Step 2: Understanding Your Rank

After checking your result, focus on your All India Rank (AIR). This is what matters for admissions.

• If you’re from the General Category, aim for a lower rank (i.e., higher score).
  
• If you’re from OBC/SC/ST/PwD, category rank will also matter.
  

Your rank decides whether you get into NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, or not.
