My approximate score is 176.15 out of 200 without any normalisation. As an out of state candidate, would I get into college of engineering guindy or madras institute of technology ?
Having scored approx 176.15 out of 200 in KCET, without normalization, that is a extremely high score, more so as an out of state applicant. So out of state seats are less and more competitive, though you have a good chance in the Karnataka top ranked engineering colleges, more so in Computer Science, ECE or IT branch, depending upon the individual cutoff trends. But admission in the very popular government colleges such as UVCE or RVCE may be a squeeze under open category as there are few seats available to non-Karnataka students.
