Predictor

1 A seat is a row of previous years' cutoffs: institute, branch, quota, category, seat pool, opening rank, closing rank

• institute_name
• branch_name
• allotted_quota
• category
• seat_pool
• opening_rank
• closing_rank

2 Your rank fits a seat when opening_rank ≤ rank ≤ closing_rank

The predictor page filters every row by category and seat pool, then keeps the seats whose opening rank is at most your rank and whose closing rank is at least your rank. It’s built with django-filter, and the results are sorted by institute name.

Run it locally

5 Django 3.1 · django-filter · MySQL

Kamikaze needs Python 3.9 or older, because Django 3.1 doesn’t run on newer versions. It reads its MySQL connection from /etc/mysql/my.cnf.

git clone https://github.com/repsick3r/kamikaze.git
cd kamikaze
python3.9 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install "django>=3.1,<3.2" "django-filter<2.5" mysqlclient
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py runserver 8000

Keep the port at 8000, because the menu links in the templates point to http://127.0.0.1:8000/. The predictor starts with no data, so add cutoff rows through Admin at /admin/.
