which rank is considered while josaa councelling AIR or catagory rank ?

Hello,

Indeed, it depends on both depending on admission is being given on the basis of which quota



There are following quotas :- Open, Obc, SC , ST and EWS.



First of all seats are allotted on the basis of open quota in which studemts from all quotas participate and preference is given on the basis of AIR.



Next will be EWS seats where EWS students will be participating on the basis of EWS category rankings.



Next OBC seats which will be filled by OBC, SC and ST students where AIR among these will be compared.



Next SC seats which are filled be SC and ST students by giving preference to higher AIR among SC and ST students.



Finally ST students where only ST students participate.



If after all these the female percentage is less than 17, then extra or supernumerary seats are made for Female candidates where female candidates are admitted through Female category ranks.

Seat allotments are based on AIR. In your category also allotment will be based on AIR. You can say that category rank indirectly comes into play, but when a category student has a rank so good that he can get a seat in general category then, AIR is considered.



I hope this would help you. For further queries please feel free to write me down in the comment box.
