Plain-language definitions of the terms, labels and UniTracko-calculated metrics you will see across the platform - so you always know exactly what a number means before you act on it. Where a metric is computed by us, we explain what it measures and the factors it considers; the exact formulas and weightages are UniTracko’s proprietary model.

UniTracko Rankings & Scores

Metrics computed by UniTracko to help you compare exams, colleges, coaching and videos at a glance. For each metric we explain what it measures and the factors it considers; the exact formulas and weightages are part of UniTracko’s proprietary model and are not published.

UT Exam Rank • Exams listing; exam cards

UniTracko's India-wide ranking of entrance examinations. A lower number means the exam opens more and better doors overall. It helps you compare exams at a glance instead of judging them only by popularity.

How it’s determined: Considers factors such as average applicants (last 3 years), difficulty level, qualified candidates, success rate, number of accepting colleges, and exam frequency. Computed by UniTracko's proprietary model. The exact formula, weightages and methodology are UniTracko's intellectual property and are not published.

UT Category Rank • Exams listing; college listing

The same UniTracko ranking, but computed only within one category (e.g. Engineering, Medical, General). Use it to compare an exam or college against its direct peers rather than the whole country.

How it’s determined: Computed by UniTracko's proprietary model. The exact formula, weightages and methodology are UniTracko's intellectual property and are not published.

UT College Rank • College pages; college listing

UniTracko's India-wide ranking of colleges in our database. A lower number indicates a stronger overall profile across academics, admissions, placements and facilities as reflected in our data.

How it’s determined: Computed by UniTracko's proprietary model. The exact formula, weightages and methodology are UniTracko's intellectual property and are not published.

UT Rank (program listing) • Exam-College-Program tables

The UT College Rank of the college offering that program, shown alongside each program row so you can sort options quickly.

How it’s determined: Same value as UT College Rank; repeated for convenience.

UT Par AIR / UT Par Rank • Exam ladder; mock-test benchmarking

Your 'at-par' benchmark for an exam: the All India Rank (or equivalent) at which a typical serious aspirant is competitive for good options through that exam. It is the middle rung of the UniTracko Exam Ladder and gives you a realistic target to measure your mock scores against.

How it’s determined: Derived from historical cutoff, seat and applicant data for each exam. Computed by UniTracko's proprietary model. The exact formula, weightages and methodology are UniTracko's intellectual property and are not published.

Exam Ladder (Rungs 1-5) • Exam pages; preparation planning

A five-step scale showing what different rank levels achieve in an exam: Rung 5 'Flagship' (top institutes), Rung 4 'Strong' (very good options), Rung 3 'UT Par' (competitive benchmark), Rung 2 'Comfort' (safe options), Rung 1 'Entry' (minimum useful level). Each rung shows an indicative rank value and range.

How it’s determined: Rung boundaries are estimated from historical counselling and cutoff data. They are indicative, not official. Computed by UniTracko's proprietary model. The exact formula, weightages and methodology are UniTracko's intellectual property and are not published.

Percentile to Rank (conversion) • Exam ladder; mock analysis

An approximate conversion between a percentile score and an All India Rank for exams that report percentiles, so your mock percentile can be read on the same ladder. Example form: Rank ≈ (1 − Percentile/100) × total candidates.

How it’s determined: Uses an estimated candidate base per exam; actual official ranks may differ. Indicative only.

Merit Direction • Exam ladder data

Tells you which way is 'better' for an exam's result scale. 'Lower is better' means rank 1 is the top (most rank-based exams); for score-based scales a higher score is better.

How it’s determined: Set per exam based on how its official results are declared.

Parent Exam for Mocks • Exam ladder; self-learning

The main exam whose mock tests and preparation material best represent a linked or derivative exam (e.g. several state admissions run via JEE Main scores). Prepare for the parent exam and the linked exam is covered.

How it’s determined: Assigned editorially based on official admission routes.

Success Rate (exam) • Exam pages

An indicative percentage of candidates who achieve a usable outcome (qualification or admission-worthy rank) in that exam, shown as a band such as '< 1%' or '2-5%'. It signals how competitive the exam is.

How it’s determined: Estimated from reported applicant and qualifier numbers; shown as a range because official definitions vary.

Ranking Score & Success Potential (coaching) • Coaching institute listing

UniTracko's comparative score for coaching institutes (higher is better) and an indicative 'success potential' percentage reflecting how well-placed the institute is to support results, based on our data on batch size, duration, ratings, reach and offerings.

How it’s determined: Computed by UniTracko's proprietary model. The exact formula, weightages and methodology are UniTracko's intellectual property and are not published. Student ratings shown alongside are aggregated from public feedback and are not UniTracko's opinion.

