The thing most of us need to understand is that, basing your approximate college branch from last year’s cutoff for this year’s first/mock round is wrong.
This year’s mock round was held before josaa and cet first round, so obviously, nearly everyone who has a rank, has taken part in the option entry. The last year cutoffs are after comedk second round meaning after CET second round and after josaa. So everyone who got a satisfactory seat in CET and jossa didn’t attend the second round of comedk and thus there were many vacancies and that is how the rank cutoff have such large differences.
Logically speaking…
Let’s assume every branch of every college has 33 seats (like most do) and that everyone has claimed them in this mock round.
The last year cutoff says that RV CSE got over for a rank of 450.
But I’m pretty sure that even the person with rank 400 wouldn’t have got RV CSE
From last year trends, the cut off goes like:
RV CSE< RV ISE< RV ECE < BMS CSE < MSRIT CSE
But from this calculation, we see that even msrit cse can get over before 200–250(because nearly everybody has claimed them)
So therefore, don’t worry even if you don’t get your predicted college, just wait for the second round and you won’t be disappointed (conditions apply [plus or minus 200 ranks for a particular branch in a college]).
Thank you
