I don't understand this guys. On Mar. 29 there were around 2200 candidates over 451 in the pool. It has increased to 3350 in only 5 days?

@NikSharma01 @skg1988 @13nitinsharma

The snapshot is taken right in the beginning of the day i.e. midnight UTC whereas the draw happens during the day. The numbers seem to reconcile correctly:

Vacant slots on beginning of 29 Mar (midnight) : 1143

451+ candidates not given ITAs : ~180

(This is so because there are ~3600 candidates between 441 to 450 so simple average and continuity of density implies ~360 at 451. If these 360, approximately 180 would have gotten through and 180 are still left.

Number of days : 5.85 (they made us the entire day UTC on 3 April so 0.85 is factored in)

Average inflow of applications = (1143 + 180) / 5.85 = 226

The number 226 is in sync with the speed (222) we observed in the previous fortnight.
 
Probably a stupid question but I was wondering if there is a way to know when is the next draw?
There seems to be no pattern when I look at the latest 6 draws.

I can give you probabilities -

4/10 - 5 percent
4/15 - 3 percent
4/17 - 75 percent
4/18 - 2 percent
4/22 - 3 percent
4/24 - 10 percent
4/25 - 2 percent

Guys (@skg1988 @13nitinsharma ) - do you agree? :)

Well as per my assumptions, out of the inflow of the applications with 451+ points, was 2207 on March 29, which surely would have got the ITAs each out of the 3350. As a result 1143 ITAs were left. If those ITAs are also given to the same applicants with 451+ CRS. That means those applicants would have entered into the pool from March 30 to April 3. So it makes the average as below:
1143/5=228.6

Correct me if I'm wrong! @SeniorStakes @skg1988 @13nitinsharma
