Hello,

With a KCET rank of around 49,000, your chances for admission to CSE, especially with a specialization in AI and ML, are quite low. CSE (Computer Science Engineering) and its specializations like AI and ML in top-tier colleges usually require ranks under 8,000, and even more competitive under 3,000 to 5,000 for general CSE.

KCET Cutoffs: CSE and AI/ML (General Category)

RV College of Engineering (RVCE): AI and ML closing rank around 1,341; CSE closing rank around 606 to 636

Ramaiah Institute of Technology (RIT): AI and ML closing rank around 3,675; CSE closing rank around 1,024

Siddaganga Institute of Technology (SIT): AI and ML closing rank around 12,835; CSE closing rank around 10,899

PES University: AI and ML closing rank around 4,030; CSE closing rank around 4,030

These figures are based on previous years or expected trends for 2025 and are only indicative.

At a rank of approximately 49,000, your options are:

CSE or AI and ML are generally not available at most top colleges through the general quota

Some lower-tier or less competitive private institutions may offer seats in AI/ML or CSE, but mainly through reserved categories or management quota

For reference, general category cutoffs for CSE and AI/ML in mid-tier colleges usually fall within the range of 10,000 to 20,000.
