Hello and welcome!
Great question about the KCET rank calculation for CBSE students. Let me break down the process for you clearly.
The KCET ranking for CBSE students follows these key steps:
1. Entrance Test Marks:
- Your KCET exam performance in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology is considered
- Each subject carries equal weightage
2. Board Marks Normalization:
- 50% weightage from your CBSE 12th marks in PCM/PCB subjects
- These marks are normalized to ensure fairness between different boards
- A standardization formula is applied to account for scoring variations between state and central boards
3. Final Score Calculation:
- 50% from normalized 12th board marks
- 50% from KCET entrance test scores
- These are combined to generate your final rank
The normalization process is particularly important as it ensures CBSE students compete fairly with state board students. The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) uses a statistical method to maintain this balance.
For the most current and detailed information about the ranking process, including any recent changes or updates, I'd encourage you to visit our website or the official KEA portal.
Would you like me to explain any specific part of this process in more detail? Or do you have questions about how to optimize your preparation based on this ranking system?
Hello,
Yes, you can write the KCET exam, as long as you fulfill the KCET eligibility criteria . Here are the key points to consider:
Check official KCET guidelines for complete details.
Hope it helps !
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.
Meghana,
With 185643 rank in KCET, chances of getting EEE or CSE in top or mid-level colleges of Bangalore, Hubli, Dharwad, or Belagavi are almost zero.
You may get a seat only in low-level private colleges (and that too mostly in branches like IT, ECE, or Mechanical — not EEE/CSE).
If you specifically want Bangalore/Hubli/Dharwad/Belagavi, then you’ll have to go through management quota or higher fee private colleges.
Government colleges and reputed private colleges are not possible with this rank.
Hello,
There is currently know announcement on the second round of kcet 2025 counselling, which includes option editing. But the initial option entry and the mock allocation rounds are over. Candidates will have the opportunity to change their selections after the stimulated allocation. The second round schedule, which includes the dates for optional editing, will be made public on the Karnataka examinations authority's official website.
Yes, if you were allotted a seat in KCET Round 1 but didn’t exercise any option (freeze/float/withdraw), KEA treats it as “no choice entered”, which means you forfeit that Round 1 seat. However, you are still eligible for Round 2, but not as a fresh candidate. You’ll be treated as a candidate who skipped choice entry in Round 1, so you can enter fresh options in Round 2, but your Round 1 seat is gone.
Hello, Tentative Schedule for Round 2 Allotment

Hello,
Securing a 56,000 rank in KCET does make it a bit challenging to get admission to a top government college for BPT , as the cut-offs for popular government institutions are generally much lower. However, there is still a good chance to get a seat in private colleges, especially if you are open to exploring options outside Bengaluru city or in less competitive districts. The availability of seats also depends on the category you belong to, as OBC/SC/ST candidates often have some relaxation in cut-offs. You can also consider management quota seats if finances allow, as they don’t strictly depend on your KCET rank. My advice would be to participate in all counselling rounds, as sometimes seats open up in later phases. Additionally, keep a backup plan in related fields like B.Sc. Physiotherapy or Allied Health Sciences.

Thank you, and best wishes for your admission process.
Hello Kavya,
If you did not choose any options during the choice filling after KCET Round 1 allotment results, it means you did not lock any preferences for that round. In such cases, you will not be allotted a seat in Round 1, and your participation will automatically be considered for the next round, provided you complete the choice filling for that round. However, if you miss choice filling in all rounds, you will not get any seat through KCET counselling. My suggestion is to always participate in each round, even if you are waiting for a better option, because you can upgrade later.
Thank you!
