hi,

With your son’s KCET rank of 26,099, getting a seat in Electronics and Communication Engineering at KLS Gogte Institute might be difficult. Last year, the closing rank for that branch was around 19,000 to 23,000, which is better than his rank.

However, he can still try for counselling and see if any seats are left in later rounds. It’s also a good idea to consider other branches like Electrical Engineering, where the cutoffs are usually higher and might match his rank.

Make sure to complete the counselling registration on the official KEA website and keep checking for seat allotment updates. If this college doesn’t work out, you can look at other colleges or management quota options as a backup.

HEY THERE!!

1. If you secure admission to Computer Science and Engineering at NMIT through KCET in 2025, the annual tuition fee stands at approximately INR 83,526.
2. This amount is notably less than what is charged under the management or COMEDK quotas, where fees are considerably higher.
3. It’s important to note that there may be additional university or miscellaneous fees, but the primary tuition for those admitted via KCET remains around INR 83,526 per year.

With an SC category rank of around 80,000 for Veterinary Science in Karnataka (Holeya girl, non-agriculture quota), it is very difficult to get a seat in the Hyderabad-Karnataka (HK) region in the early rounds. Most seats are filled by candidates with better ranks. You might get a chance only in the last rounds if some seats remain vacant. Make sure to attend all counselling rounds and keep checking the official KCET updates for vacant seats.

If you have a KCET rank of around 70,000 in BSc Agriculture from the SC category (Holeya girl) with HK region reservation, getting a government seat is tough but still possible. The HK region reservation helps, but seats are limited and competition is high. You should participate in all counselling rounds and keep checking official KCET updates. Also, fill your choices carefully and stay ready for any seat that may become vacant in later rounds.

To determine your chances of getting a government college through KCET, let's look at the KCET rank calculation and previous year's cutoff trends.

KCET rank is calculated based on both KCET scores and PU (PU PCM aggregate) scores. The rank formula is:

KCET Rank = (300 - KCET PCM aggregate) + (300 - PU PCM aggregate)

With your KCET rank being 166563, it's challenging to predict your chances without knowing the specific cutoff trends for the current year and the colleges you're interested in.

However, here are some general steps you can take:

1. Check the official KEAM counseling website for updates on seat allocation and counseling schedules.

2. Look up previous year's cutoff ranks for government colleges in Karnataka.

3. Consider factors like category (General, OBC, SC/ST, etc.) and region-specific colleges.

If you'd like more specific guidance or help with calculating your chances, please provide:

1. Your KCET score

2. Your PU PCM aggregate score

3. Your category (if applicable)

This will help me provide a more tailored response.

Hello Raghav! Well done on your accomplishment. I think you have the following options based on your ranks:

1. JEE Main Rank 5764 (General; Karnataka): CSE at NIT Trichy or Warangal is difficult at this rank in General. The good news is that you can get into NIT Surathkal CSE through Home State quota. Surathkal is one of the best NITs for CSE and is at par with Trichy and Warangal in terms of placement.
2. KCET Rank 165 : This is a good rank. You should be able to get CSE in any of the top colleges in Karnataka - RVCE, BMSCE, or MSRIT. These colleges also have good placements and reputations.
3. VITEEE Rank 605: With this rank you can easily get CSE at VIT Vellore (including preferred categories). But, NIT Surathkal and top KCET colleges (RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT) have generally more reputation than VIT.
4. JEE Advanced and BITSAT : If you do well in JEE Advanced, then old IITs or IIT-Hyderabad would be worth targeting. BITS Pilani CSE is also a very good option, it is as good as old NITs and better than some IITs.
