DASA 2026 Seat Allotment: Willingness Options

Upon viewing their DASA 2026 Round 1 seat allotment, candidates have five distinct willingness options to choose from, as outlined by the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB). These options allow candidates to either confirm their allotted seat or express interest in subsequent rounds for better preferences.

• Freeze: Candidates who are satisfied with their allotted seat and do not wish to be considered for further rounds can choose this option. This confirms their acceptance of the current seat.
• Surrender: This option allows candidates to give up their allotted seat. The registration fee of USD 300, however, is non-refundable.
• Withdraw: Candidates can withdraw from the entire admission process using this option.
• Float: This option is for candidates who accept the current seat but wish to be considered for higher preferred choices in subsequent rounds. If a higher preference is allotted, the current seat will be automatically forfeited.
• Slide: Candidates choosing this option accept the current seat but wish to be considered for a better preferred course within the same institute in subsequent rounds.

DASA & CSAB-Special 2026: Seat Allocation Rounds

The DASA & CSAB-Special 2026 admission process is structured into two complete rounds of seat allocation. The Round 1 results declared today mark the beginning of this multi-stage process, with candidates who do not receive an allotment in this round automatically considered for Round 2.

According to the official procedure, allotments are made strictly based on the order of preferences indicated by the candidate during the application process. The DASA UG 2026 seat allotment process, including both rounds, aims to ensure a fair and transparent allocation of seats for international students and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs).

Important Information for DASA 2026 Candidates

The Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) has emphasized that the registration fee of USD 300 for DASA 2026 is non-refundable, irrespective of the candidate’s decision to surrender or withdraw from the process. Candidates are advised to carefully review their allotment and make an informed decision regarding their willingness options within the stipulated timeframe.

The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) also plays a role in the broader seat allocation landscape, with DASA 2026 rounds being a distinct but interconnected process. Candidates are encouraged to regularly check the official CSAB website for any further updates or announcements regarding the DASA 2026 seat allocation process and subsequent rounds.
