Facts:

1. 2024’s cutoff (4484) is irrelevant:

The 2025 seat expansion and addition of new programs significantly increased the final closing rank (4484 -> 8769), making 2025 a much better baseline for future predictions than 2024.

2. We have accurate 2025 and 2026 marks vs rank data so we if use that:

• 2025 final cutoff for Berhampur: ~118 marks -> rank 8769.
• The same 118 marks in the 2026 model yields rank ≈8652.

so even if the required score for admission stayed exactly the same, the closing rank would automatically shift to ~8650

3. Adjusting for known 2026 changes:

• more seats & 2 new institutes/programmes: These increase supply and disperse candidate preferences. They allow the last admitted student to have a slightly worse rank, moving the cutoff upward from the 8650 baseline. Empirical estimates for such moderate expansions add roughly 100‑200 ranks.
• Yield & withdrawal behaviour: Later counselling rounds always see some rank drift. If withdrawals are typical, the cutoff edges further up (optimistic). If candidates hold their seats more tightly, it stays closer to the baseline (pessimistic). These effects are bounded and unlikely to shift the cutoff by more than ±300 ranks from the adjusted baseline.

Final PREDICTION (for GEN) - last round - last rank to get seat:

Scenario	Adjustment	Final rank estimate
Pessimistic	Minimal seat expansion effect; fewer withdrawals → cutoff tightens	≈8450
Conservative	Only the marks‑model shift, no other changes	≈8650
Most likely	Seat expansion + normal late‑round drift	≈8800
Optimistic	Strong withdrawal drift and dispersion	≈9150

So we see 2026 has rank inflation at higher ranks.

Below previous year cutoffs it doesn't vary much.

At 10k rank: 114.4 (2026) vs 112.6 (2205)

At 12k rank: 110 (2026) vs 106 (2025)

Kinda things IAT want us to derive in exam pressure :(
