Hii Pavan

Yes, you can surely withdraw your admission from JSS AHER. For this you will have to go through the official academic documents or prospectus in order to identify the official last date of admission. Then you may follow the steps given below for withdrawal and refund:

1. Submit a withdrawal request attaching fee and document receipts to the principal or dean in writing via email or in personal.

2. You can expect a refund if within the allowable window likely within 1 month from start and you may receive up to 100% or 90 % refund.

3. Side by side ensure that you complete your KCET official councelling and admission procedure.

That' s all. Hope it helps!

With a KCET rank of 32,189 in 2A category and eligibility for SNQ quota (since your family income is less than 2.5 lakh), your chances of getting Computer Science (CS) branch at SDM Engineering College through SNQ quota are better compared to the general quota because SNQ quota seats are reserved for economically weaker sections. Whether you get a seat in round 2 through SNQ or general quota depends on seat availability and cutoff ranks in both quotas. Typically, candidates with your rank and income will be prioritized for SNQ seats, so your best bet is to choose SNQ quota in counseling to improve chances of CS admission. Keep monitoring opening and closing ranks for SNQ quota for SDM College during counseling rounds.

Hello Aspirant,

With a KCET rank of 93,503 , getting a good college is tough. While Srinivas University is a decent private college with good infrastructure and a focus on placements, an AI & ML course is a specialization. A pure CSE degree from a reputed low-tier college might offer more career flexibility in the long run. Many companies still prefer a core CSE background. Your choice depends on whether you want to specialize early or keep your options open.

With 27,000 rank in ST category, your chances of getting into Forestry (B.Sc Forestry) in government agriculture universities are low,  since Forestry cut-offs are generally much higher (under 10,000 for reserved). However, you may still get admission in B.Sc Agriculture, Horticulture, or allied courses in some government/private colleges under the ST quota.
