Securing a seat in MSc Statistics with a rank of 54 and 82% UG score is promising, but not guaranteed. Here's why:

• Merit Calculation: Your admission depends on the combined score (50% weightage each) for PU CET PG rank and UG marks. With a good UG score (82%), you gain an advantage.

• Limited Seats & Competition: The number of seats available for MSc Statistics and the competition level in your category highly influence your chances.

• Uncertainty about Ranks: It's difficult to predict the exact cut-off ranks for specific universities. Ranks can vary year-to-year based on the applicant pool's strength.

Here's what you can do:

• Analyze Previous Year Data: Look for previous year's cut-off ranks for MSc Statistics in the universities you're interested in. This can give you a general idea of your chances.

• Apply Strategically: Apply to a mix of universities – some with a higher cut-off where your rank might be competitive, and others with a slightly lower cut-off as a safety net.

• Monitor Counselling Rounds: Actively participate in the counselling rounds. You might get a seat in a preferred university during later rounds if seats remain unfilled.

With your strong UG score and decent rank, securing a seat in MSc Statistics is a strong possibility. Stay informed and apply strategically to maximize your chances.

hope this helps you!!
