With a KCET engineering rank of 1,54,411 and 2A rural quota, you still have a fair chance of getting into some government engineering colleges in Karnataka, though the branch options will mostly be Civil, Mechanical, EEE, or lower-demand specializations rather than CSE/ECE.

Possible government colleges you might get in later rounds:

• Government Engineering College, Kushalnagar

Your rural and 2A category benefits will help you in round 2 and extended rounds, where cutoffs drop significantly. If you are flexible with branch and location, you should be able to secure a seat in one of these.
