Combined DASA and CSAB-Special Rounds:

Earlier, DASA and CSAB-Special Rounds were two separate admission processes. In 2025, they will happen together through a single system. This new step is taken to make the admission process simpler and more student-friendly.

Now, you don’t need to register on two different websites. You can apply for both DASA and CSAB-Special Rounds using one registration on the CSAB website: https://csab.nic.in. All updates and results will be available on this portal.

Special Round System for Student:

With this new system, everything will be handled in one place. This will save time and reduce confusion. Students eligible for both DASA and CSAB-Special Rounds will benefit the most.

You only need to register once and upload your documents once. DASA candidates will go through document checking before seats are given. If you get a seat under CSAB-Special Rounds, then you must follow CSAB’s process for document checking.

Information available on Websites:

It is important to know what each website is used for so that you don’t miss anything. CSAB and DASA websites have different responsibilities, even though they work together.

The CSAB Portal https://csab.nic.in is used for:

• Registration and choice filling for both DASA and CSAB-Special Rounds
• Downloading the DASA 2025 brochure (v1.1 released on May 26, 2025)
• Reading the CSAB-Special brochure
• Reading a special notice for students applying to both schemes

The DASA Website https://dasanit.org/dasa2025 is used for:

• Checking DASA rules and eligibility
• Viewing fee details for DASA
• Getting scheme-specific updates

Admission Information:

Even though DASA is now linked with CSAB-Special Rounds, the admission rule remains the same. DASA 2025 will still give admission based only on JEE Main 2025 rank.

There is no SAT score required. So if you are applying through DASA UG 2025, make sure you have a valid JEE Main score.

Important Point to Remember:

If you are applying to Indian colleges through NRI or foreign student quotas, these updates are for you. This includes:

• NRI (Non-Resident Indian) students
• OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) holders
• PIO (Person of Indian Origin) cardholders
• Foreign nationals

If you qualify for both DASA and CSAB-Special Rounds, this new system will help you apply more easily. But you must follow the correct process.

DASA 2025 brings a major change by combining with CSAB-Special Rounds. This new system is more organized and easier to follow. However, students need to be careful about deadlines, documents, and rules for each scheme.

Prepare your documents early, read all brochures, and follow the steps on time. This will help you get a smooth admission into top Indian engineering colleges through the DASA scheme.