Video Rank (rank_in_subtopic / topic / chapter / subject) • Self-learning section

The order in which UniTracko lists videos within a subtopic, topic, chapter or subject. Rank 1 is our top pick for learning that item first. It is a curation order, not a statement about the video's popularity on YouTube.

How it’s determined: Based on UniTracko's editorial review of syllabus coverage, clarity and exam relevance. Computed by UniTracko's proprietary model. The exact formula, weightages and methodology are UniTracko's intellectual property and are not published.

Career Guidance & Assessment

Terms used in UniTracko’s stream, interest and strengths-based career mapping. Assessment outputs are guidance and decision-support - not a clinical or diagnostic evaluation.

Stream • Across the platform

Your Class 11-12 subject combination, used to filter everything relevant to you: PCM (Physics-Chemistry-Maths), PCB (Physics-Chemistry-Biology), PCMB (all four), Commerce, Humanities, and Vocational.

How it’s determined: Standard Indian senior-secondary groupings.

Interest • Career mapping; assessments

A theme you enjoy working on (e.g. Problem Solving, App Building, Data Science). UniTracko maps each interest to the programs and exams that lead to careers built on it.

How it’s determined: Interest-to-program mapping is curated by UniTracko's editorial and model team. Computed by UniTracko's proprietary model. The exact formula, weightages and methodology are UniTracko's intellectual property and are not published.

Strengths (Think, Drive, Connect, Lead, Grow) • Psychometric assessment results

The five dimensions UniTracko's assessment measures: Think (how you process information), Drive (what motivates you), Connect (how you relate to people), Lead (how you influence), and Grow (how you develop). Each dimension resolves to a named profile (e.g. 'Evidence', 'Achiever', 'HeartReader', 'Igniter', 'GrowthSeeker').

How it’s determined: Profiles are assigned from your assessment responses by UniTracko's proprietary framework. They are guidance, not a clinical or diagnostic evaluation.

Career Rank • Career recommendations

The order in which recommended careers are listed for your stream, interests and strengths. Rank 1 is the closest overall fit according to our model, not a judgment that other careers are wrong for you.

How it’s determined: Computed by UniTracko's proprietary model. The exact formula, weightages and methodology are UniTracko's intellectual property and are not published.

Why This Fits You • Career recommendations

A short, plain-language explanation of why a career appears in your list – for example, how many programs it shares with your interests, or which strength it draws on.

How it’s determined: Generated from the same mapping the recommendation uses, so the reason always matches the logic.

Exams

Labels and fields on exam pages. Dates are indicative; the official notification always prevails.

Difficulty Level • Exam pages

An indicative label (e.g. Intermediate, Advanced) describing how demanding the exam is relative to other Indian entrance exams, considering syllabus depth and competition.

How it’s determined: UniTracko's editorial classification; not an official rating.

How it’s determined: Taken from the official exam pattern.

Domicile • Exam pages

Whether you must be a resident of a particular state to take the exam or claim its seats. Many state exams are open to all but reserve a share of seats ('state quota') for residents.

How it’s determined: Summarised from official eligibility rules; the note explains any quota nuance.

Counselling / Counselling Authority • Exam and college pages

The official seat-allotment process that follows the exam, and the body that runs it (e.g. JoSAA/CSAB for IIT-NIT seats, MCC for medical All India Quota, state authorities for state seats). Your exam rank is converted into an actual seat here.

Official reservation categories under Indian law: General (unreserved), EWS (Economically Weaker Sections), OBC (Other Backward Classes), SC (Scheduled Castes), ST (Scheduled Tribes). Seats, cutoffs and fees often differ by category, so we show data category-wise where available.

How it’s determined: As defined by Government of India and state policies; certificates are verified by the admission authority, not UniTracko.

Gender (seat tag) • Program seat listings

Marks seats reserved for one gender: 'Female' = female-only seats/supernumerary quota, 'Male' = male-only, and a blank cell means the seats are open to all (gender-neutral) – blank is the default, not missing data.

How it’s determined: As per the counselling authority's seat matrix.

How it’s determined: Compiled from official counselling round results of recent years; treat as indicative for the next cycle.

Expected Cutoff by Exams • College pages

An indicative range of ranks or scores at which admission to that college has recently been possible through each accepted exam. 'NA' means a reliable figure was not available for that exam.

How it’s determined: Classified from the college's accepted exams and counselling bodies.

Admission Process Steps / Documents (Yes-No grid) • College and exam pages

A checklist showing which steps (application, exam, choice filling, counselling, etc.) and which documents (marksheets, category certificate, domicile, etc.) typically apply for that college or exam. 'Yes' = usually required; 'No' = usually not part of the process.

How it’s determined: Compiled from official prospectuses and counselling instructions; the institution's official list always prevails.

Coaching

How coaching institutes are described and standardised for fair comparison.

Standardized Fee / Fee Band • Coaching listing
