KCET counselling is conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) to allot seats in engineering, pharmacy, agriculture, veterinary, and other professional courses .
The counselling process is mostly online , but some steps are offline . It is a hybrid process .
Document Verification:
This is the only major offline step .
After KCET results, candidates must visit the KEA help centres with all original documents like KCET admit card, rank card, Class 10 & 12 mark sheets, caste/income certificates (if applicable), and study certificates.
Officials check your documents and give a verification slip and login credentials for online counselling.
Reporting to College:
After you get a seat and pay the fee, you must physically report to the allotted college with original documents to confirm admission.
Choice Filling (Option Entry):
After document verification, candidates log in to the KEA online portal to select colleges and courses in order of preference.
Seat Allotment:
Mock allotment and final allotment results are published online.
Candidates select options (accept/reject/continue) online.
Fee Payment and Admission Order:
Once a seat is accepted, you pay the admission fee online and download the admission order .
Offline: Document verification & final college reporting.
Online: Choice filling, seat allotment, option selection, and fee payment.
So, KCET counselling is mostly online with some offline steps
With a practical rank of 14,300 in KCET and your category being 2A OBC + 371J, you do have a fair chance of getting a BSc Agriculture seat in Karnataka under the reserved quota.
Here’s a practical breakdown:
In previous years, students with ranks around 12,000 to 16,000 in practical rank (with reservation) have secured BSc Agri seats in government and government-aided colleges.
The 2A and 371J reservation works strongly in your favor, especially in Hyderabad-Karnataka region colleges (now Kalyana Karnataka).
Seat availability and college preference matter—popular colleges fill fast, but you have a decent chance in regional universities or newer agri colleges.
Your chances are good, especially in:
Colleges located in Bidar, Raichur, or other north Karnataka regions.
Seats under University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur or Dharwad.
Hey Karthik:)
Thanks for reaching out!
With a KCET rank of 7,727 under the 2A reservation category your chances of getting CSE at Dayananda Vidyasagar College Of Engineering (DVCE) are at borderline but possible,especially in later rounds .In the previous year cutoff trends, closing rank for CSE under 2A category was around 7,500 which places you slightly above the past cutoff.So admission in the first shift is unlikely .You may have a chance in 2nd or later rounds depending on seat availability, cut-off movements and dropout cases.
Your rank is close enough to the cutoff to keep DSCE CSE as a hopeful option especially if you're open to later rounds but keep strong backup options ready and stay updated with the councelling process.

With 179000 rank in KCET, chances for Computer Science are limited in top colleges. You may get CS or IT in rural/private engineering colleges in Karnataka like:
Rao Bahadur Y. Mahabaleshwarappa Engineering College
SEA College of Engineering
Rajarajeswari College of Engineering (Management quota)
Hii,
With a KCET rank of 79,000, you can still explore a good number of colleges, especially in branches like Civil, Mechanical, Biotechnology, or newer colleges for CSE and ECE.
In Government Colleges getting core branches like CSE/ISE may be tough in top govt colleges at this rank, but you might get branches like:
Civil Engineering,Mechanical Engineering orAgricultural Engineering
Use the official KEA mock seat allotment results and previous year's cutoff ranks to make better decisions. Also, participate in both Round 1 and 2 counseling to increase your chances.

good afternoon. yes, KCET does release a separate rank list for architecture aspirants, but it's not based on KCET exam scores. Instead, your architecture rank is determined by your NATA score (National Aptitude Test in Architecture) and qualifying marks in 12th standard.
here's how Architecture Rank Is Calculated
50% weightage from your NATA score
50% weightage from your Class 12 (or equivalent) marks
KCET itself does not conduct a separate architecture entrance te
to Find Your Architecture Rank
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) publishes a separate rank list for B.Arch candidates on its official website: KEA Portal https://cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea

Hi
A KCET rank of 30,915 can still offer you a good range of options, especially under the state quota and depending on your category . While top government colleges like UVCE or RVCE may be slightly out of reach at this rank, there are still several good engineering colleges that accept ranks around this range for various branches, especially in core and emerging areas.Some of the colleges you might get into include Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, JSSATE, or Acharya Institute of Technology, in branches like Mechanical, Civil, EEE, or newer programs like AI & ML in less competitive colleges. Counseling plays a huge role here, and choice filling should be done smartly by analyzing previous year cutoff trends.
