Why does SM sometimes have a tighter last rank than my category?
Because allotment first fills open State Merit seats by rank, then reservation seats. A category column like EZ shows the last rank among candidates who used an Ezhava reservation seat, which is normally more relaxed than SM. If your rank beats the SM last rank, you take the seat on pure merit without touching your community quota.
