Hello,

With C-CAT July 2025 rank 1206 and your preference for DAI and DBDA courses, here are your possible options:

For PG-DAI (Data Analytics & AI):

• CDAC ACTS Pune: Very low chances (usually closes within top 200 ranks).

• Sunbeam Pune: Tough, but slight chance in later rounds (usually under 600–700).

• IACSD Akurdi: Good chance (cutoff goes till around 1400–1500).

• Know-IT Pune: Very likely (cutoff around 2000+).

For PG-DBDA (Big Data Analytics):

• CDAC Pune (Pashan): Very low chances (usually high cutoff).

  Recommended

• Other centres like IACSD or Know-IT: Better chances compared to Pune main centre

It is suggested to give higher preferences to IACSD and Know-IT for DAI and DBDA courses, as you have better chances of getting admission there. You might also get a seat in Sunbeam Pune in the 2nd or 3rd round if some seats remain vacant.

However, getting ACTS Pune is unlikely at this rank. It is important to keep checking the official counselling updates for better clarity and any changes.

Hope it helps !
