Allotment is based on both ranks ( category as well as general )
According to your Rank and preferences ; that college will be alloted to you which is in higher preference by considering your both rank.
Like if you are getting preference number 5 according to your general Rank ; but due to your category rank you are getting 4 th preference than you will allot preference 4th. And vice versa.
Good luck
