Dear Candidate,
With SC category KCET rank of 6578 , it is unlikely that you will secure a seat in the Computer Science and Engineering ( CSE ) branch at PES University in 2025.
Recent years closing ranks for CSE branch under the SC Quota at PES University have been much higher around 18,000 -  22,000 meaning candidates with ranks better than 18,000 were admitted .

Hey there! Since you have a KCET rank of 49000 and you come under SC/ST category, you have a very good chances of getting CSE or Information Science ( ISE) in top colleges. Reserved category seats have lower cutoffs, so your chances improve a lot. Here is the list of top colleges in Bangalore where you can get CSE/ISE;

• RV Institute of Technology and Management ( RVITM)
• BMS Institute of Technology ( BMSIT)
• Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering ( DSCE)
• Sir MVIT ( Sir M Visvesvarayya Institute of Technology)
• JSS Academy of technical education
• Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology
• RNS Institute of technology
• Acharya Institute of Technology

Based on the KCET 2024 cutoffs, you can get admission to Bapuji Institute of Engineering and Technology (BIET), Davanagere if your rank is within the required range. For popular branches like Computer Science Engineering, the closing rank was around 31,000. For other branches like Artificial Intelligence, Information Science, and Data Science, the cutoff was between 45,000 to 48,000. Less competitive branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering had higher cutoff ranks, going up to 2.7 lakh. These ranks may slightly change in 2025.

With a KCET rank of 198,999 and belonging to the SC category , securing admission to Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) on Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru, is highly unlikely.

DSCE KCET Cutoff Trends for SC Category

Based on the 2024 KCET Round 2 cutoffs , the closing ranks for SC category candidates at DSCE were as follows:

• Computer Science and Engineering : 28,318

• Artificial Intelligence : 30,795

• Information Science : 39,096

• Mechanical Engineering : 139,075

• Civil Engineering : 168,632 (https://www.collegedekho.com/colleges/dayananda-sagar-college-of-engineering-cutoff?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

These figures indicate that even the least competitive branches had closing ranks well below your current rank of 198,999.

With a KCET rank of 1,46,370, getting a Government quota seat in a private college for BTech in Cyber Security may be a little difficult, as this is a newer and more in-demand course. However, you might still get a seat in lesser-known or rural private colleges where the cutoff is higher (i.e., ranks are lower in demand). Keep an eye on all rounds of counselling, including extended rounds, as some seats may open up due to withdrawals.

HEY THERE!!!

• The KCET 2025 option entry process is anticipated to commence in July 2025, with the window likely extending through August.
• Precise dates will be published by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) on its official website.
• Following document verification, which is scheduled for June, candidates will be able to submit their college and course preferences online during the designated option entry period.
• It is advisable to monitor the KEA website regularly for updates and ensure that option entry is completed within the stipulated timeframe.

With a KCET rank of 46,000, your cousin has a fair chance of getting admission into AI & ML or Computer Science (CS) in some good private colleges in Bangalore under the government quota. Top colleges like RV, BMS, and MSRIT may be tough, but colleges like Acharya Institute, East West Institute, AMC Engineering, or T John College could be possible. It’s a good idea to apply to multiple colleges and check cutoffs in each counselling round for better chances.
