KCET 2023 Sample Papers

With 105 marks in KCET and 270 in PCM boards, your normalized score is around 74%. Based on previous trends, your expected KCET rank would likely fall between 6,000 to 10,000 in the general category. This range may vary slightly depending on this year’s competition and difficulty level.

With 105 marks in KCET and 205 marks in PCM, your combined score is approximately 63.33%. Based on previous trends, your estimated KCET rank could be around 10,000 to 20,000.

This is an estimate, and the actual rank could vary depending on factors like exam difficulty and overall performance.

It's important to understand that your KCET rank is not solely determined by your KCET marks. The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) uses a specific formula that gives 50% weightage to your KCET PCB marks and 50% weightage to your 12th standard (or equivalent) PCB marks.

Therefore, to estimate your KCET rank for 2025, we need to consider both your scores:

• 12th PCB Marks: 263 / 300
• KCET PCB Marks: 88 / 180

Here's how the composite score for ranking is calculated:

1. Calculate the percentage of your 12th PCB marks: (263 / 300) * 100 = 87.67%

2. Calculate the percentage of your KCET PCB marks: (88 / 180) * 100 = 48.89%

3. Calculate the composite score (50% weightage for each): (87.67 + 48.89) / 2 = 68.28%

Now, to estimate your rank based on this composite score, we need to look at previous years' KCET marks vs. rank trends. Please note that these are just estimates based on past data , and the actual ranks for 2025 might vary depending on the overall performance of all candidates, the difficulty level of the exam, and the number of applicants.

Based on the general trends from previous KCET exams, a composite score of around 68 might place you in a rank range of somewhere between 40,000 to 60,000 or even higher.

On April 25, 2025, the results of the Kannada language test for KCET 2025 were made public.  However, as of May 2025, the primary KCET 2025 results (for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics) have not yet been made public.  While other sources imply a larger timeframe stretching into June 2025, previous trends indicate that engineering findings are anticipated between May 12–18, 2025.  For updates, visit cetonline.karnataka.gov.in or kea.kar.nic.in.

The admission to Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (B.V.Sc & A.H.) in Karnataka's government veterinary colleges considers 50% of your KCET PCB marks and 50% of your marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in the 12th standard. Your board marks are quite high (approximately 94.33%), which will significantly contribute to your overall merit. A KCET PCB score of 131 out of 180 is also a respectable score.

Considering the previous year's cutoff trends, the closing ranks for the 3A category in government veterinary colleges have varied. For instance, in 2024, the closing ranks for the 3AG category (which is similar to your 3A rural category) in Veterinary College, Bangalore, and other colleges were within a few thousand.

Given your strong board marks and a decent KCET score, coupled with the advantage of the 3A rural category reservation, your composite score should likely place you within a competitive rank range for admission to veterinary colleges.

However, it's important to note that the actual cutoff ranks for 2025 will depend on factors such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the KCET exam this year, and the number of seats available in each category.

Therefore, while it is not guaranteed, you have a strong possibility of getting a veterinary college in Karnataka.

1. Wait for the official KCET results and rank list to be released by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA). This will give you your actual rank.

2.Check the official cutoff ranks for veterinary colleges for the 3A rural category once they are announced after the KCET counselling process begins.

3.Participate actively in the KCET counselling process and fill in your preferred veterinary colleges.

I hope this helps.

Based on your expected KCET score of 120 out of 180 and a PU2 percentage of 65%, your rank will depend on the overall performance of other candidates in your category and region. However, with these figures, you could expect a rank in the range of 25,000–40,000, subject to variations.

With 56% in KCET + PCM, your estimated KCET rank would be around 60,000–80,000.

As an OBC female candidate, you have better chances in:

Private colleges for branches like ECE, Mechanical, or Civil.

Top branches (like CSE) may be tough at government colleges.

Participate in all counseling rounds for better options.

To get Computer Science (CSE) at PES University (Ring Road Campus) through KCET, you generally need a rank below 1,500 in the General Merit (GM) category.

For OBC Female candidates, the cutoff can be slightly relaxed — typically around 2,000 to 3,000 rank.

These cutoffs vary slightly every year, so aiming for a rank under 2,000 is ideal for a strong chance.

Predicting your exact veterinary rank in KCET is tricky because the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) calculates it using a combined score. They give equal weightage (50%) to your normalized KCET PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) marks out of 100 and 50% to your PCB percentage in the 12th standard

First, let's calculate your board percentage in PCB. Since your total board marks are 287 out of 300, your overall percentage is approximately 95.67%. Assuming your percentage in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology individually is also around this figure, your contribution from board marks to the ranking would be roughly 95.67. However, for KCET ranking, only the PCB marks are considered. If your PCB marks are slightly different from your overall percentage, this will affect the calculation.

Next, your KCET marks are 120 out of 180 in PCB. To bring this to a scale of 100 for the ranking, we calculate (120/180) * 100, which is approximately 66.67.

Now, to determine your composite score for veterinary ranking, we take 50% of your normalized KCET score and 50% of your PCB percentage. So, it would be (0.50 * 66.67) + (0.50 * 95.67) = 33.335 + 47.835 = 81.17.

Based on previous years' KCET rank versus composite score trends for veterinary admissions, a composite score around 81 could potentially place your rank within the range of a few hundred to a few thousand .

KCET Marks: 120

Board Marks: 287/300

Your estimated KCET Veterinary (B.V.Sc.) rank will be around 2500 to 4000.

This is based on past trends and your combined KCET and board performance.

Final rank may vary slightly after normalization.
