Know All About Karnataka CET (KCET)

You are talking about KCET 2025, and your scores are:

KCET marks: 70 out of 180

Class 12th PCM marks: 264 out of 300

In KCET, the final rank is calculated based on:

45% weightage from KCET marks and

55% weightage from 12th PCM marks.

Let’s calculate step-by-step:

1. KCET percentage = (70 ÷ 180) × 100 = 38.89% (approximately 39%)

2. PCM percentage = (264 ÷ 300) × 100 = 88%

Now, applying the KCET formula:

Aggregate = 0.45 * 38.89 ) + ( 0.55 * 88 ) = 65.9

Thus, your final KCET aggregate is approximately 65.9%.

Expected KCET 2025 Rank:

With an aggregate around 65.9%, your expected rank would be between 15,000 and 30,000.

If the paper was very tough this year, the rank could slightly improve towards the lower side of the range (closer to 15,000).

With 71 marks in KCET, your estimated rank would be between 35,000 and 45,000. This is an approximation, and the actual rank can vary depending on factors like the overall difficulty of the exam and the number of candidates.

If you have scored 110 marks in KCET and 119 marks in COMEDK , here is a detailed analysis regarding the expected ranks:

1. KCET 110 Marks — Expected Rank

• Based on past year trends, a score of 110 in KCET generally corresponds to a rank between 30,000 and 45,000 .

• However, the exact rank depends on multiple factors such as:

  • Your 12th board marks (since KCET considers 50% KCET marks + 50% board marks).

  • The difficulty level of the KCET exam for the year.

  • The performance of other candidates in the same session.

• If your board marks are strong (above 85-90%), it may slightly improve your overall KCET rank.

2. COMEDK 119 Marks — Expected Rank

• With 119 marks in COMEDK, you can expect a rank between 14,000 and 18,000 based on previous year analysis.

• Again, variations happen based on the overall difficulty level and the competition in that particular year.

3. Important Points to Remember

• Both KCET and COMEDK ranks are relative and depend heavily on the performance of all students.

• Seat availability, reservation categories (if applicable), and college cut-offs also play a role during counselling.

4. Possible Colleges You Can Target

• Through KCET:

  • Colleges like RNSIT, BMSIT, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (for branches like Mechanical, Civil, EEE) might be possible.

• Through COMEDK:

  • You can target colleges like Acharya Institute of Technology, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, and New Horizon College of Engineering for branches like ECE, EEE, Mechanical, or IT.

5. Final Suggestion

• Participate actively in counselling rounds to maximize your chances.

• Also keep an eye on second or spot rounds where cut-offs slightly relax.

• If you have a category reservation (like OBC, SC, ST), it can help you get better colleges with your marks.

Aerospace Engineering cutoff ranks for KCET exam vary across colleges. Here are some colleges with their expected cutoff ranks:

- Top Colleges:

- Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT), Bangalore: Aerospace Engineering cutoff rank around 9975 (General Category)

- PES University, Bangalore: Not explicitly mentioned, but top branches like CSE and ECE have cutoff ranks between 2500-8500

- Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE), Bangalore: Aeronautical Engineering cutoff rank between 38,000-50,000

- Other Colleges:

- Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bangalore: Not explicitly mentioned for Aerospace, but Civil Engineering cutoff rank between 30,000-45,000

- Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur: Not explicitly mentioned for Aerospace

To increase chances of getting into top colleges, aim for ranks:

- Top Tier Colleges (RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, PESU): Below 5000 for branches like CSE, AI/ML, and ECE

- Upper Mid-Tier Colleges (BIT, DSCE, NIE Mysore, JSSATE Bangalore): Between 1000-10,000 for top branches

Keep in mind that cutoff ranks may vary depending on category, board marks, and other factors.

In the KCET cutoff list, the term category refers to the reservation group or social classification under which a student is applying for admission. The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), which conducts the KCET exam, uses these categories to allot seats in various colleges based on the reservation system approved by the state government of Karnataka.

Categories are created to ensure fair opportunities for students from different social and economic backgrounds. These include General Merit (GM), Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), and several special categories like Category 1, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B. These categories help allocate seats and scholarships accordingly, making education accessible to everyone.

Each category has its own separate cutoff in the KCET results. The cutoff is the minimum rank required to get admission into a specific course or college. For example, a student under the SC category may get a seat in a particular college with a lower rank compared to someone in the General category because of the reservation system.

It is important for students to correctly mention their category during the application process, as this directly affects their admission chances and seat allotment.

Cutoffs vary not just by category, but also by course , college , and year , depending on factors like number of seats, demand for the course, and the performance of candidates in that year.

Knowing your category and checking the previous years KCET cutoff ranks for that category can help you set realistic expectations and plan your preferences better during the counselling process.

With a KCET score of 123 and PCB score of 281, and being an OBC 2A candidate, getting a government veterinary seat in Karnataka (like at KVAFSU colleges) may be challenging but not impossible, especially in general merit. However, you might have a better chance in:

• Hyderabad-Karnataka (HK) region quota (if applicable)

• OBC 2A reservation

• Private veterinary colleges

Cutoffs vary each year, but typically, government veterinary colleges close around 300+ in PCB and ranks within top 5,000–10,000.

If you're open to management quota or self-financing colleges, chances improve.
