- Home State vs Other States
- Boys vs Girls
- Category (SC / ST / OBC-NCL / Defence / General)

1) First decide quota
The biggest split is Home State (74) vs Other States (37).
Your child competes inside the quota they belong to.

Real competition is within:
Quota + Category + Gender
Example: A Home State OBC-NCL boy is competing mainly for the 19 Home State OBC-NCL boys seats.

Fewer seats = tougher competition.
So your strategy should be:
- Higher accuracy
- Strong performance in Maths + English
