Key Takeaway

The OGcollege Predictor integrates multiple counselling systems - JoSAA, CSAB, IPU, WBJEE, UPTAC, and JAC Delhi/Chandigarh - into one unified dashboard. It helps you discover your eligible colleges across national and state-level admissions, ensuring you never miss a seat because of scattered data or separate cutoffs.

Why You Need a Multi-Counselling Strategy in 2026

After JEE Main results, most students focus only on JoSAA. However, top engineering seats are also available through CSAB special rounds and state-level systems like WBJEE (West Bengal), IPU (Delhi), and UPTAC (Uttar Pradesh).Ignoring them means ignoring thousands of high-quality seats - especially if your percentile is between 80–95.

The OGcollege Predictor allows you to explore all of these systems together, compare seat openings, and plan a comprehensive backup strategy.

Step-by-Step: How to Compare Multiple Counselling Systems in OGcollege Predictor

Step 1: Open the OGcollege Predictor Interface

Go to OGcollege.io/college-predictor.You’ll see the “Find Your Dream College” panel where you can:

  • Enter Percentile or Rank
  • Choose Category & Gender
  • Select Home State
  • Most importantly, use the Counselling Type Dropdown

Step 2: Choose a Counselling Type

The dropdown menu lets you select from multiple counselling systems, including:

  • JoSAA – for NITs, IIITs, GFTIs
  • CSAB – for special round upgrades and unfilled JoSAA seats
  • IPU – for Delhi-based universities
  • WBJEE – for West Bengal colleges
  • UPTAC – for Uttar Pradesh government and private engineering colleges
  • JAC Delhi & Chandigarh – for region-specific admissions

Once you select one, click “Find College.”

Step 3: View System-Specific Predictions

The results table dynamically updates based on your selection.

Step 4: Apply Branch & Home-State Filters

For deeper insights, use filters like:
