Hello Aspirant,

With a KCET veterinary rank of 19,000 and HK (Hyderabad-Karnataka) quota eligibility, you do have a fair chance of getting admission into government veterinary colleges in Karnataka, especially in the Hyderabad-Karnataka region (like Bidar, Hassan, or Gadag), but it will depend on the cutoff trends for 2025.

In previous years, veterinary seats under HK quota have closed around 18,000–22,000 ranks, so your rank is within range.

What you should do-

• Participate actively in all rounds of KCET counselling

• Keep HK certificate and required documents ready

  Recommended

• Consider all government veterinary colleges during option entry

All the best for your counselling.

Hello aspirant,
With a KCET Veterinary rank of 19,000 and eligibility under the Hyderabad–Karnataka (HK) quota, your chances of getting admission to a government veterinary college in Karnataka are very high. For the general category, government colleges like Veterinary College Bangalore, Shimoga, and Hassan typically close veterinary seats around rank 1,100 to 2,000. Under HK quota, this closing rank stretches significantly—often up to 30,000 to 60,000, especially for rural and HK-specific seats. That means with your rank of 19k, you're well within the range to secure a seat in a government veterinary college under quota provisions. Just make sure to participate actively in KCET counselling, select veterinary courses and government colleges high in your preferences, and complete your document verification on time.

The cutoff ranks for veterinary colleges in Karnataka vary. Veterinary College, Bangalore, has a lower cutoff ranks (around 2000 or lower) while other colleges like Shimoga and Hassan may have higher rank cutoffs, potentially around 4000-4500.

The Hyderabad-Karnataka (HK) quota can significantly improve your chances, especially if you are within the eligibility criteria for that quota.

Considering all you have a reasonable chance of getting a veterinary seat in Karnataka, but it depends on the specific college and the competition.

Good luck!!
