Hi Tejashwini,

According to the rules, if a candidate is eligible for getting admission for a seat on the basis of his/her All India Rank, then his/her All India Rank is considered. However, if the same candidate is not eligible for taking admission on the basis of AIR, but his/her Category rank is fetching him/her a seat, then his/her Category rank is considered.

You may refer to the articles on Careers360 to get details about the same.

Feel free to ask us in case of any queries.

Good luck!
