Dear Student,

The Ministry of Education of the Government of India established the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB), formerly known as the Central Counselling Board (CCB), to coordinate admissions to various undergraduate degree programmes in engineering, technology, and architecture at NITs, IIEST, IIITs, and CFTIs.

If seats remain unfilled after JoSAA counselling is finished, CSAB counselling fills them. Anyone is welcome to join CSAB. It is made up of two rounds (2021). You have a good chance of getting a seat through CSAB even if you didn't get one through JoSAA.

There is no response if you inquire as to what is easy or difficult. I'm responding differently, which might be to your advantage. The CSAB round cutoff could be lower or higher than JoSAA. This is dependent upon the quantity of applicants and their academic standing. Similar to a lottery ticket, nobody can predict whether you'll win or not. However, there is a chance for you if your rank is close to the JoSAA cutoff for the seventh round. However, you can apply to universities with low rankings if you have a greater rank differential. Don't apply to institutions where you would not enrol even if you were accepted since you would have to pay a fee prior to receiving a seat. If you are allotted a seat and not report at the institute, your money will be sent to allotted institute and you will not get your money return. So do sincerely.
