Six questions. Three matched programmes.

What are you actually after?
This is the single biggest fork in the catalogue, so it is worth a moment. A certification adds a capability; a degree changes what you are formally qualified for.

How it works
The scoring is published, not hidden
There is no sponsorship, no rotation and no randomness in this tool. Every programme starts at zero and earns points against your six answers; the three highest scores are shown, ties broken by learner rating.
| Criterion | Points |
|---|---|
Degree or certification The biggest fork, so the heaviest weight. | 30 |
Field or domain Adjacent fields score just under half. | 25 |
Budget band Slightly over budget still scores, at 40%. | 20 |
Experience fit Cohort ranges, taken from the institute. | 15 |
Time you can commit Measured against programme length. | 15 |
Institute type IIM, IIT and IISc, global, or open to any. | 15 |
| Maximum score | 120 |
The match percentage you see is simply the programme’s score divided by 120. A 100% match is possible and unremarkable; so is a shortlist where the best fit is 70%, which usually means one of your answers is unusual for the catalogue.
Assumptions worth knowing
- Fees are quoted before GST and before any scholarship or waiver, so a programme just outside your band may well land inside it.
- Programme durations are read from the published length; where a range is given, the midpoint is used.
- Experience fit uses the cohort range the institute publishes. Being outside it is not disqualifying — admissions teams make exceptions on profile.
- Certifications from iAdmit-run programmes carry no partner institute, so they only surface when you are open to any institute.
What a match percentage is not
It is a measure of fit with six answers you gave in about ninety seconds. It says nothing about the quality of the teaching, the strength of the cohort, or whether you will finish. No outcome is promised here, and no admission is implied — the institute decides that, on your full profile.
Next step
Send the shortlist to a counsellor
Three matched programmes is a useful place to start a conversation and a poor place to end one. A counsellor will check eligibility, explain the differences the scoring cannot see, and tell you plainly if none of the three is right.
Eligibility, checked properly
Before you pay an application fee, not after.
The differences a score misses
Faculty, cohort composition, campus immersion, alumni access.
Financing
Instalments, no-cost EMI and the waivers you actually qualify for.
