Hello candidate,

Here is a link attached where you can find the KCET sylabuss wise weightage , clock on the link given below

KCET Chapter Wise Weightage 2026 - High Scoring Topics... Read more at: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/kcet-chapter-wise-weightage

Thank you.

Hello,

It's unlikely you'll get a veterinary college in Bangalore with a KCET rank of 5000, even with the ST caste and CRPF quota, as the general cutoff is often around 1200, and even special category quotas typically don't extend that far.

I hope it will clear your query!!

If you were allotted a college in the second round of KCET counseling but did not join, you are not banned from participating in subsequent rounds or future KCET counseling, provided you follow the official rules. KCET allows candidates who do not report to the allotted college to participate in later rounds, but the allotment of seats in future rounds may be affected because some colleges may have fewer vacant seats remaining. It is important to ensure that you complete all required steps in the counseling portal, such as confirming your willingness to participate in the next round, and to check the official KCET guidelines for any specific conditions regarding non-joining in earlier rounds. Failure to follow the portal instructions could affect your eligibility, but generally, not joining a college in a previous round does not result in a ban.

Hello

It's completely normal to feel uncertain after joining a college. If you feel a strong urge to try KCET again, it's okay to consider it seriously. Many students reapply to get into a better college or branch. Think about your goals and what you truly want. Prepare a clear plan if you decide to reattempt. Talk to your parents or mentors for guidance. Don't rush—make a calm, well-thought-out decision. Whatever you choose, stay committed and give your best.

Could you try to isolate the reason for your dissatisfaction That will help in making a more targeted decision.

Hi dear candidate,

Yes, you can attempt the KCET exam next year as well if you feel to score better to get better college as long as you meet the eligibility criteria of KCET.

Make sure you are comfortable to bear the consequences of dropping after one year like loss of one year studies and problems while getting fees refund (depends on your college).
