Rank Trends Commentary
Over the past decade, the opening and closing ranks for SCGIMT's Computer Science and Information Technology program have shown a gradual decline, reflecting increased popularity among aspiring students. The trend suggests that more students are recognizing the value of education at SCGIMT, leading to heightened competition.
The gap between opening and closing ranks has also widened over time, indicating that seats are being filled quickly after each counseling round. This pattern is particularly evident in the General category, where the gap has increased from 300 points in 2015 to 350 points in 2024.
For reserved categories such as SC, ST, and PwD, the ranks have shown a similar declining trend, though with less steep increases compared to the General category. This suggests that while there is growing interest among all categories, the competition is more intense for general seats.
