DTU - Delhi Technological University

Since, 27% of the total seats are reserved for OBC-NCL Category, so of course, Your category rank will be used in order to offer You a reserved seat, but in the cutoff lists, the CRL Rank is mentioned so that everybody has an idea that upto which rank has been a particular branch offered, to remove any confusion. Otherwise if they mention Your category rank in the list, which is say, 8000, then the candidate who has a CRL Rank of 8000 will have confusion and approach the institute for confirmation. In order to avoid this large scale confusion, they mention the CRL Rank which is different for everyone, but since they have 27% seats reserved for You people, they use it to offer You seats as it is easier for them to distinguish reserved candidates through categorical ranks.
