How to Interpret This

• A higher percentile means greater chances of getting into CSE or top branches at Amritapuri.

• Home State candidates (Kerala residents) generally face slightly lower cutoff thresholds than other state candidates.

• Other state candidates often require percentiles closer to the top range of each branch.

Additional Lens: Rank vs Percentile Insight

Pending release of official cutoffs, here’s how percentiles map roughly to ranks:

• 99+ percentile ≈ top 1–500 rank

• 98+ percentile ≈ 500–850 rank

• 97+ percentile ≈ 850–1,300 rank

• 95+ percentile ≈ 1,300–2,100 rank

• 93+ percentile ≈ 2,100–2,900 rank

If you target CSE at Amritapuri, aim for above 95% commercial percentile, which likely corresponds to ranking within the top 2,000.
