Maargamitra

How this works

Every term used across this site is explained here in plain language.

  • Your Rank — what it is, and how it’s used.
  • Cutoff Rank — the number every chance label is compared against.
  • Your chances — Very Likely, Likely, Possible, A Stretch, Unlikely.
  • Hidden Gem — a different question from “can I get in.”
  • Known Gem – Not every strong programme is a Hidden Gem. When a subject scores well on both research quality and programme access, but selectivity is already very high, we call it a Known Gem instead — the strength lines up with how hard it already is to get in, rather than being a surprise nobody’s noticed.
  • Research profile terms — what the comparison tool’s fields mean.
  • How sure we are — confidence levels, and how current the data is.
  • What’s covered so far — and what isn’t yet.
  • About this platform — what Maargamitra is and how it’s built.
