To participate, candidates must meet specific eligibility requirements based on their <strong>academic qualifications<\/strong>, <strong>JoSAA participation status<\/strong>, and <strong>state\/UT category<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Academic Qualification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>JEE Main Qualification<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Candidates must have <strong>appeared for and qualified JEE Main 2025<\/strong> with a valid rank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The eligibility is similar to JoSAA counseling, as CSAB fills the remaining vacant seats in the same institutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.
