Hello,

Yes, if you already have the SNQ quota, it will continue in the next rounds also.

So, if you get PES RR CS (AI/ML) in the next round, it will also be allotted under the SNQ quota.

You don’t need to apply for SNQ again, it remains the same for all rounds.

Hope it helps!

Hey Param:)

Thanks for reaching out!

In KCET counselling, the SNQ quota seats are fixed separately for every college and branch, and they don't automatically transfer if you upgrade. Right now, you have BMSCE CSE under SNQ, but if you try for PES RR (AI/ML) in the next round, you will get the SNQ benefit there, only if that branch has SNQ seats left and your rank is high enough to secure one. Otherwise, even if you get the seat, it maybe alloted under regular quota and you won't get the tution fee waiver . That's why it's important to select choice-2 while trying for an update, so that your BMSCE SNQ seat remains safe if you don't get the new SNQ seat at PES RR. This way you won't lose the benefit you already hold.

Hope this helps!

With a KCET rank of 1,62,000, SC category, Clause A, SNQ quota, and an annual income of 75,000, your chances of getting into BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE) are very slim, especially for top branches like CSE, ECE, or IT.

BMSCE is one of the most sought-after colleges in Karnataka, and cutoffs for SC category even under SNQ typically close much earlier—often under 30,000 to 50,000 rank, depending on the branch and quota. SNQ seats are very limited and highly competitive since they offer fee waivers.

However, you can still participate in all rounds of counselling, including extended and casual vacancy rounds, where sometimes lower-ranked candidates do get seats in lesser-demand branches or if other candidates withdraw. Keep your preferences open and add multiple colleges in your option entry to maximize chances.
