So your PCM score is 255/300, which is excellent around 85%, and in KCET, you scored 74/180. Now, KCET ranks are calculated using a 50:50 weightage of your PCM marks in boards and KCET score.

Here’s how it roughly works:

Your PCM board percentage: 255/300 = 85%

KCET score: 74/180 = ~41.11%

These two are combined for the final ranking. Based on past trends, students with a similar profile usually fall somewhere around the 30,000 to 45,000 rank range in KCET. Of course, this also depends on the difficulty of the paper, number of applicants, and overall competition in that year.

With this rank range, you have chances in good colleges in Karnataka, especially in branches like Civil, EEE, ECE, or even CSE in lesser-known but reputed colleges.

Dear Candidate,
With 71 marks in KCET 2025 and 230 marks in PCM from your state board , your expected rank is approximately between 40,000 and 55,000.

A score of 64 in KCET, combined with your 88% in PCM, will likely place your rank in the 50,000 to 70,000 range.

While your score may not guarantee admission to top-tier colleges with strong campus placement records (like RVCE, BMSCE, or PES University), it is still possible to secure seats in other good private colleges in Karnataka like Bangalore Institute of Technology, M.V.J. College of Engineering, Ghousia Engineering College, S. J. C. Institute of Technology.

Hello,

Yes, your CBSE Class 12 improvement marks will be considered during KCET counselling , provided you meet the eligibility criteria and submit your updated marks to the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) within the specified timeframe.

KEA typically considers the best of your marks for ranking purposes. So, if your improvement marks are higher, they will be used for calculating your KCET rank.

However, it's crucial to ensure that your improved marks are available before the counselling process begins, as delays might affect your participation in the initial rounds.

Hope it helps !

With KCET Rank of 35k your chances of getting Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in top government or Tier 1 colleges in Karnataka are limited, but you can try to get in some decent private colleges, especially in later rounds of counselling, CSE is highly competitive, and even less colleges often close at <20k rank. Management Quota and higher fee categories may also be options to get better colleges.

With 284 marks in boards and 98 in KCET, the possibility of you getting a seat in a government engineering college is very high.

Why?

Farm ST and female ST applicants are offered significant reservation seats through KEA.

Having 284/300 grade is about 94.6% and helps enhance your merit.

Given that you scored very high in your board exams and category, ~54% is considered a decent KCET Score.

Estimated Rank:

Due to previous year patterns, you could assume a KCET rank between 40,000–55,000 (approx). Government colleges accept this quota for students from the ST group, mainly in:

The three branches are Civil, Mechanical, ECE.

For example, the Government Engineering College (in Raichur, Haveri and Hassan)

Remember to take part in all the counselling sessions and list a variety of possible colleges.
