Acceptance of Terms and Conditions

Welcome to iLoveMarks (https://ilovemarks.com), founded and directed by Rakesh Joshi (rjrapture@gmail.com). By accessing, browsing, or utilizing any calculation tools, score estimators, rank predictors, or revision notes on this website, you explicitly acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Service.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms of Service, you must discontinue your use of the website immediately. These terms apply equally to individual students, parents, academic counselors, school educators, and university administrative staff.

Nature of Services and Educational Calculators

iLoveMarks provides free, browser-executed academic calculators designed to help Indian students navigate the complex Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), university grade point conversions, and entrance examination normalizations:

Primacy of Official University Transcripts and Grade Cards

Statutory Grade Card Disclaimer

Important Notice: While every calculation formula on iLoveMarks is derived directly from official government gazettes, Academic Council notifications, and Controller of Examinations circulars, the official Grade Card, Marksheet, or Degree Transcript issued by your respective University or Examination Board remains the sole legally binding document.

In the event of any typographical discrepancy, revised university ordinance, or retrospective rule change by an educational board, the physical/digital transcript signed by the Controller of Examinations supersedes any digital tool output.

Competitive Entrance Exam Rank Prediction Disclaimers

Users utilizing our entrance examination score and rank prediction models must acknowledge the inherent statistical characteristics of competitive examinations:

  • Statistical Estimates: Rank predictions are computed using multi-year empirical datasets, official normalization models (e.g., NTA multi-shift percentiles, KEA 50:50 standardized models, or CEE Kerala standardized Index Scores), and past opening/closing round trends.
  • Dynamic Year-on-Year Variations: Actual counseling cutoffs and All India Ranks vary annually based on total test-taker volume, difficulty shifts across exam sessions, seat matrix expansion, and category reservation modifications.
  • No Guarantee of Admission: A favorable prediction on iLoveMarks does not constitute a legal or contractual guarantee of admission into any institution (e.g., IITs, NITs, BITS Pilani, RVCE Bangalore, CET Trivandrum, or JNTU Hyderabad).

  2. Educational Citations and Hyperlinking: Schools, universities, academic counseling websites, and educational blogs are permitted to link directly to any tool or guide with clear anchor text attribution.
