Closing rank is the BCECE rank of the last candidate who got a seat in that category in that BCECE [Engineering] round. Your rank has to be the same as or smaller than the closing rank to have a chance. Each round lists only the seats allotted in that round, so later rounds can show fewer programmes.
BCECEB fills the seats left after UGEAC through BCECE [Engineering] counselling on the rank in its own entrance test, BCECE (PCM group). UR seats show the UR (general) merit rank; seats of the other categories (EWS, BC, EBC, SC, ST, RCG for girls of the backward classes, DQ for persons with disabilities, SMQ for wards of servicemen) show the rank in that category's merit list. (W) marks the women's third of each category and TFW the supernumerary tuition fee waiver seats. The second round list covers the seats held after rounds 1 and 2.
