HEY THERE!!!

• The KCET 2025 option entry process is anticipated to commence in July 2025, with the window likely extending through August.
• Precise dates will be published by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) on its official website.
• Following document verification, which is scheduled for June, candidates will be able to submit their college and course preferences online during the designated option entry period.
• It is advisable to monitor the KEA website regularly for updates and ensure that option entry is completed within the stipulated timeframe.

With a KCET rank of 46,000, your cousin has a fair chance of getting admission into AI & ML or Computer Science (CS) in some good private colleges in Bangalore under the government quota. Top colleges like RV, BMS, and MSRIT may be tough, but colleges like Acharya Institute, East West Institute, AMC Engineering, or T John College could be possible. It’s a good idea to apply to multiple colleges and check cutoffs in each counselling round for better chances.

Your son scored 42.33% in KCET and has an OBC category rank of 1,78,061. Yes, he is eligible for counselling because KCET allows students with minimum qualifying marks to apply. The next step is to register online on the official KCET counselling website when the registration starts. After registration, fill in the choice of colleges and courses carefully. Attend the document verification and seat allotment process as per schedule to secure a seat. Keep checking official updates regularly.

The KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test) 2024 cutoff marks for engineering colleges vary by institution and branch.

For instance, R.V. College of Engineering had a cutoff rank of 636 for Computer Science and Engineering in Round 1, while Siddaganga Institute of Technology had a cutoff rank of 7758 for the same branch in Round 1.

You can find detailed cutoff information for various colleges and branches in the official KCET 2024 cutoff PDFs released by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) .

hi,

With your son’s KCET rank of 26,099, getting a seat in Electronics and Communication Engineering at KLS Gogte Institute might be difficult. Last year, the closing rank for that branch was around 19,000 to 23,000, which is better than his rank.

However, he can still try for counselling and see if any seats are left in later rounds. It’s also a good idea to consider other branches like Electrical Engineering, where the cutoffs are usually higher and might match his rank.

Make sure to complete the counselling registration on the official KEA website and keep checking for seat allotment updates. If this college doesn’t work out, you can look at other colleges or management quota options as a backup.

HEY THERE!!

1. If you secure admission to Computer Science and Engineering at NMIT through KCET in 2025, the annual tuition fee stands at approximately INR 83,526.
2. This amount is notably less than what is charged under the management or COMEDK quotas, where fees are considerably higher.
3. It’s important to note that there may be additional university or miscellaneous fees, but the primary tuition for those admitted via KCET remains around INR 83,526 per year.

With an SC category rank of around 80,000 for Veterinary Science in Karnataka (Holeya girl, non-agriculture quota), it is very difficult to get a seat in the Hyderabad-Karnataka (HK) region in the early rounds. Most seats are filled by candidates with better ranks. You might get a chance only in the last rounds if some seats remain vacant. Make sure to attend all counselling rounds and keep checking the official KCET updates for vacant seats.

If you have a KCET rank of around 70,000 in BSc Agriculture from the SC category (Holeya girl) with HK region reservation, getting a government seat is tough but still possible. The HK region reservation helps, but seats are limited and competition is high. You should participate in all counselling rounds and keep checking official KCET updates. Also, fill your choices carefully and stay ready for any seat that may become vacant in later rounds.

To determine your chances of getting a government college through KCET, let's look at the KCET rank calculation and previous year's cutoff trends.

KCET rank is calculated based on both KCET scores and PU (PU PCM aggregate) scores. The rank formula is:

KCET Rank = (300 - KCET PCM aggregate) + (300 - PU PCM aggregate)

With your KCET rank being 166563, it's challenging to predict your chances without knowing the specific cutoff trends for the current year and the colleges you're interested in.

However, here are some general steps you can take:

1. Check the official KEAM counseling website for updates on seat allocation and counseling schedules.

2. Look up previous year's cutoff ranks for government colleges in Karnataka.

3. Consider factors like category (General, OBC, SC/ST, etc.) and region-specific colleges.

If you'd like more specific guidance or help with calculating your chances, please provide:

1. Your KCET score

2. Your PU PCM aggregate score

3. Your category (if applicable)

This will help me provide a more tailored response.

With a KCET rank of 17,000, getting AI or AI&ML in the very top-tier Karnataka colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT will be difficult under the general category, as their AI branches usually close within the top 6–8K ranks. However, you have a realistic shot at mid-to-upper tier colleges that still have good placements in AI-related streams.

Top colleges in Karnataka offering AI/AI&ML where 17K rank might work (general category chances vary):

• SJCE Mysuru

• BMS Institute of Technology & Management (BMSIT) – maybe in later rounds

• JSS Academy of Technical Education, Bengaluru

• Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) – possible in later rounds

• Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (NMIT)

• Reva University

• CMR Institute of Technology

• New Horizon College of Engineering

• Acharya Institute of Technology

If you belong to a reserved category, your chances for higher-ranked colleges improve significantly. For general category, aim for these good mid-tier ones, and keep backups ready for round 2 and casual vacancy rounds.
