How it works
After every admission round, ACPC puts out a long table showing the marks and rank of the first and last student who got into each branch and college. That gives us a lot of real data points connecting marks to actual ranks.
We took the 2024 and 2025 tables and use them to figure out where your score would’ve landed. Since the 2025 paper was different from 2024, we don’t pick just one – we show you both, as a range, so you can see how much things can swing year to year. 2025 counts a bit more (67 %) because it’s the most recent.
What the range means
- Lower number – your rank if 2026 is closer to the year that was easier for your score.
- Higher number – your rank if 2026 is closer to the harder year.
- How wide the range is – tells you how shaky the estimate is. Scores in the middle (around 80–130) tend to have wider ranges. Scores at the very top or bottom are usually tighter.
How to actually use this
- Plan around the higher number. When you fill your ACPC preference list, assume you’ll get the worse rank in the range. Then keep a stretch option on top in case you’re lucky.
- Always compare rank to rank. When you check last year’s cutoffs for a college, look at the rank that got in, not the marks. The marks needed for a rank shift every year, the rank itself stays put.
- Read the branch-wise cutoffs guide next so you can match your rank to actual branches and colleges.
- Upload your OMR sheet for the real number. Drop your sheet here and we’ll calculate your marks ourselves – no addition mistakes – and show the same rank estimate, but locked in.
A few things to keep in mind
- This is not the official rank. That only comes from ACPC’s merit list at acpc.gujarat.gov.in.
- 2026 might just be a weird year. If the paper is harder or easier than both 2024 and 2025, your real rank could land outside the range we show. Around 80–130 marks especially, a few marks up or down can move you by thousands of ranks.
- If a bunch of people tie on the same marks, ACPC uses BE01, then BE02, then fewer negatives, then date of birth to break ties. We can’t guess where you’ll land inside a tie cluster.

Common questions
How accurate is this?
It’s built on ACPC’s own admission tables for 2024 and 2025 – thousands of real students, real ranks. For most mid-range scores it’s usually within about ±5 % of the actual rank. At the very top or very bottom it can be off by more, because the small changes in paper difficulty hit those scores harder.
Why a range and not just one number?
Because the same marks didn’t give the same rank in 2024 and 2025. In 2024 the paper was tougher, so 120 marks gave a much better rank than 120 in 2025. Showing both is more honest than averaging them and pretending we know exactly.
Is this the official rank?
No. The only official one is what ACPC publishes with their merit list. This is just an estimate so you can start thinking about your preferences before the result comes out.
What about negative marking?
You enter the final total – the number you’re left with after the +2 and −0.5 are already applied. If you don’t want to do the math yourself, just upload your OMR sheet and we’ll do it.
What if my marks are negative?
Totally possible – DDCET totals can go as low as around −50 if you get every answer wrong. The predictor accepts negative numbers and just puts you near the bottom of the ranks.
Can I share my predicted rank?
Yep. The URL has your marks in it (like
/rank-predictor?marks=120), so if you send a friend
that link, they’ll see the exact same estimate.
How is this different from the leaderboard rank?
The leaderboard rank only counts people who’ve uploaded their sheet here. This predictor uses ACPC’s data on everyone who actually appeared, so it’s a closer guess to your real ACPC rank.
Want exact marks and a locked-in rank?
Upload your DDCET OMR sheet and skip the manual addition. You’ll see BE01, BE02, total marks, the same rank estimate, and your live leaderboard position – in seconds.
