Hello Bhavya,

I understand you're inquiring about the possibility of securing a seat in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (ALDS) with a KCET score of 170 under the BC category . Admission to specific branches like ALDS depends on factors such as the college's cutoff ranks , seat availability , and reservation policies .

To provide a clearer picture:

• Cutoff Ranks : Each college has its own cutoff ranks for various branches, which can vary annually based on the number of applicants and overall performance.
  
  

• Reservation Policies : The BC category may have specific reservations in certain states, influencing the cutoff ranks.

Given these variables, it's challenging to definitively state whether a score of 170 will secure a seat in ALDS. I recommend:

1. Consulting Official Sources : Check the latest KCET cutoff ranks for ALDS in your desired colleges. This information is typically available on the official Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) website or the respective college admission portals.
   
   

2. Contacting Colleges Directly : Reach out to the admissions offices of the colleges you're interested in to inquire about the previous year's cutoff ranks and the likelihood of admission with your score.
   
   

3. Exploring Alternative Options : Consider applying to multiple colleges to increase your chances of securing a seat in ALDS or related branches.
