Hey Bhargav,

Congrats on getting 17.5k rank in KCET.

According to your rank and analyzing the previous year trends.

If you have any other quota , Like 3a,3b or something other than that , than you have some chances of getting a seat in JCE or else that`s kind of hard .

But with General rank of yours, you can get a seat in The National Institute of Engineering Mysore.

But in case for backup , here are some other good colleges for your rank :

Dr. Ambedkar Institute Of Technology Bangalore

S K S J T Institute of Engineering. Bangalore

Sri Siddartha Institute of Technology Tumkur
