On Question asked by student community
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.

Thank you and all the best!
If you didn’t give your choice entry in the first round of KCET counselling, you won’t be considered for seat allotment in that round. But don’t worry, you can still take part in the second round. KEA allows candidates who missed choice entry or didn’t get a seat in the first round to participate in the next round. Just make sure you complete the choice entry properly in the second round, otherwise you’ll again miss the chance.
