What is the IIT College Predictor?

The IIT College Predictor is a powerful tool designed to help JEE Advanced qualifiers estimate their chances of securing admission to various IITs based on their rank, category, and gender. Using historical data from previous years' cutoffs, our predictor provides probability scores for each potential college-branch combination.

This guide will walk you through how to use the tool effectively to make informed decisions about your IIT preferences during the JoSAA counseling process.

How to Use the IIT Predictor Tool

Step 1: Enter Your JEE Advanced Rank

Input your JEE Advanced All India Rank (AIR) in the designated field. Make sure to enter only numeric values without any commas or spaces.

Example: If your rank is 2500, simply enter 2500 in the rank field.

Step 2: Select Your Category

Choose your category from the dropdown menu. The IIT predictor supports the following categories:

OPEN - General category
OBC-NCL - Other Backward Classes (Non-Creamy Layer)
SC - Scheduled Caste
ST - Scheduled Tribe
EWS - Economically Weaker Section

Your category significantly impacts your college options as each category has different cutoff ranks.

Step 3: Select Your Gender

Choose your gender (Male or Female) from the dropdown. This is important because:

Female candidates have access to both Gender-Neutral seats and Female-Only seats
Male candidates can only apply for Gender-Neutral seats

The tool will automatically show the appropriate seat types based on your gender selection.

Step 4: Filter Colleges and Branches (Optional)

You can narrow down your search by selecting specific IITs or branches you're interested in:

Select specific IITs from the "Select Colleges" dropdown (e.g., IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi)
Select specific branches from the "Select Branches" dropdown (e.g., Computer Science, Electrical Engineering)
If you want to see all options, leave both dropdowns with the default "ALL" selection

You can also filter results by seat type:

"All Seats" - Shows all available seats based on your gender
"Gender-Neutral Seats Only" - Shows only Gender-Neutral seats
"Female-Only Seats" - Shows only Female-Only seats (only applicable for female candidates)

Step 5: Get Your Predictions

Click on the "Predict" button to generate your personalized college predictions. The results will be displayed in a table format with the following information:

College Name - The IIT campus
Branch - The academic program
Category - Your selected category
Closing Rank 2023 - The highest rank that got admission in 2023
Closing Rank 2024 - The highest rank that got admission in 2024
Seat Type - Whether the seat is Gender-Neutral or Female-Only
Probability - Your chances of getting admission (Very High, High, Medium, Low, Very Low)

Understanding Probability Scores

The probability score indicates your chances of getting admission to a particular program based on the historical cutoff data:

Very High Your rank is significantly better than the previous year's closing rank
High Your rank is better than the previous year's closing rank
Medium Your rank is close to the previous year's closing rank
Low Your rank is slightly higher (worse) than the previous year's closing rank
Very Low Your rank is significantly higher (worse) than the previous year's closing rank

The predictor uses data from both 2023 and 2024 JEE Advanced cutoffs to provide more accurate predictions. Results are sorted by probability (highest to lowest) to help you identify your best options.

Sample Results

Here's an example of what your results might look like for a student with rank 2500 in General category:

College	Branch	Category	Opening Rank	Closing Rank	Seat Type	Probability
IIT Guwahati	Chemical Engineering	OPEN	1852	2611	Gender-Neutral	Very High
IIT Roorkee	Chemical Engineering	OPEN	2072	2687	Gender-Neutral	High
IIT BHU	Civil Engineering	OPEN	2218	2531	Gender-Neutral	Medium
IIT Roorkee	Metallurgical Engineering	OPEN	2432	2523	Gender-Neutral	Medium
IIT Kharagpur	Agricultural Engineering	OPEN	2398	2587	Gender-Neutral	Low

Based on these results, the student has very high chances of getting Chemical Engineering at IIT Guwahati, and high chances for Chemical Engineering at IIT Roorkee.

Tips for Using the Predictor Effectively

Consider multiple options: Don't limit yourself to just one or two choices. Explore various IITs and branches to maximize your opportunities.
Check both years' data: Our predictor uses data from both 2023 and 2024 to provide more accurate predictions. Pay attention to trends in cutoff ranks.
For female candidates: If you're a female candidate, consider both Gender-Neutral and Female-Only seats to increase your options.
Use filters wisely: Start with a broad search (ALL colleges and branches) and then narrow down based on your preferences.
Consider location preferences: IITs are located across different regions of India. Consider factors like proximity to home, climate, and campus facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the IIT College Predictor?

Yes, our predictor uses the final closing ranks from the last round of JoSAA counseling to provide the most inclusive picture of your chances.

What if I don't see any results for my rank?

If no results appear, your rank might be higher than the closing ranks of available programs. Try reducing any filters you've applied or explore options in different categories if applicable.

Are preparatory course options included in the predictions?

No, the predictor focuses on regular program admissions and doesn't include preparatory courses offered at some IITs.
