About this tool

How the Rank Predictor works

How your rank is estimated

Your marks are converted to an All-India CRL by interpolating historical NTA marks-vs-rank trends across the full ~11–12 lakh candidate pool.

CRL + your category rank

You get both the All-India (CRL) rank and your reserved-category rank. For SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS, the category rank is what actually drives counselling — so that's what we predict colleges with.

A range, not a single number

Real ranks shift with shift-wise normalisation, paper difficulty and the candidate pool, so we show a realistic low–high band around the estimate rather than one exact figure.

Colleges matched to that rank

The NIT/IIIT options shown use your category rank against JoSAA closing ranks. Tap 'See all colleges' for the full branch-wise predictor.

Estimates model past marks-vs-rank trends — actual ranks vary by session & shift normalisation. Not an official prediction; verify on jeemain.nta.nic.in.
