Admissions planning estimate

8% baseline · Low data confidence

Sensitivity range: 1.6%–14.4%. This is a modelling range, not a statistical confidence interval or a personal admission probability.

Uncalibrated Indian admissions prior, not a measured college acceptance rate. Programme, exam rank/score, category, quota and round decide admission. Available JoSAA/DU cutoffs override this baseline for the individual student.

Reviewed 2026-10-01. Recommendations also use your grades, intended course, eligibility and available entrance cutoffs.

Branch-wise closing ranks & seats

JoSAA 2026 final round, gender-neutral pool, by category, other-state / home-state quota. Seats from the JoSAA 2025 seat matrix.
