About Shortlisted

The decision was always bigger than the entrance exam.

Every year, lakhs of Indian families spend two years and ₹3–6 lakhs on JEE coaching — then make the actual decision that determines what the coaching was for in 14 frantic days, using outdated PDFs, Quora threads from 2019, and advice from relatives who graduated 20 years ago. The mismatch is absurd. The data exists, on official portals, updated every round. The tools to use that data don't. So we built one.

What Shortlisted Does

The order of your choices is the decision.

We help students and their families build a counselling choice list for JEE Main, JEE Advanced, JoSAA, AP EAMCET, and TS EAMCET. The focus is on the part that actually decides where you end up: the order of your choices.

JoSAA gives you 99 slots. EAMCET gives you hundreds. The seat you get depends entirely on the order — but no existing tool walks you through it with current data and no agenda. We do.

Who We Are

IIT alumni who watched this problem repeat itself every year.

We're a small team based in Hyderabad. We went through JEE counselling ourselves, watched cousins, friends, and neighbours make the same avoidable mistakes year after year, and decided to stop talking about it and ship something.

The team is small and the focus is narrow on purpose. We're not a company yet — we're a product, built by people who needed it. A team page with photos and titles will come when we've earned the right to one.

What We Believe

Principles we won't compromise on.

Median, not maximum.

A college's "highest package" is a marketing number that's frequently one outlier graduate. We show medians, branch-wise, three-year trends, because that's the number you can plan a life around.

Official sources only.

Every cutoff, fee, and placement number comes from official portals — josaa.nic.in, eapcet.tsche.ac.in, eapcet-sche.aptonline.in. We cite our sources inline. When we don't have data, we say so; we don't estimate.

No commissions from any college.

We don't take referral fees, listing fees, or any payment from colleges or coaching centres. We're not an advertising platform pretending to be a recommendation engine.

Your data stays yours.

We don't share, sell, or pass your information to anyone. Details on the Privacy page.

Free during 2026.

We're not running a paid tier right now. If we ever do, anyone who signed up during the free 2026 launch will get permanent or grandfathered access to whatever they were using.
