The #1 Mistake Students Make

It's called the Auto-Freeze Trap. Understanding this rule is the first step to a successful admission.

The Golden Rule

Never put a "Safe" college as your #1 choice. If you get it, you are Auto-Frozen—meaning you cannot upgrade to better colleges in later rounds.

❌ The Trap

Your choices:
1
Random College - CSE
Cutoff: 85 percentile
2
COEP - Computer Science
Cutoff: 99.5 percentile
3
VJTI - IT
Cutoff: 99.2 percentile
Auto-Freeze triggered!

You get Random College. Better options locked forever.

✅ The Smart Way

Optimized order:
1
COEP - Computer Science
🌟 Dream Choice
2
VJTI - IT
📊 Match Choice
3
WCE - Computer Science
🛡️ Safe Choice
Best possible outcome!

You get the highest option you qualify for.
