Hello,

Achieving a rank of approximately 1.25 lakh in KCET 2025 makes securing admission in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI & ML) at premier engineering institutions in Karnataka quite difficult, particularly in popular colleges in Bangalore such as RVCE, MSRIT, BMSCE, or UVCE.

These colleges typically shut AI & ML admissions for the general category well before the 15,000–40,000 rank range. Nevertheless, if you are receptive to less competitive institutions (particularly in Tier 2 or Tier 3 cities in Karnataka), there may still be private colleges providing admission to AI & ML programs for higher ranks. It might not be your top choice, but it's a way .

Hope this helps. All the best!
