With a KCET rank around 2,00,000, in Bangalore you’ll mostly be looking at private/self-financed colleges in the later rounds. You likely won’t get top-tier ones like RV, BMS, or MSRIT, but you can get admission in smaller or mid-level institutes for branches other than CSE in most cases.

Some Bangalore options you could expect:

• Atria Institute of Technology (ECE, Mechanical, Civil)

• HKBK College of Engineering

• PES University – Electronic City Campus (non-CSE branches)

• East Point College of Engineering & Technology

• Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology

• AMC Engineering College

• City Engineering College

• Acharya Institute of Technology (in less competitive branches)

At this rank, you’ll have better chances in Mechanical, Civil, EEE, ECE rather than CSE/IT, unless you go through management quota. You should also watch for extended rounds where cutoffs relax and more branches open up.
