To estimate your KCET rank based on:
PCM Percentage : 35%
KCET Score : 57 marks
Category : OBC
Here's a general idea:
With 57 marks in KCET and low PCM marks (35%) , the rank could fall between 85,000 to 1,20,000 or even lower, depending on the overall difficulty level of the exam and competition that year.
PCM percentage plays a role in determining the final ranking. Since your PCM is quite low (below the typical eligibility cutoff of 45% for general and 40% for reserved categories), it might affect eligibility for engineering counseling .
Applications for Admissions are open.
For OBC candidates:
Minimum PCM % required is 40% in most cases to be eligible for KCET engineering counseling.
With 35% in PCM , you may not be eligible for engineering seat allotment through KCET unless there's a special provision or relaxation this year.
Check your eligibility status on the official KEA website or in the KCET 2025 information bulletin.
If not eligible, consider:
Diploma-to-degree lateral entry
Private college admissions without KCET
Improving PCM marks through re-exam or NIOS (if applicable)
