Ans: HI TRIDEEP,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!
Based on your score in COMEDK, your expected rank for Shift 1 is between 18,000 and 33,000. Shift 1 was generally perceived as "easier" than Shift 2, which makes this rank range highly susceptible to rank inflation. More students typically scored within the 70–80 marks band during this session.
Rank Inflation Analysis
There is a high likelihood of rank inflation in this range due to the following reasons:
1. Shift Difficulty: Shift 1 (May 9) was reportedly easier than Shift 2, meaning more candidates likely achieved higher raw scores in your session. This could lower your normalized percentile compared to other students with the same raw marks.
2. Student Density: The 60–80 marks range is the most populated part of the score distribution. A difference of just 1-2 marks can shift your rank by several thousand positions.
3. No Negative Marking: The absence of negative marking in COMEDK encourages guessing, resulting in a higher concentration of students in the mid-score ranges, which further contributes to rank inflation.
If significant inflation occurs, your rank could shift by approximately 3,000 to 5,000 positions lower than historical averages for a score of 70 marks. This means you may have opportunities for lower-demand or specialized courses in top-tier colleges. ECT, IT, and Mechanical Engineering are possible at Dayananda Sagar College and BMS Institute of Technology.
Make sure to participate in the counseling process to achieve your goals.
All the best!
