Cut off helpline is a project from FUEL to help Class X (Class 10th or SSC) and Class XII (Class 12th or HSC) students find which colleges are they eligible to get admission through the centralised admission process, based on their marks in their board exams and entrance tests.

Admissions to professional courses like engineering, management, medical, pharmacy etc and Class 11 colleges in some cities, after board exams are conducted through entrance exams like MH-CET or IIT  and centralised admission processes. After students recieve their marks of the entrance tests, they have to apply for admission to these courses through the centralised admission processes. To claim admission through the centralised process, students have to specify upto 100 preferences of colleges in the option form. The computer aided system allots them one college out of these preferences, if and only if that student has secured marks more than the cut off marks of that college

Cut off marks of colleges are not openly available. Students have no idea of which colleges they can be sure of getting admission to and apply for any colleges on their own perception. Many students lose out out on good colleges and land up in colleges that are not their first choices. So students need to know the right colleges before they fill up their option forms. Taking into consideration these problems, FUEL NGO has developed the cut off software to help students know exactly which are the best colleges for themselves. Students can use the software to find out colleges where could could be reasonably assured of getting admission to. Just enter your marks, other details and simply walk away with a print out off all the colleges
