Hello Maruthi,

Yes, you have a decent possibility of securing a seat in Computer Science Engineering with a KCET rank of 77,100 under the ST category in some government or private colleges in Karnataka - especially the rural and newer institutions. This is under the assumption that you would likely not get into the top tier of colleges with such a rank. Using the KCET option entry portal and practicing mock allotments will allow you to be more strategic. KCET College Predictor 2025

Hello Akshaya,

If you're in Clause C in KCET - as you have undergone the document verification, you will probably first receive a verification slip without the secret key code. The secret key (also referred to as secret code) is generally sent to you via SMS/email later by KEA shortly after verification but before option entry begins.

You do not have to upload any separate document specifically for the secret code. Just keep your mobile number + Email ID active from your KCET application. You could also check the official site regularly if they provide any updates on further information on the secret codes in your messages.

With a KCET rank of around 77,100, getting Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in top government colleges will be tough, as CSE is highly competitive. But you can secure seats in government colleges not too popular or in private colleges which also provide CSE. Colleges like Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) affiliated private colleges or other private engineering institutes in Karnataka could be options. The safest thing to do is enrol in counselling, fill options of good private colleges, and have the backup branches in place, just in case. Focus on colleges with decent infrastructure and faculty for a good learning experience!

With KCET rank 1,27,000, you won’t get CSE/ECE in SIT Tumkur.

May get: Civil, Mechanical, or Biotechnology

CSE/ISE not possible

Let me know your category for better options.

For B.Sc. Agriculture at Mandya Agriculture College (KCET 2025):

General category cutoff: Up to 12,500 rank

OBC category: May get in up to 15,000 rank

Above this rank, chances are low

Hi dear candidate,

Getting a top tier college at the rank of 144299 in KCET exam is difficult like RVCE Bangalore, PES University, BMS College etc.

But it's not like you will not get any college at all, the top tier colleges are between the rank of 2,000 to 10,000. Rest for the rank above 1,00,000 Reva University, RNS Institute, BMS Institute etc. should be available to you.

BEST OF LUCK

Hello aspirant

Yes, BSc Bioinformatics is offered by several Karnataka colleges through KCET, and admission depends on your aggregate score and KCET rank.

To be eligible, you need to have passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology and scored at least 50 percent marks (45 percent in case of SC/ST) in these subjects combined.

In terms of KCET rank, seats for BSc Bioinformatics usually fill up fast as it's a popular course. Based on trends, a KCET rank between 5,000 and 20,000 (overall) could help you secure admission in reputable colleges through general category quota. Reserved category quotas may allow slightly higher ranks.

If you're confident of achieving around that rank, you'll likely have a good chance. Otherwise, you can also consider colleges that admit based on merit without KCET, which usually require the same 50 percent in biology, chemistry and physics.

Hope this helps!

The Karnataka Common Entrance Test, known as KCET, is an important exam for students who want to join engineering colleges in Karnataka. Based on the performance in this exam, students are given admission to top colleges. There are many well-known engineering colleges in Karnataka that students aim for through KCET. Some of the top choices include RV College of Engineering, BMS College of Engineering, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, PES University, and Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, all located in Bangalore. These colleges are famous for their good teaching, facilities, and excellent placements. Outside Bangalore, colleges like Siddaganga Institute of Technology in Tumkur and NMAM Institute of Technology in Udupi are also popular. These colleges offer different branches like computer science, electronics, mechanical, civil, and more. Students with high ranks usually get admission in computer science and electronics branches. To get admission in the best colleges, a student should aim for a high rank in KCET. The priority list is mostly based on student preferences, placement records, teaching quality, and college location. Choosing the right college during counselling is very important for the student’s future.

Alright, let’s cut to the chase.

KCET rank: 28,425

Category: 3A Rural

Dream: B.Tech CSE at KVG, Sullia

First up, here’s what went down last year:

At KVG, for good ol’ CSE, the general closing rank was about 105,000. That’s, like, miles behind your rank. AI branch? Even higher—somewhere between 101k and 217k, depending on how hot the branch was.

Now, you’re in the 3A Rural squad. That’s a legit bonus. It means your cut-off is usually a fair bit higher than the general one (read: easier to get in).

Let’s talk 3A cutoffs. Platform says top colleges want 3A Rural folks to clock somewhere between 12,300 and 12,600 for CSE. But KVG isn’t a “top dog” college; it’s more like a solid mid-tier option. So, the bar drops, and people with ranks between 30,000 and 50,000+ have made the cut there. Nice.

What’s it mean for you?

You’re sitting pretty. Your 28,425 is way, way above last year’s closing rank and sits comfortably within the “should get in” zone for KVG’s CSE, especially with your 3A Rural edge. Unless there’s some wild, never-seen-before surge in demand, you’re in safe territory.

So, what now?

1. Don’t sleep on the KEA rounds—show up for all three if you can, but the earlier, the better.

2. Put KVG CSE at the top when you’re picking college/course options.

3. Have a backup plan (maybe check out other colleges in that 30-50 thousand rank range… just in case the universe decides to be weird).

With that 3A Rural badge and your current rank, you’re looking at a very solid shot at Computer Science in KVG. Just don’t miss the deadlines and you’ll probably be packing your bags for Sullia soon. Good luck, and may the server bugs be ever in your favor!
