JoSAA/CSAB Counseling Process
The admission process for ABPC is conducted through JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) or CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board), depending on the program. Students must register online, fill out preferences, and participate in rounds of seat allocation based on their rank and category.
Eligibility for admission requires candidates to have scored minimum qualifying marks in the relevant entrance exam (e.g., JEE Main, WBJEE, etc.). The counseling process involves:
- Registration and preference filling
- Seat allocation based on merit and preferences
- Document verification and fee payment
- Joining the allocated program
