With a KCET rank of around 1,90,000, getting into CSE or ECE branches at top-tier Karnataka colleges isn't realistic, as institutions like RVCE, BMSCE, PES, and MSRIT close their CSE seats within the top ~8,000-10,000 ranks. Instead, you should aim for private or newer colleges that admit candidates with ranks above 1,00,000. For instance, colleges such as Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology (civil/mechanical), S.K.S.J.T. Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rajeev Institute of Technology (offering CSE/ECE), Vidya Vikas Institute of Engineering & Technology, and Malnad College of Engineering typically accept students within the 1,00,000-1,50,000 range. While CSE streams might still be competitive, you're likely to secure seats in branches like ECE, EEE, or Civil in these colleges. So, at your rank focus on tier-2 and tier-3 private engineering colleges in Karnataka they also offer decent academics and reasonable placement support.
