KCET also covers allied health and paramedical courses like B.Sc. Nursing, Medical Lab Technology (MLT), Imaging Technology, and Hospital Administration. Admission depends on your KCET rank.

Government college cutoffs for B.Sc Nursing (general category) usually fall between 40,000 to 80,000 rank range.

Private/top colleges, like SDM College of Nursing (Dharwad) and Ramaiah Institute of Nursing (Bangalore), accept up to 60,000 to 65,000 KCET rank.

For B.Sc Medical Lab Technology and Imaging Technology at colleges like Karunadu College (Bangalore), cutoffs are around 13,000 to 20,000 rank.

Other private paramedical colleges  have cutoffs near 5,000 to 6,000 rank for Hospital Administration.

Yes, with a 41000 rank in KCET, you might get CS sub-branches like Information Science or Artificial Intelligence in some of the top 10 colleges, but it depends on category and seat availability.

Yes, you can check the previous year KCET Round 1 and Round 2 engineering cutoffs to get an idea of admission trends.

For example, in 2024, RV College of Engineering had a closing rank of around 419 for Computer Science and Engineering in both rounds. Ramaiah Institute of Technology saw a drop in closing rank for Computer Science from around 2330 in Round 1 to 1626 in Round 2. Siddaganga Institute of Technology had a closing rank of around 10899 for Computer Science in Round 1, which improved to around 7758 in Round 2.

These trends show that Round 2 often provides better chances of admission in many colleges, especially mid-level institutes. However, top colleges usually have consistent cutoffs across both rounds.

KCET 2025 counselling will start on June 27, 2025.

With a KCET Practical Rank of 8340 and a Theory Rank of 17145 , and considering your 3A category with rural quota , your chances of getting a BSc Forestry seat in Sirsi or Ponnampet are low to moderate .

In previous years, the BSc Forestry cutoff ranks for 3A Rural Girls in Sirsi and Ponnampet colleges were usually within 2000 to 6000 (practical ranks) depending on category and availability of seats. Since your rank is 8340 , it is slightly beyond the usual cutoff range for these highly competitive colleges and courses.

• Participate in counselling and include both Sirsi and Ponnampet Forestry colleges in your options.

• Also, keep BSc Agriculture and BSc Horticulture programs in other universities as backup choices .

• Monitor counselling rounds carefully, especially the second and final rounds.

Hello Aspirant,

No, KEA typically requires the most recent income certificate (usually from the current financial year) to claim reservation under the 2A category in KCET counselling. Generally, a 2024 income certificate from the last year of production will not be set aside, unless KEA specifically states it in the official notification document. It is advisable to maintain a valid certificate to avoid disqualification or rejection of your claim.

Thank you

Dear student,

The option entry process in KCET 2025 is a key part of the counselling round. Once you’ve completed your KCET exam and results are out, your first step is to attend document verification at the KEA help center. After verification, you’ll get a verification slip and a secret key — both are needed to log in for option entry.

To start filling your preferences, go to the official KEA website and use your CET number along with the secret key to log in. Once logged in, you can enter your preferred colleges and courses. There’s no limit to the number of options you can choose, so it’s better to list many to increase your chances. Make sure to arrange them based on your priority — the higher a course is on your list, the more likely you are to get it.

KEA will conduct a mock allotment round to show you which seat you might get based on your current choices. Use this chance to adjust your preferences — you can reorder, add, or remove options as needed.

Once you’re confident with your list, you must lock your final choices before the last date. After locking, no changes are allowed.

Finally, KEA will release the actual seat allotment results. If you get a seat, download the allotment letter, pay the admission fee, and report to the college within the given timeline.

A KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test) rank of 2 lakh means you can target various engineering colleges, including some with good reputations and others that offer a wider range of specializations. While it might be challenging to get into the most sought-after colleges for popular branches like Computer Science with this rank, there are still good options available, especially in fields like Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering, as well as some Computer Science-related options in less competitive colleges.
