Terms of Use

Read the terms for using RankMatrix, including data sources, prediction limitations, the independent-service disclaimer and liability notices.

The short version

RankMatrix is a free, independent planning tool. It displays published historical cutoff and seat information alongside its own comparisons and explanations. Predictor results are not admission offers or guarantees. By using the site you agree to the terms below.

1. About RankMatrix

RankMatrix is operated by Divyansh Agarwal as an independent project ( “RankMatrix”, “we”, “us”). The site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by JoSAA, JEE, NTA, the IITs, NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, or any government body. References to those names are descriptive, not promotional.

2. Published facts and independent tools

Our JoSAA dataset contains published opening and closing ranks, seat counts, and institute and programme details. These factual records are extracted from public JoSAA publications; they do not contain candidate names, roll numbers, application IDs, or individual candidates' personal rank records. NIRF figures come from NIRF as a separate source. Stored coverage may be incomplete or out of date.

Search, comparisons, predictor results, and choice-list features are developed by RankMatrix using its stored dataset. They do not run JoSAA's tools or seat-allocation system. RankMatrix cannot register candidates, submit official choices, or allocate seats. Ranks you enter into the predictor are processed separately as described in our privacy policy.

You must verify the latest schedule, eligibility, rules, and cutoffs on the official JoSAA website before making any admission decision. Where data on RankMatrix differs from JoSAA's official source, the official source governs.

3. Historical comparisons, no admission guarantee

The JEE college and branch predictor compares the inputs you provide with historical opening and closing ranks. It does not forecast future cutoffs, calculate admission probabilities, or reproduce JoSAA's allocation process. Actual allocations depend on current seats, rules, and applicants' ranks and choices. Treat predictor output as a starting point for research, not as a promise of admission. See the methodology page for what the predictor does and does not do.

4. Permitted use

You can use RankMatrix to research and plan your own JoSAA participation, share specific pages with friends or family, and link to it from your own site or social profile. You must not:

  • Scrape or bulk-download the site in a way that overloads the service.
  • Republish or resell the site's data as if it were your own, or strip the source attribution.
  • Use the site or its outputs to mislead candidates — for example, to falsely guarantee admission as part of a paid service.
  • Attempt to break, probe, or interfere with the site's security or hosting.

Microsoft Azure hosts the RankMatrix website, backend and database. Retained Vercel deployments may also be accessible. Google Analytics is used for usage measurement; Google AdSense is the intended advertising provider, with ad serving dependent on approval and deployment settings. See the privacy policy for provider data practices and available privacy choices.

The site links to external resources, including the official JoSAA, JEE, and NTA websites. RankMatrix does not control those sites and is not responsible for their content, policies, or availability.

6. Intellectual property

The published factual records are attributed to JoSAA and NIRF as appropriate. RankMatrix does not claim ownership of those underlying facts. The site design, original written content (guides, explanations, FAQ entries), code, and visual elements are the work of the maker and protected by applicable copyright. You may quote or link short excerpts with attribution; please do not copy whole guides verbatim onto other sites.

7. No warranties

RankMatrix is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The maker does not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every threat, or that any specific information will be complete, accurate, or up to date for your situation.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, RankMatrix and its maker are not liable for any loss or damage — including loss of admission opportunity, financial loss, or any indirect or consequential loss — arising from your use of the site, reliance on its data or predictions, or inability to access it. If you make an admission decision, you do so on the basis of your own judgement and the official JoSAA portal, not RankMatrix.

9. Changes to the site and these terms

The site evolves. Features may be added, modified, or removed. These terms may be updated to reflect changes in services, applicable law, or operational reality. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated “Updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes that cannot be resolved by direct contact will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at the maker's primary place of residence in India.

11. Contact

Questions about these terms can be sent to a.divyansh.25@gmail.com, or via the channels listed on the contact page.
