If you scored 42/120 in a mock CLAT test for 2026, your estimated rank would be around 32,500 . This is based on a general distribution of marks. However, the actual rank can vary depending on the difficulty of the exam, the performance of other candidates, and the competition on the test day.

CLAT 2025 marks vs rank

Based on your expected KCET score of 120 out of 180 and a PU2 percentage of 65%, your rank will depend on the overall performance of other candidates in your category and region. However, with these figures, you could expect a rank in the range of 25,000–40,000, subject to variations.

With an OBC-NCL rank of 273576 in JEE Main, chances for top government colleges in Tamil Nadu like NIT Trichy are very low. However, you may get admission in some private engineering colleges under management or TFW quota. Check state counselling.

With a ST category rank of 1841 and female quota, getting IT at IIIT Allahabad is highly unlikely as the closing rank is usually much lower. Probability is below 10%. You may consider other IIITs or branches with higher chances.

With a JEE Main rank of 2,46,565 (assuming general category), chances at top NITs/IIITs are low. However, you can still consider:

Good Engineering Colleges That May Accept:

1. Private Colleges (through JEE Main or direct):

Shiv Nadar University, Noida

NIIT University, Neemrana

UPES Dehradun

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (some campuses)

SRM University (mainly through SRMJEEE, but JEE score also accepted)

Lovely Professional University (LPU)

2. State Colleges (via State Counseling):

TNEA (if Tamil Nadu domicile)

MHT CET (Maharashtra)

COMEDK (Karnataka, for private colleges)

With 91.76 percentile and an OBC-NCL rank of ~39,000, getting top NITs or IIITs is difficult, but you might still get lower branches in newer NITs or IIITs in later rounds.

Possible Options (in JoSAA Round 5-6 or CSAB Special Round):

NITs (Low-Demand Branches, Home State Advantage helps):

NIT Sikkim

NIT Meghalaya

NIT Mizoram

NIT Nagaland

NIT Arunachal Pradesh

IIITs (Less Competitive Ones):

IIIT Bhagalpur

IIIT Una

IIIT Kalyani

IIIT Manipur

IIIT agartala

With 56% in KCET + PCM, your estimated KCET rank would be around 60,000–80,000.

As an OBC female candidate, you have better chances in:

Private colleges for branches like ECE, Mechanical, or Civil.

Top branches (like CSE) may be tough at government colleges.

Participate in all counseling rounds for better options.

To get Computer Science (CSE) at PES University (Ring Road Campus) through KCET, you generally need a rank below 1,500 in the General Merit (GM) category.

For OBC Female candidates, the cutoff can be slightly relaxed — typically around 2,000 to 3,000 rank.

These cutoffs vary slightly every year, so aiming for a rank under 2,000 is ideal for a strong chance.

Predicting your exact veterinary rank in KCET is tricky because the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) calculates it using a combined score. They give equal weightage (50%) to your normalized KCET PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) marks out of 100 and 50% to your PCB percentage in the 12th standard

First, let's calculate your board percentage in PCB. Since your total board marks are 287 out of 300, your overall percentage is approximately 95.67%. Assuming your percentage in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology individually is also around this figure, your contribution from board marks to the ranking would be roughly 95.67. However, for KCET ranking, only the PCB marks are considered. If your PCB marks are slightly different from your overall percentage, this will affect the calculation.

Next, your KCET marks are 120 out of 180 in PCB. To bring this to a scale of 100 for the ranking, we calculate (120/180) * 100, which is approximately 66.67.

Now, to determine your composite score for veterinary ranking, we take 50% of your normalized KCET score and 50% of your PCB percentage. So, it would be (0.50 * 66.67) + (0.50 * 95.67) = 33.335 + 47.835 = 81.17.

Based on previous years' KCET rank versus composite score trends for veterinary admissions, a composite score around 81 could potentially place your rank within the range of a few hundred to a few thousand .

KCET Marks: 120

Board Marks: 287/300

Your estimated KCET Veterinary (B.V.Sc.) rank will be around 2500 to 4000.

This is based on past trends and your combined KCET and board performance.

Final rank may vary slightly after normalization.
