Hello there,
The discrepancy in your allotment through PGCET despite your rank (3300) and category (ST) could be due to several factors specific to this year’s admission trends:
-
Increased Competition : The number of candidates in your category applying for MCA at PES University or Dayananda Sagar may have increased this year, raising the effective cutoff ranks.
-
Changes in Seat Matrix : Seat allocation for different categories, including ST, might have been revised this year. Fewer seats in these colleges for your category can significantly impact cutoffs.
Reservation Quotas
: There could have been adjustments in the quota for various categories, leading to a shift in rank preferences for top colleges.
First-Preference Impact
: Admission to a preferred college also depends on the number of candidates ahead of you who marked PES or Dayananda Sagar as their first choices.
Late Option Entry or Choice Filling Errors
: If your choices weren’t ordered optimally or submitted late, you might have been allocated RNSIT based on availability when your turn came.
Higher Preferences for RNSIT by Others
: Some students might prioritize RNSIT over PES or Dayananda Sagar for reasons like proximity, affordability, or personal preferences, affecting the seat availability for your category.
Suggested Steps:
-
Document Verification
: Ensure your category was correctly considered during allotment.
-
Check Vacancy Round
: Keep an eye on spot rounds or vacancy seats in your preferred colleges, as they might open up due to cancellations.
- Appeal if Necessary : If you suspect an error, approach the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) for clarification.
This year's deviations are likely influenced by increased demand and changing allocation trends.
