# Editorial dataset: compiled from official starting pages; not survey data.
# Version: 2026 admission cycle
# Editorially reviewed on: 11 October 2026
# Record status: source-mapped-not-independently-verified
# Source review method: The official authority or admissions starting page linked for each route was opened during editorial review and checked for the relevant current-cycle document or route context.
# Source review limitation: It does not verify one institute, state, category, marks, age, domicile or year-specific admission outcome for every student.
# Verification gap: Official starting pages are linked, but each exact institute, state, category, marks, age, domicile and year-specific rule still requires human checking before an admission claim.
