Hello Poornima,

With a KCET rank of 70,666, admission to B.Tech in Data Science may be challenging in top government colleges due to high competition. However, you can consider the following options:

• Look for admission in state government or private engineering colleges that offer Data Science or related branches like Computer Science or Information Technology.

• Explore colleges with lower cutoff ranks within Karnataka state.

• Consider private universities that offer Data Science programs with manageable fees and good infrastructure.

• Keep an eye on the KCET counselling rounds, including spot rounds, for possible seat availability.

• Consider related branches like Computer Science or IT as alternatives if Data Science seats are limited.

Apply through the official KCET counselling process and check college-specific cutoffs and seat availability regularly.

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.
