Reading This List
Sort your options by cutoff against the score you expect, not by rank alone — a college two places higher that you cannot reach is not an option. Cutoffs move every year with the number of candidates and the seats released in each counselling round, so treat the column above as a guide to whether a college is within reach rather than as a threshold.
Fees are annual tuition. Over four years, and with hostel and mess added, the total is commonly a third higher again than the figure shown, which is worth working out before you fill a choice list.
