This analysis applies to candidates competing under OS (Other State) or AI (All India) quota — the benchmark for any candidate who is not a domicile of the listed institute's home state.
Safe Allotment (High Probability)
Colleges where the final closing rank is at least 400+ above the band midpoint (7,500) under OS/AI quota
No colleges in the 5,000–10,000 band have a historical closing rank that makes them definitively safe for the full range under OS/AI quota. Candidates at the lower end of this band may find borderline programs accessible with a comfortable margin.
Borderline (Coin-Flip Zone)
Colleges where the band midpoint (7,500) falls within ±400 of the final closing rank under OS/AI quota
