About RankMatrix

What RankMatrix is

RankMatrix is a free, independent JEE college and branch planning tool. It compares JEE Main and JEE Advanced ranks with published historical cutoffs for the institutes and programmes in our stored catalogue.

The aim is narrow on purpose: help an aspirant turn a JEE rank into a clear, ordered list of realistic college-and-branch choices, without the friction that most counselling tools ship with. No signup or contact details are required to use the tools. Submitted inputs reach the backend; see the privacy policy for storage and service-provider details.

Why this exists

I went through JoSAA myself. The data you actually need to make a sensible choice list — last year's closing ranks, seat counts for your category, branch-level cutoff trends across rounds — is technically published by JoSAA, but it is scattered across PDFs, downloadable spreadsheets, and pages that are not built for the question you are trying to answer at midnight before choice locking: given my rank, what is realistic, and in what order should I list it?

Most of the tools that try to answer that question wall the data behind a phone number, a newsletter signup, or an aggressive sales funnel. That is the gap RankMatrix is trying to close. The same official data, organised around the actual decision, with no toll booths.

Who built it

RankMatrix is built and maintained by Divyansh Agarwal (GitHub), an IIT Roorkee alumnus working as a software development engineer. The site is an independent side project, not a company. It is not affiliated with JoSAA, JEE, NTA, the IITs, NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs. Every claim on the site is checkable against the official source.

Where the data comes from

Our JoSAA dataset contains factual information extracted from public publications:

• Opening and closing ranksper institute, branch, quota, category, seat pool, year, and round — from JoSAA's published cutoff records.
• Seat matrix — institute-by-institute, branch-by-branch seat counts per category — from the official JoSAA seat matrix release.
• Institutes and programmes — published college and branch names, codes, degrees, and course durations.

These are cutoff ranges and seat counts, not a list of individual candidates. We do not obtain candidate names, roll numbers, application IDs, or personal rank records from JoSAA. NIRF rankings shown on college pages come from NIRF as a separate source.

RankMatrix develops its own search, comparisons, predictor, choice-list workspace, and explanations around this stored information. These features do not run JoSAA's tools or seat-allocation system, and they cannot register you or submit choices to JoSAA.

For details on how the predictor uses this data — and where its predictions can be wrong — see the methodology page.

What RankMatrix is not

• Not an official source. Always confirm the latest schedule, eligibility, and cutoffs on josaa.nic.in before making any admission decision.
• Not a coaching service or admission consultancy. RankMatrix does not sell counselling sessions, mentorship, or paid plans. There is nothing to upsell.
• Not a guarantee.Predictor results are comparisons with historical cutoffs, not forecasts of future ranks or admission offers. Actual allocations depend on current seats, rules, and applicants' ranks and choices.

How RankMatrix is funded

The site is currently funded out of pocket. To keep it free and signup-free at scale, it will eventually run a small number of non-intrusive Google AdSense placements, kept well away from the primary tools. There are no paid plans, no premium tiers, no “unlock your full predictor” gates, and no plans to introduce any. If that ever changes, it will be visible on this page first.

Get in touch

Bug reports, missing data, broken links, feature ideas, or just feedback — please send them. The fastest channels are listed on the contact page. Direct corrections to the data are especially welcome: if a rank, seat count, or participating-institute entry looks wrong, tell me and I will check it against the official source and fix it.
