First, know your physics, chemistry, and mathematics marks scored in the board exam.
Add all three PCM subjects' scores and divide them by the total PCM score of 300.
The result you get after the PCM score must be divided by 300, and the result is your board exam score to calculate the KCET rank.
Now, divide your KCET PCM by the KCET total score of 180. Then the result you get is the KCET score to calculate the KCET rank.
To get your final score, calculate the average score of the Board Score and the KCET score.
