Strategy: How to Fill Choices Smartly
Choice filling is where most candidates lose marks they actually earned on exam day. Here’s how to avoid that:
- Research branch-wise closing ranks from 2024 and 2025 for your target colleges — your most reliable predictor.
- Keep your choice list broad. Include branches you’d genuinely consider, not just your dream programme.
- IIIT-D applicants: Upload Olympiad, sports, and innovation credentials carefully — bonus points can shift your standing.
- Don’t change choices impulsively between rounds without studying allotment trends.
- Submit early — don’t leave it to June 9 at 11 PM.
