Percentile vs Rank: Percentile indicates how you performed relative to other candidates. Your effective rank depends on the total test-takers and normalisation. For example, a 95 percentile means you've performed better than 95% of all candidates.

​

Category & Home University: Seat allocation varies by caste/category and by Home University region (Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, etc.). Choosing these correctly improves prediction accuracy. Each university has reserved seats for students from their home region, giving you better chances if you select the right zone.

​

CAP Rounds: Allotments typically happen across multiple rounds. Cutoffs can shift each round depending on seat availability, institute choice codes, and candidate movement. The first round usually has the highest competition, while later rounds may see reduced cutoffs as seats become available.

​

Strategy Tip: Create a balanced preference list—dream, target, and safe options. Our predictor suggests a mix you can review with our counsellors. Always fill all available choices (up to the maximum allowed) to maximize your chances of getting a seat you're satisfied with.

The Centralised Admission Process (CAP) is designed to ensure fair and transparent admissions. Understanding the timeline, documentation requirements, and choice-filling strategy is crucial for success. Many students miss out on good colleges simply because they didn't optimize their preference list properly.
