    How To Calculate KCET Rank With Board Marks 2026?

    The Karnataka Examination Authority will decide the KCET rank of the candidate with a simple formula. To calculate the KCET rank, a candidate must know their PCM marks from the board exams and the KCET exam. Here is the step-by-step procedure on how to calculate the KCET rank with board marks.

    • 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.

    The final average score of your board score and KCET score will be used to calculate the KCET rank by the KET authority based on the cutoffs and distribution of candidates.
