Dear Aspirant,

Good, You have done well in your exam , you're in top percent of students and total number of students who gave the paper 2 exam we're about 1.5 lakh students so, that brings to you a rank of 3k -4k rank but ,but, but. Remember that's the rank when only January's performance is considered for everyone and as expected everyone will try to improve their score.

Now coming to the point , what college can you expect at this rank :- So, if you look at previous years trends then , there's no college you can expect if you're from other state. But you have 70-80% chance that you could get a college if you have home state advantage  . Check out your state .
