Counselling strategy for 2026
- New AI / M&C rows — place after your confirmed CSE targets but before generic mechanical safes if computing is your goal; first-year cutoffs are volatile.
- Removed programmes — delete stale 2025 PDF rows from mock lists; they will not appear in the live choice filler.
- Renamed only — no rank advantage; verify spelling matches the official dropdown exactly.
- GFTI expansions — strong backup layer for 60k–1.2L rank bands; check hostel and fee circulars independently.
