With a PCM score of 281 and a KCET score of 71, your expected rank in the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) would likely fall between 5,501 and 10,000. A score of 71 in KCET generally correlates to a rank in this range, according to KCET marks vs rank analysis.

Let's estimate your KCET 2025 rank based on:

• PCM board marks : 281 out of 300

• KCET marks : 71 out of 180

Step-by-step Calculation:

1. PUC PCM Percentage
   (281/300)×100=93.67%

2. KCET Percentage
   (71/180)×100≈39.44%

3. Final KCET Score (Weighted Average)
   (93.67+39.44)2=66.56%

Expected KCET 2025 Rank:

With a weighted average of around 66.5% , your expected rank will likely fall between 35,000 to 45,000 based on previous years' trends.

What You Can Get:

• CSE / ISE in private or Tier-2 colleges

• ECE / Mechanical / Civil in some government-aided or better-known colleges

• Good chances in colleges like:

  1. Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur

  2. BMSIT, Bangalore (non-CSE branches)

  3. JSSATE, Bangalore

  4. Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology

So based on the given information, here how you’re rank will be calculated.

Calculate the percentage of your PCM score: PCM Percentage=Total PCM ScoreYour PCM Score×100 In your case: PCM Percentage=300281×100≈93.67%

• Calculate the percentage of your KCET score: KCET Percentage=Total KCET Score Your KCET Score×100 The KCET score is out of 180 (60 marks each for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics). KCET Percentage=18071×100≈39.44%
• Calculate the Composite Score: Composite Score=2PCM Percentage+KCET Percentage Composite Score=293.67+39.44=2133.11≈66.56

Now, to estimate your rank based on this composite score, we can look at previous year's trends. Please note that the actual ranks may vary slightly depending on the overall performance of all candidates in the current year.

Based on the KCET Marks vs Rank information from the search results, a KCET score of 70-75 generally corresponds to a rank in the range of 5,501 to 6,000 . Given your slightly higher KCET score of 71 and a good PCM score, your rank is likely to be better than 10,000 and possibly within the 5,000 to 10,000 range.

Hope This Helps!

To estimate your KCET engineering rank based on:

- PCM score (Class 12): 281 out of 300

- KCET score: 71 out of 180

Here’s how the KCET rank is generally calculated:

- 50% weightage: Class 12 PCM score

- 50% weightage: KCET score

Step-by-step estimation:

1. PCM Percentage = (281/300) × 100 = 93.67%

2. KCET Percentage = (71/180) × 100 = 39.44%

3. Normalized Score = (93.67 + 39.44) / 2 = 66.55

Based on past trends, a normalized score around 66.5 usually results in a KCET engineering rank between 35,000 and 50,000, though it can vary slightly each year.
