Hello Shreyas,

With a KCET rank of 78,000 under the SC category, getting a free seat for B.Pharmacy is unlikely in top government colleges in Karnataka, as their cutoff ranks for SC category are usually much lower (better rank).

Key points:

• Government colleges generally have closing ranks for SC category well below 20,000 for B.Pharmacy seats.

• With a rank of 78,000, chances of free government seats are very low.

• You may get admission in private colleges or aided colleges where fees may be higher.

• Some private colleges also offer scholarships or fee concessions for reserved categories, which you can explore.

  Recommended

• It is advisable to check the official KCET counseling seat matrix and cutoff details for the current year during counseling.

In summary, with a rank of 78,000 under SC, free government seats in B.Pharmacy are unlikely. Consider private colleges or other options with financial support.

I would recommend you to use KCET College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you do have a fair chance of being allotted a free seat for B. Pharmacy in either government or government-aided colleges in Karnataka given your KCET rank (78,000) coming from the SC quota. However, admission is also possible because of the following factors:

• Cut-off trends for the current year (these vary slightly from year-to-year).
• Availability of seats considering entry under SC quota in B. Pharmacy courses.
• Your category rank and your preference entry when you get to choose during counselling.

Please do attend and take part in ALL rounds of counselling, and in the preference list, be sure to fill in as many B. Pharm colleges as possible. Check this link for more information: KCET Marks vs Rank 2025 - Calculate Qualifying Marks
