Hello Srusti,

If you are repeating 2nd PUC, focusing on both improving on board marks and KCET rank, don't be disappointed. In fact, repeating a year could add long term value and give you a better chance of getting into your preferred course or college. Remember to be consistent, prepare NCERT well, and practice the past papers regularly. Also remember to do board and KCET/NEET preparation at the same time. Remember, one disappointment cannot change your future, you will get another opportunity and you can comeback stronger.

All the best!

It's important to understand that your KCET rank is not solely determined by your KCET marks. The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) uses a specific formula that gives 50% weightage to your KCET PCB marks and 50% weightage to your 12th standard (or equivalent) PCB marks.

Therefore, to estimate your KCET rank for 2025, we need to consider both your scores:

• 12th PCB Marks: 263 / 300
• KCET PCB Marks: 88 / 180

Here's how the composite score for ranking is calculated:

1. Calculate the percentage of your 12th PCB marks: (263 / 300) * 100 = 87.67%

2. Calculate the percentage of your KCET PCB marks: (88 / 180) * 100 = 48.89%

3. Calculate the composite score (50% weightage for each): (87.67 + 48.89) / 2 = 68.28%

Now, to estimate your rank based on this composite score, we need to look at previous years' KCET marks vs. rank trends. Please note that these are just estimates based on past data , and the actual ranks for 2025 might vary depending on the overall performance of all candidates, the difficulty level of the exam, and the number of applicants.

Based on the general trends from previous KCET exams, a composite score of around 68 might place you in a rank range of somewhere between 40,000 to 60,000 or even higher.

It is unlikely you will get into PES University's AI/ML program with a KCET rank of 20,000.

For the general category, a KCET rank below 4,600 is generally needed to secure a seat in a B.Tech program at PES University, particularly for AI/ML or Computer Science

Hi aspirant,

KCCET uses a 50:50 weightage ratio to determine student rankings, with 50% of your rank based on your board exam marks and 50% based on your KCET score.

You can calculate your score yourself, but for a more precise rank, it is recommended to visit the Career 360 KCET rank predictor.

To obtain the 2024 institute ranking certificate, you may need to check with the issuing authority or organization that provided the 2023 certificate. Visit their official website and look for updates on the ranking certificate process. If required, log in to the institution’s portal and check for any notifications or downloadable documents. If the certificate is not available online, consider reaching out to their support team via email or helpline for further guidance on the necessary steps to follow.

Hello

Solution to Obtain the 2024 Ranking Certificate :

1. Check Official Website – Verify if the ranking list is published by NIRF, NAAC or the concerned authority.

2. Contact Ranking Authority – Email/call the agency that issued the 2023 certificate for updates.

3. Verify Submission Status – Ensure all required documents were submitted on time.

4. Check with Institute Admin – Confirm if the certificate was received by the Principal/Dean.

5. Look for Digital Download – Log in to the official portal to check if the certificate is available online.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.

When using a college predictor while belonging to the EWS category, you should always select "All India EWS ranking" instead of "All India ranking" as your ranking will be considered only within the EWS category for college predictions, giving you a more accurate result based on your reservation benefit.

Selecting the correct category (EWS) in the college predictor ensures the most accurate prediction of which colleges you are likely to get admission to based on your EWS reservation.

Talking about NIT K , is one among the top engineering institutions in India , so the expected cutoffs are also high

Considering that you are from EWS category and from HOME STATE here are the following cutoffs from all rounds . basically its starts from 1200 rank to 7000 rank .

there is no sectional cut-off for Maths and Physics in NITs, including NIT K the JEE Main cutoff for admission to NITs is calculated based on the overall aggregate marks across all three subjects (Maths, Physics, and Chemistry) without any separate sectional cut-off for individual subjects.

Hello,

To secure ECE at NITK (NIT Surathkal) under the EWS category (male, home state), you should focus on the following:

1. Target Percentile:

• Aim for 99+ percentile overall in JEE Mains.

2. Subject-wise Percentile Goals:

• Mathematics: Secure at least 95-97+ percentile. As mathematics often acts as a tiebreaker, prioritize this.
• Physics: Target 92-95+ percentile. Physics typically has moderate weight in ranking tiebreakers.
• Chemistry: Maintain 90-92+ percentile. Focus on NCERT and scoring topics.

3. Mock Test Scores:

• Mathematics: 65–75 marks out of 100.
• Physics: 55–65 marks out of 100.
• Chemistry: 50–60 marks out of 100.

4. Final Score Goal:

• An overall score of 200–220/300 in JEE Mains is realistic for ECE at NITK under the EWS category, considering trends.

Hope it helps !
