Determine your eligibility for top colleges

Impact your round of admission (1st, 2nd, or spot round)
But remember:
Different courses have different CET codes.
Some colleges may be in high demand only for specific courses.

How to Prioritize Course vs College
A common dilemma:
“Should I choose a better course in an average college or an average course in a top college?”
✅ Go for Top Course if:
You’re passionate about the subject (e.g., Mass Comm, Law)
The course has strong industry demand (e.g., BCA, BBA)
✅ Go for Top College if:
You’re unsure about career goals
You want exposure, internships, brand name
💡 Balanced Approach: Choose a strong course in a good college rather than just chasing brand names.
Counseling Strategy: Smart Choice Filling Tips
Here’s how to craft a high-conversion preference list:
Create Your Personal Preference List:

Dream colleges may open up in Spot Round
