MarsMate TS-EAPCET 2026 | College Predictor & Counselling Companion

1

Fill Your Student Profile Sidebar

Everything starts from the sidebar on the left. This is your profile — the predictor, option form, and fee calculator all use it automatically.

🎯
Rank or Marks mode: Toggle between "Use Rank" (enter your EAPCET rank directly) and "Use Marks" (enter your score out of 160 — your rank is auto-predicted from the table).
👤
Gender / Pool: General shows all colleges, Boys shows co-ed only, Girls shows all colleges plus women-only institutions. With Girls selected, you can also "Prioritize Women's Colleges First."
📋
Reservation Category: Choose your caste certificate category (OC, EWS, BC-A to BC-E, SC Group I–III, ST). This controls which cutoffs are used for predictions.
📍
Region Eligibility: OU Area if you studied in Hyderabad/Rangareddy/Medchal district (Osmania local area). Non-Local otherwise. OU-local students get 85% of seats reserved.
💰
Annual Family Income: Determines your fee reimbursement eligibility. Below ₹2L qualifies for the most benefits.
📚
TS Study Record: Check this if you've studied in Telangana for at least 4 of the last 7 years — required for fee reimbursement.

💡 The Fee Reimbursement badge at the bottom of the sidebar updates instantly as you change income and category — check it to know if you're eligible for ₹35,000–₹1,15,000/year.

Understand the College Predictor College Predictor Tab

The predictor shows colleges and branches where your rank has a realistic chance, using 2025 cutoffs from all 3 phases.

🟢
Safe Pick: Your rank is well below the cutoff — very high probability of admission in Phase 1 itself.
🔵
Good Bet: Your rank is at or near the cutoff — strong probability, especially across multiple phases.
🟡
Borderline: Your rank is slightly above the cutoff — possible if cutoffs ease in Phase 2 or Final Phase.
🔴
Reach: Cutoff is well below your rank — unlikely unless significant expansion happens.
↑↓→
Trend arrow next to cutoffs: ↑ means cutoff got harder (Phase 1 → Final); ↓ means easier; → means stable. Shows how competitive a seat became over phases.
⭐🥇🥈🥉
Quality tiers (Recommended sort): Elite, Premier, Good, Standard — ranked by placement outcomes (35%), NIRF rank (25%), NAAC grade (20%), and college type (10%).

💡 Use Rank Buffer (slider in the filter bar) to add ±N to your rank and see how results change — useful for planning if your 2026 rank shifts slightly.

Filter, Sort, and Narrow Results College Predictor Tab

Use the filter bar above the results to drill down to exactly what you want.

🔍
Search box: Search by college name, EAPCET code (e.g., CBIT), place, or district.
📊
Sort By: Switch between Recommended (default — best ROI first), Admission Chance, Tuition Fee (lowest first), Avg Package (highest first), NAAC Grade, or Estd. Year.
🌿
Branch filter: Click to pick specific branches (CSE, ECE, EEE…). Selected branches appear as draggable chips — drag them to set your priority order.
📍
District filter: Narrow to one or more districts (e.g., Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Warangal).
🏛
Type / Affiliation filters: Government vs Private vs Deemed; JNTUH vs OU vs KU vs Deemed.
🛏
Hostel / NAAC checkboxes: Quick toggle for hostels and NAAC A+ or above.
🔀
Preference Order toggle: College First groups results by college (top college → all your branches). Branch First groups by branch (top branch → all matching colleges). Both modes respect your branch priority order.
📋📊
Cards / Table toggle: Switch between visual college cards and a compact sortable table view.

💡 Click "Add All Filtered to Option Form" or "Sync to Option Form" in the filter bar to push your entire filtered list directly into the Option Form — a big time-saver.

Build Your Option Form Option Form Tab

The Option Form is your ranked preference list — the actual order you'll submit during TSCHE counselling. Priority #1 at the top means it's your most wanted seat.

➕
Add branches: Search the left panel for any college+branch combination. Click the "+" button to add it to your list on the right.
🃏
From Predictor cards: Click "Add Options" on any college card to add all its branches (sorted by cutoff) in one click.
↕
Reorder by drag: Drag items in the right panel up or down to set your priority. TSCHE will assign you the highest option in this list that your rank qualifies for.
🗑
Remove an option: Click the × button on any row to remove it from your list.
🖨
Print / Share: Use the Print button to get a printable copy. Use Share to send your option form via WhatsApp to parents or counsellors.

⚠️ Important: Always put your dream college+branch at position #1. Include 50–100 options covering Safe, Good Bet, and Borderline picks — the more options you enter, the safer you are.

5

Simulate Your Allotment Option Form Tab

Once your option list is ready, simulate what seat TSCHE is most likely to assign you.

▶
Click "Simulate Allotment" in the Option Form tab — the system scans your list top to bottom and returns the first seat where your rank is below or near the 2025 cutoff.
📊
Phase-wise probability is shown for each branch: Phase 1, Phase 2, and Final Phase chances are color-coded (High / Medium / Low / Very Low).
🔁
Adjust and retry: If you don't like the simulated result, rearrange your list or add more options and simulate again.

💡 The simulation uses 2025 Final Phase cutoffs as a baseline. Real 2026 cutoffs may shift — treat this as a planning tool, not a guaranteed prediction.

6

Compare Colleges Side-by-Side Compare Tab

Use the Compare tab to place up to 4 colleges side by side and make informed decisions.

⊟
Add to compare: In the College Predictor, click the compare icon (⊟) on any college card. The badge on the Compare tab shows how many are selected.
📋
Comparison table covers: Location, college type, affiliation, NAAC grade, founding year, hostel availability, 1-year and total B.Tech fee, average placement, highest package, top recruiters, and available branches.
✕
Remove a college: Click "Remove" under a college header in the compare table to deselect it.

Info Hub: Official links (TSCHE, TSSP, NAAC), FAQ, and key eligibility requirements at a glance.

Key Tips & Reminders

📅 2025 cutoffs are the baseline

All predictions use 2025 Final Phase data. 2026 cutoffs will vary. Use this tool for planning, not as an official prediction.

📝 Enter options for all 3 phases

Don't stop after Phase 1. Cutoffs usually ease in Phase 2 and Final Phase — better seats may open up.

💾 Your data is auto-saved

Your option form and checklist are saved in your browser automatically. Revisit anytime — no login needed.

🔗 Share your search easily

Click the Share button in the Predictor tab to copy a link encoding your rank, category, and filters. Send it to parents or counsellors.

💸 Check fee reimbursement first

If your income is below ₹2L and you studied in TS, you likely qualify for ₹35,000–₹1,15,000/year off your tuition. Check the Counselling → Fee Calculator.

🏛 Prefer Government colleges

Government / constituent colleges (UCE, JNTUH) have much lower fees and fee reimbursement applies fully. Keep them high in your option form.
