Category rank in IIT admissions is separate from general rank, based on your percentile within your own category. It's meant to ensure seats for SC/ST/OBC, but let's be real—those of us without kota coaching start that race far behind the mark. My cousin got in through the SC quota, but only after his third attempt and a loan for test series. So the 'how' is in the brochure, but the 'why it's tough' is in my dying laptop battery during online mocks that keep freezing.
