Hello

Branch rank is only considered for admissions.

And the main purpose of giving the integrated rank is to make an easy process for certificate verification and counseling.Because for other competitive exams it will be said that for 1–3000 ranks the counseling will be on this day and for 3001–5000 ranks the counseling will be on the next day and so on. But for ECET with more than 20 engineering streams it will be clumsy because a same rank will be appearing for different persons of different engineering streams. So based on your integrated rank you are called for counseling. And admission will be given on your actual branch rank. So no need to worry about your integrated rank. It won't make you to feel less.

All the best.
