To estimate your chances of getting a government veterinary seat with 120 marks in KCET PCB under the 3B OBC category, we need to consider your potential rank and the previous year's cutoff ranks for government veterinary colleges in Karnataka for the 3B category.

First, let's estimate your KCET rank. Since the KCET ranks are based on a combination of your board exam marks (50%) and your KCET marks (50%), we need your PCB marks in the 12th board exams to give a more accurate rank estimate. ¹ However, assuming your board marks are also reasonably good, scoring 120 out of 180 in KCET PCB is a good score. Based on previous trends, a score of 120 in KCET PCB could potentially place you in a good rank range. However, without your board marks, providing a precise rank is not possible.

Now, let's talk about your chances of securing a government veterinary seat. Admission to Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc & AH) in government colleges in Karnataka through KCET is highly competitive. The cutoff ranks vary each year based on the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the availability of seats.

Looking at the previous year's (2024) KCET cutoff ranks for government veterinary colleges can give us some insight. For example, the closing ranks for the 3BG category (which is similar to your 3B category) in Round 1 for Veterinary College, Shimoga was around 1243 . For Veterinary College, Hassan, the 3BG closing rank in Round 1 was 3113 . These ranks suggest that to secure a government veterinary seat, you would likely need a rank within the range of a few thousand.

With a good score of 120 in KCET PCB, if your board marks are also strong, you might have a decent overall rank. However, it's crucial to check the official KCET cutoff ranks released by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) after the results are announced. These cutoffs will provide the most accurate picture of your chances for each government veterinary college under the 3B category.

Therefore, while a score of 120 is commendable, your final rank, which depends on your board marks as well, will determine your chances of securing a government veterinary seat. Keep an eye on the official KEA website for the rank announcement and the subsequent cutoff details for veterinary colleges. Participating actively in the counseling process and filling in all your preferred government veterinary colleges will be crucial.

I hope this helps.
