With a PCM score of 281 and a KCET score of 71, your expected rank in the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) would likely fall between 5,501 and 10,000. A score of 71 in KCET generally correlates to a rank in this range, according to KCET marks vs rank analysis.

You scored 281 in PCM (out of 300) and 71 in KCET (out of 180). KCET ranks are calculated by giving equal weight to both.

Your average score (based on PCM and KCET) is around 66.5%. With that, your expected rank might fall between 35,000 and 50,000.

KCET Mark vs Rank 2025

Hi aspirant,

KCCET uses a 50:50 weightage ratio to determine student rankings, with 50% of your rank based on your board exam marks and 50% based on your KCET score.

You can calculate your score yourself, but for a more precise rank, it is recommended to visit the Career 360 KCET rank predictor.

Here is the direct link to the rank predictor.

Hello Aspirant,

If your JEE Main rank is approx. 5 lakh but board exam marks are good (85–90% and above), you also have decent options based on your choice:

1. State-Level Counseling (e.g., TS EAMCET, MHT CET, WBJEE, etc.): A lot of state engineering colleges and private engineering colleges provide admission on board marks or state-level exams. Good board marks can improve your chances of securing a decent branch in state engineering colleges.
2. Private Universities (Board-Merit Based): Shiv Nadar University, Ashoka University (for science), Amity University, VIT (through VITEEE or direct admission), SRM, Manipal, UPES (some have individual exams or accept board merit)
3. CUET-Based Colleges (for Science/Math degrees): If you're willing to go for B.Sc. or other similar degrees, well-scoring CUET + board marks can secure you a seat in elite central universities.

Focus on universities where board scores matter, and apply early. Look into direct admission options, scholarships, and consider re-attempting JEE if you’re targeting top NITs/IITs.

If you have scored 195 out of 300 in your board PCM subjects and 51 out of 180 in KCET, here is a detailed explanation:

• KCET Rank Calculation:
  KCET engineering rank is determined by giving 50% weightage to your board marks (PCM) and 50% weightage to your KCET PCM marks . Both are calculated together to determine the final ranking.

• Performance Analysis:

  • Board Marks:
    195 out of 300 equals 65% in PCM subjects.

  • KCET Marks:
    51 out of 180 means you have a moderate score.

• Expected Rank Range (Approximate):

  • With these marks, your expected KCET engineering rank could fall somewhere around 50,000 to 80,000 range.

  • This is only a rough prediction and actual rank may vary slightly depending on the difficulty level of the exam, number of candidates, and your category (if any reservation is applicable).

• Admission Chances:

  • You may get admission into private engineering colleges in Karnataka under the general or management quota.

  • For government colleges or top courses like Computer Science, Electronics, Mechanical, your chances may be lower.

  • You can also explore courses like Civil, Biotechnology, Information Science, or lesser demanded branches in reputed colleges.

• Important Advice:

  • Attend all rounds of KCET counseling (including casual vacancy and extended rounds).

  • Keep an option for private universities like REVA University, Presidency University, Acharya Institute, etc., where admission chances are good.

Conclusion:
With your board and KCET marks, you have a decent chance to get admission in good private colleges for engineering courses. Stay updated with the KCET counseling process and select your options wisely to maximize your opportunities.

With an OBC score of 81.9442194 in JEE Main 2025, you have a good chance of getting into VIT (VIT University), but it primarily depends on the specific course and campus you are aiming for.

Key Points:

VIT usually accepts JEE Main scores for admission, but their VITEEE (VIT Engineering Entrance Exam) is the primary admission test. Some branches and campuses may consider JEE Main scores, especially for students who performed well.

VIT's admission process is highly merit-based, and JEE Main scores are considered along with the VITEEE results.

You may have a chance in certain less competitive branches or in VIT Bhopal or VIT-AP campuses, where the cutoff may be relatively lower compared to VIT Vellore.

However, to be certain of admission without appearing for VITEEE, you'd need to check VIT's official admission guidelines for JEE Main score acceptance for the specific course you are interested in.

Hello there,

With a GATE 2025 score of 417 in DA (Data Science and Artificial Intelligence) and being from the OPEN category , your chances for M.Tech in AI / AI & DS / AI & ML / DS at top IITs are very limited , but you may have a chance in newer or interdisciplinary programs at IIITs, IIITDM, and a few NITs . Here's a breakdown:

Chances in IITs :

• Older IITs (IIT Bombay, Madras, Delhi, Kanpur, etc.): Unlikely. Their cutoffs for OPEN category in AI-related programs are typically 600+ in GATE score.
  
  

• Newer IITs (like IIT Bhilai, IIT Jammu, IIT Goa): Slight chance in interdisciplinary or niche programs, especially if seats remain vacant .
  
  Chances in NITs:

You have moderate chances for M.Tech in AI/ML/DS in:

• NIT Trichy

• NIT Surathkal

• NIT Silchar

• NIT Jalandhar

• NIT Nagaland (newer programs) You can check CCMT counselling for these.
  
  Chances in IIITs:

Your score is suitable for:

• IIITDM Kancheepuram – Yes , you have a fair chance for programs like:

  • M.Tech in Data Science

  • M.Tech in AI/ML (if offered)
    
    

• IIIT Hyderabad – Tough; they have separate admissions with a high bar.

• IIIT Bangalore – Unlikely with this score unless they consider DA paper with other criteria.
  
  Suggestions:

• Participate in CCMT 2025 counselling (for NITs, IIITs, GFTIs).

• Explore IIITDM Kancheepuram through their own admission portal or CCMT.

• Keep an eye on spot rounds/vacant seats in lesser-known institutes.

With a KCET score of 120 and a PCB score of 280/300, and if you belong to the 2A OBC category, you have a decent chance to get a veterinary seat in Karnataka. For colleges like Bidar or Hassan, the cutoff for 2A category is usually within 2000–3000 ranks. If your rank is good, you may get a government seat. You should definitely attend the counseling and keep both options open.

With a GATE CS score of 335 (OBC) :

• Unlikely to get Osmania University M.Tech in CS, IT, or Cyber Security via GATE (cutoffs are much higher, around 750).

• You can try through TS PGECET (Osmania accepts PGECET scores too).

• Consider other state universities or private colleges with lower GATE cutoffs.

• Prepare for TS PGECET for better chances in Cyber Security or IT at Osmania.
