My marks are 162 im from general category will i able to get top tier college in karnataka

Hey there,

Assuming you mean 162/180 in KCET 2026 and you are General Merit (GM): yes, you have a strong score for Karnataka, but the exact college/branch depends on your Class 12 PCM percentage because KCET engineering rank uses KCET + board performance.

At 162 marks, recent 2026 estimates put you roughly in the top few thousand, with the exact rank varying substantially by board marks.

For context, 2026 GM Round 1 cutoffs included:

• RVCE CSE: 144
• MSRIT CSE: 976
• UVCE CSE: 2,952
• DSCE CSE: 3,572
• BIT CSE: 4,567

Thanks
