CSAB 2026 Mock Seat Allotment: Tentative College Placements Released Today

The Central Seat Allocation Board will publish the CSAB 2026 mock seat allotment on its official website csab.nic.in on 31 July 2026. Candidates who completed counselling registration and choice-filling can log in with their application number and password to see a tentative allocation.

The mock result is not a final admission offer but an indicative preview. It shows which institute and programme a candidate might receive based on their rank and the preferences they submitted. Because the exercise is provisional, it does not guarantee a seat; final allocations can shift with subsequent choice edits and seat availability.

After viewing the mock allotment, students can rearrange or change their preferences ahead of the Round 1 seat allotment on 6 August 2026. A total of 15,423 vacant seats are available through CSAB 2026 counselling across participating institutes, including government-funded technical institutes (GFTIs) and IIITs.

Why the Mock Allotment Is Worth a Candidate’s Attention

The mock allotment acts as a dry run that gives candidates data, not an outcome. By seeing which college their current choices point them toward, students can decide whether to adjust their preference order. Those aiming for a higher-preference institute get a reality check; those worried they might miss out can rearrange to improve their odds. Because only 15,423 seats are on offer—spread across AI, HS, OS quota categories—small changes in choice order can meaningfully alter a student’s likely destination. The board stresses that the exercise is purely advisory, so no candidate should treat it as a confirmed admission.
