💸 Fee Structure (CSAB‑Special)

₹19,000 for SC/ST/PwD candidates (includes ₹5,000 non-refundable processing fee)
Candidates who previously paid partial fees during JoSAA or have category changes may need to pay a differential amount.
🔑 Why This Matters
A unified counselling platform for CSAB-Special and DASA improves efficiency and reduces duplication.
Candidates who missed out in JoSAA counselling or want to upgrade their seats get a valuable second chance.
International students under the DASA scheme also benefit from this centralized process.
