Hey Param:)

Thanks for reaching out!

In KCET counselling, the SNQ quota seats are fixed separately for every college and branch, and they don't automatically transfer if you upgrade. Right now, you have BMSCE CSE under SNQ, but if you try for PES RR (AI/ML) in the next round, you will get the SNQ benefit there, only if that branch has SNQ seats left and your rank is high enough to secure one. Otherwise, even if you get the seat, it maybe alloted under regular quota and you won't get the tution fee waiver . That's why it's important to select choice-2 while trying for an update, so that your BMSCE SNQ seat remains safe if you don't get the new SNQ seat at PES RR. This way you won't lose the benefit you already hold.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

Yes, if you already have the SNQ quota, it will continue in the next rounds also.

So, if you get PES RR CS (AI/ML) in the next round, it will also be allotted under the SNQ quota.

You don’t need to apply for SNQ again, it remains the same for all rounds.

Hope it helps!

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.

Thank you!

Hello,

The E048 code in KCET refers to a particular engineering college in Karnataka. To know the exact college name, you can check the KEA CET brochure, where each code is mapped to a college.

Thank you and all the best!

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:

1. Residence Requirement : You need to be a resident of Karnataka or satisfy the domicile criteria.
2. Eligibility : Students who have studied 10+2 or equivalent in Karnataka or have Karnataka-origin parents may be eligible.
3. Educational Background : Studying 10th in Karnataka and 12th in Andhra Pradesh should not disqualify you, but your eligibility depends on the domicile rules.

Check official KCET guidelines for complete details.

Hope it helps !
