Ah, IIT admission ma, they set aside certain seats for SC, ST, OBC, EWS categories. Category rank is your All India Rank, but filtered to see your position only within your own category for those reserved seats.
But you know, even with a good general rank, competition is so fierce it feels like its own category.
From my life, my AIR was high, but seeing friends from reserved categories with lower AIRs get into better branches—it makes you realize the system is about representation, not just the single number. We're all studying in the same labs, anyway.
