Hello there,

For your situation with a general rank of 69,000 and a practical rank of 8,239 in the 3AG category, the rank considered for admission typically depends on the college and the specific course you're applying for. Here’s how it generally works:

1. General Rank vs. Practical Rank : In most cases, the general rank is considered for allocation of seats. However, some colleges might take the practical rank into account if there are specific quotas or categories involved.
   
   

2. 3AG Category : As you belong to the 3AG category, this may give you some advantage in the seat allocation process, depending on the reservations and policies in place for horticulture programs.

3. Seat Availability and Cut-off Ranks : Horticulture courses can have varying cut-off ranks each year based on the competition and the number of seats available. You will need to check the previous year's cut-off for horticulture in your category to get a better idea of your chances.

Given your ranks, it's advisable to monitor the counseling updates closely and reach out to the admission office of the institution you're interested in. They can provide the most accurate information regarding seat availability and the ranks being considered for horticulture admission.
