01 — Going in blind

Going in blind.

The data exists. Five years of cutoffs, four hundred colleges, every CAP round — all public. But between forum noise, government PDFs that read like tax forms, and a counselling window measured in days, it never quite reaches the student. So they decide in the dark.

01

Stale Google threads.

Forum answers from three years ago, written by anonymous strangers, with cutoffs that stopped being true the year they were posted.

02
"cutoff was 92, I heard" — 2023

Word-of-mouth wisdom.

Older cousins, school seniors, neighbourhood uncles. Well-meaning, two years out of date, and never quite about your category or region.

03

Unreadable portals.

Government data is public. It's also buried under PDFs, drop-downs, and category codes that never explain probability.

04
3 days left

And the clock.

Counselling deadlines are days — not weeks. Everyone panics. Parents more than students.

02 — How it works

Three steps. Thirty seconds.

HallTicket is not a forum, not a counsellor, and not a form with twenty fields. It's one screen, one calculation, and one honest list of colleges.

01

Enter your profile.

Percentile, category, exam (JEE or MH-CET), home region, branch preferences. Four fields. Done.

02

We run the numbers.

Your profile gets matched against every CAP round from the last five years — across 400+ colleges and every eligible branch.

03

You get the answer.

Colleges grouped into Strong · Likely · Reach — each with five-year cutoff history so you trust what you see.

03 — The answer

What "where you stand" actually looks like.

One calm heatmap.

Every row is a college. Every column is a course. Every cell is your admission likelihood — computed from five years of real cutoffs across every CAP round. Green means you're likely in. Red means you probably aren't. The number is the only thing between you and a decision.

04 — For parents

Built for the kitchen-table conversation.

"It finally told us something straight. No sales pitch, no fear — just the colleges that made sense for our son."

You already know the stakes. You just want a list you can trust, on a device you already have, without signing up for a counselling package.

HallTicket shows the same answer to you and your child — with the same five years of data behind every row. No upsell. No "premium tier". No fear as a feature.

Read a college's five-year cutoff history together. Decide together. That's the whole thing.

05 — Team

Built by parents. Shipped by people who care.

Two founders who went through engineering admissions for their own children in 2025 — and a small engineering team turning what they learned into the tool every family deserves.

CEO & CTO · Co-founders

Sagar and Hrishi previously co-founded CarIQ, India's first connected-car platform — acquired by Varroc Engineering (NSE-listed). In 2025, both navigated the engineering admissions process for their own children, lived the chaos of forums, spreadsheets, and conflicting advice, and turned that experience into HallTicket. Twenty-five years each of building, shipping, and now solving the problem they wish someone had solved for them.

"We watched our own kids go through it. The answer was already in the data — we just had to put it in front of them."

07 — From families

The first thing people say is relief.

We spent three weeks on WhatsApp groups getting different answers. HallTicket gave us twelve colleges in thirty seconds — with the cutoffs behind each one.

The Strong / Likely / Reach split is honest in a way counsellors never are. We knew exactly which applications mattered.

09 — Questions

Things you're probably wondering.

Why is HallTicket free?+

We're new. Counselling decisions are not the moment to ask a family to take a chance on an unproven tool — they have one cycle to get this right. So we're keeping every feature open for the 2026 applicants while we earn the trust. Talk about pricing later, after the product has done its job for enough families to vouch for it.

Why does a decimal matter?+

On the margin of a CAP-round cutoff, 97 and 97.82 can be the difference between Strong and Reach for the same college. HallTicket takes your exact percentile, including decimals, so the list you see reflects the number you actually got.

Where does the data come from?+

Publicly-released Maharashtra DTE CAP-round cutoffs for the last five years (2021–2025), across every eligible college, branch, and category. We clean it, structure it, and run your percentile against it.

Does HallTicket work for JEE and MH-CET?+

Yes — both. We map your percentile to the relevant CAP-round allocations for your exam and category.

What does Strong / Likely / Reach actually mean?+

Strong = your percentile cleared the cutoff in 4 of the last 5 years. Likely = 2–3. Reach = 0–1. We show the actual cutoffs beside each, so you can judge for yourself.

Do you replace a counsellor?+

No — and we're not trying to. Counsellors do their best work when a family arrives with a shortlist and a sense of where they stand. We get you to that starting line. The conversation about which college, which city, which branch — that's still better with a human, and we'd rather make their hour with you more useful than replace it.

When will it be live?+

The app is live at app.hallticket.in — log on, enter your percentile, see where you stand.
