or twenty thousand or more depending on hostel and food if you apply for Top Class Scholarship then you may also get money for books laptop and living but this scholarship is only for students whose family income is less than six lakh rupees per year and you have to show your ST certificate income certificate and some ID proof and bank details when you apply you can fill the scholarship form online on National Scholarship Portal and after that your college will help you to submit the form and get your tuition fees removed so remember you do not have to pay tuition fees but you still have to pay other small charges and hostel if you are living in hostel so before joining IIIT Sonepat you must contact the scholarship department or college office and ask them clearly what documents are needed and when to apply if you do everything on time then you will not face any problem and your studies will go smooth and you can save lots of money and focus on learning and building your future this is how ST students get fee benefit in IIIT Sonepat.

With a CRL of 1.53 lakh, being an outside Delhi OBC candidate with defence quota priority VI, your chances of getting a CS-related branch like CSAM, CSD, CSSS, CSAI, or CSE at IIIT Delhi are unfortunately very low. The closing ranks for OBC and even for OBC with defence quota usually stay well below your rank, often within the top 80,000. Even with the quota, priority VI doesn’t offer as much relaxation as the higher priorities.

So realistically, it's unlikely you'll get a CS branch at IIIT Delhi with this rank this year. You might want to keep some backup options in mind or consider a drop year if IIIT Delhi is your goal.

Jossa counselling is the main counselling process for getting into IITs and NITs.CSAB counselling is the counselling after Jossa counselling for vacant seats. usually, SC category or easy to get into the groups like a CSE ,EC And son so on .with the SC rank of 8940 you are having a good chance of getting  Into JOSSA/CSAB counselling into CSE group .

Hello Mahitha,

At an 88.57 percentile in JEE Main, a CRL rank of 168000 and an EWS Category rank of 24000, the likelihood of receiving CSE or other top branches in NITs/IIITs through CSAB counseling are almost negligible, especially for general/open category seats. That said, as a female EWS candidate, you may have a few chances in:

• Lower ranked NITs/IIITs (NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, IIIT Una, IIIT Bhagalpur, etc.)
• Non-core branches (Civil, Metallurgy, or Biotechnology)
• Home state quota, if applicable and available at CSAB
