The Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) will announce the CSAB Special Round 2 Result 2026 online for candidates seeking admission to participating NITs, IIITs and other government-funded technical institutes. This is a counselling and seat-allotment process, so total posts are not applicable; the number of available seats will depend on the institute-wise vacancy matrix published for the special rounds. Candidates will be able to check their allotment status at csab.nic.in using their login credentials.
