Panjab University (PUCHD) Engineering and Architecture Courses & Fees 2025

Hello Saicharan,

Congratulations on your magnificent 2nd PUC score of 281/300. With 112/180 marks in KCET, your rank in KCET will mostly based on the normalized weightage — 50% of KCET and 50% of 2nd PUC PCM marks. As per previous trends, your KCET rank may range between 3,000 and 6,000 (approximately).

Chances for CSE in Top 10 Engineering Colleges in Karnataka:

• Competition-oriented institutes such as RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT (CSE) typically shut out within top 1,500–2,500 ranks.

• You may have good prospects in ECE/ISE in top-tier colleges or CSE in comparatively lower-ranked colleges like SIT Tumkur, DSCE, or JSSATE.

Look towards CS-specialized branches (such as AI/ML, Data Science) in reputable colleges where CSE cutoffs are more stringent.

Hii,

Yes, if you are an external student enrolled in PU Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), you are eligible to take the NEET. However, confirm that you have studied the necessary subjects and that your board is recognized.

Additionally, you must pass the 12th grade exam with at least 50% in general and 40% in PCB for SC, ST, and OBC students. You are therefore qualified if your board and subjects are correct. Just concentrate on doing well in your NEET studies!

A drop year can be a viable strategy if you are determined to pursue an MBBS and can significantly improve your preparation. However, it requires dedication and a realistic assessment of your potential for improvement. Some experts suggest that while improvement is possible, a significant jump in score might be challenging to achieve, potentially taking more than one year,

If you are struggling to achieve a competitive NEET score, consider alternative medical careers like paramedical fields or exploring other undergraduate programs at PU that don't require NEET.

In conclusion: A drop year can be a viable option for improving your NEET score, but it requires significant effort and a realistic assessment of your capabilities. If you are determined to pursue MBBS, you should focus on improving your NEET preparation, but also explore alternative options and the specific requirements of PU.
