Hello there,

With a KCET rank of 55176 and holding a Category 1 certificate, a low income certificate, and a 371(j) certificate, you may be eligible for government seat allotments under reservation in Karnataka. Based on previous years' trends, here is a general idea of the type of colleges where you might get admission in Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning branches:

1. You have a decent chance in tier-3 engineering colleges offering AI or ML under Category 1 reservation.

2. You may also get seats in newer government or aided colleges that have recently introduced AI/ML branches.

   Applications for Admissions are open.

3. Some private engineering colleges in rural or Hyderabad-Karnataka region under 371(j) reservation may offer you a seat.

4. Low-income and Category 1 status will help reduce your tuition fees in government quota seats.

Chances in top-tier colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, or MSRIT are very low for AI/ML at this rank. However, you can expect chances in colleges such as:

• PES College of Engineering, Mandya (under special category)

• KLE Technological University (rural seat chances)

• Bheemanna Khandre Institute of Technology, Bhalki

• Government Engineering Colleges in Raichur or Haveri

Your final allotment depends on seat availability, category cutoff for that year, and document verification status. You should participate in all rounds of KCET counselling to maximize your chances.

I would recommend you to use KCET College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
