Hey aspirant!
To be honest, it is difficult to predict the ranks at this point of time as the April session has yet to take place and actual rank could be known only after that. However, you can predict your expected rank by this formula:-
So,(100 - your total percentile score) is the percentage of people ahead of you. Now, 869010 were the number of candidates appeared for Jan exam. So rank formula is (100 - your total score) X 869010 /100. If the number of candidates for April exam increased to 1200000 then your final rank shall be (100 - your total score) X 1200000/100
The rank which you would get from this formula is the General Rank or Common Rank or the AIR. Category rank list is different from this Common rank list and depends on the total number of same category, in your case EWS, students participating in the exam and hence varies according to participating students of the same category.
Hope this helps.
