Hello Aspirant,

See if you belongs to the reserved category EWS then you must have got your EWS rank along with your CRL rank in JEE-Main result. In JOSAA counselling the category rank is used for seat allotment in NITs/IIITs/CFTIs/GFTIs but in CSAB special rounds counselling only CRL rank is to be used for seat allotment but for Unreserved/General category candidates only CRL rank is allotted and the same to be used for seat allotment.

Simply your category rank denotes your position among the candidates of your category for e.g. you got 10k EWS rank which means that out of all EWS candidates who appeared for JEE-Main 2021, you are on 10,000th place but CRL rank denotes your position among all the candidates who appeared for JEE-Main 2021 irrespective of their category.

Therefore during JOSAA counselling your Gen-EWS rank will be considered and during CSAB counselling your CRL rank would be considered.

As the JEE-Main result is out, so to have a list of all those colleges which you can get based upon your rank, category, and state you can use JEE-Main College Predictor:-
