Home-State Seats & State Counselling 2026 — How OGcollege Predictor Boosts Your Admission Chances
Table of content
Key Takeaway
The OGcollege College Predictor simplifies home-state and state-level counselling by displaying accurate NIT, IIIT, and GFTI seat predictions under state quota rules. Enter your percentile or rank, select your home state, and instantly see where you stand — all powered by verified JoSAA, CSAB, and state counselling data.
Why Home-State Seats Matter
Home-state quota offers a major advantage in NITs and GFTIs, where a portion of seats is reserved for students belonging to the same state or union territory.For instance, students from Rajasthan have better odds of securing seats at NIT Jaipur, while aspirants from Delhi benefit at NSUT or DTU under JAC Delhi counselling.
However, keeping track of these variations manually can be overwhelming — each state has its own admission authority, cutoff trends, and eligibility criteria.That’s why the OGcollege Predictor integrates all these parameters to give you a comprehensive, personalized prediction in seconds.
OGcollege Insight:
Nearly 52% of JEE Main qualifiers secure admission through home-state or state-level counselling routes — understanding this quota early can significantly increase your selection odds.
