Dear student,

With a KCET agriculture practical rank of 8800 , you fall just outside the cutoff for top government colleges like GKVK Bengaluru and Dharwad , where the ranks typically close around 5200–8500. However, you still stand a good chance in other government colleges such as Mandya , Hassan , Shahapur , and Raichur , especially if you come under a reserved category .

Reserved categories like SC, ST, and OBC usually have higher closing ranks , which increases your chances significantly. So, if you belong to any of these, you may still get into decent government colleges.

In terms of private colleges , your rank is well within the usual admission range. These colleges generally accept higher ranks and have more available seats, so your chances there are very strong .

A few other things matter too—your category, number of applicants this year, and how many rounds of counselling you go through. If you don’t get a seat in the first round, don’t give up—many students get seats in the later rounds or spot counselling .
