With a KCET score of 85 and a board score of 285, and belonging to the 2AG category, your estimated KCET rank would likely fall between 45,000 and 65,000 . This estimation is based on previous years' trends and may vary depending on the overall performance of candidates in the current year.

Admission to the Pharm.D program through KCET is competitive, with top colleges like the Government College of Pharmacy, Bangalore, having closing ranks around 25,319 for the 2AG category in 2023. Given your estimated rank, securing a seat in such institutions might be challenging.

However, there are other colleges where the cutoff ranks are higher, increasing your chances of admission. For instance:

• KLE University's College of Pharmacy, Belgaum had a closing rank of 85,751 for the 2AG category in 2024.

• Karnataka College of Pharmacy, Bangalore had a closing rank of 79,392 for general category students in 2023.

These institutions may offer better prospects for admission based on your rank.

It's advisable to participate in all rounds of KCET counseling, including extended and spot rounds, as cutoff ranks can vary, and vacancies may arise.
