Is this an admission probability?

No. Delta defines a search window, not a probability or safe/risky threshold. The endpoint compares historical rows; it does not reproduce official allocation, average earlier years or predict other candidates.

What does the endpoint actually query?

The configured latest-year model and its global latest round are used, with preparatory rows excluded. Category and pool are exact filters. The backend IIT bucket includes IISc and uses Advanced bounds; other rows use Main bounds. Selected rows are displayed by opening rank after selection tiers and the result cap.

What inputs should I provide?

The form sends Main rank, optional Advanced rank, category, seat pool, state, delta and result limit. Use the rank list matching the selected category. It does not accept separate CRL/category ranks or separate architecture/planning paper ranks.

Will Advanced display all matching IIT and IISc programmes?

No. The limit and selection tiers can omit alternatives, including an exam group. Adding a rank enables that historical comparison; it is not a completeness or eligibility guarantee. Main and Advanced numerical ranks are not a cross-exam quality ranking.

What are the quota and pool limitations?

A selected female-only pool does not automatically include Gender-Neutral rows. Exact state matching does not encode every Union Territory mapping or special quota. Missing rows can reflect stored data or filtering, not official nonpublication.

How should I use the results?

Use the shortlist for research. Inspect matching year, round, quota, category and pool in detailed tables; verify current programme restrictions, documents and seats at official sources. Historical cutoff movement has no universal safe margin.
