No, practical or iternal marks are not considered for KCET rank calculation. 

The KCET 2025 result date and time have been announced. Prior to the public release, Karnataka's Higher Education Minister, Dr. M.C. Sudhakar, will formally announce the results at 11:30 AM at the KEA office. However, the KCET 2025 result link will be available on the official page at 2:00 pm. 

The following factors depend on creating the KCET cutoff -

• Difficulty of the KCET question paper.  
• Number of applicants appearing for the KCET examination.  
• Number of available seats.  
• Performance of the applicants in all sections of the KCET 2025 exam
• Seats for the reserved category.  
• The average marks secured by the applicants in the exam.

The KCET 2025 result will be released on May 24 from 2:00 pm onwards, Higher Education Minister Dr. M.C. Sudhakar will declare them at 11:30 AM at the KEA office. 

The KCET rank is calculated using a 50:50 weightage of your:

• KCET exam marks (out of 180)
• Class 12 (2nd PUC) PCM marks (out of 300)

KCET Rank Formula = Average of (KCET percentage + PCM percentage)

Let’s say you scored:

• KCET total marks = 150/180 → KCET% = 83.33%
• PCM board marks = 270/300 → PCM% = 90%

Rank basis % = (83.33 + 90) / 2 = 86.66%

Your KCET rank will be based on this final average percentage. The higher the percentage, the better your rank.

Here are some colleges that accept KCET rank ranging- 25000 to 30000

• S K S J T Institute of Engineering, Bangalore
• Bangalore Institute of Technology Bangalore
• Sir M.Visveswaraya Institute of Technology Hunasemaranahalli,Bangalore

Yes, KCET hall ticket is required during the KCET counselling for document verification purposes. The admit card serves as an identity proof for the applicant.

The KCET counselling process is conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) for admission to engineering, agriculture, pharmacy, and other professional courses in Karnataka. It begins with document verification at designated centres, followed by the release of a merit/rank list. Eligible candidates must register online, fill in their preferred courses and colleges, and lock their choices.

Seat allotment is done based on KCET rank, category, preferences, and seat availability. After seat allotment, candidates must download the allotment letter, pay the admission fee, and report to the allotted college. Multiple rounds of counselling may be conducted, including special and extended rounds, depending on seat availability. Participating in each round as per the schedule is crucial for securing admission.

To understand how KCET scores and board marks can affect the KCET rank, let's take an example -

As you can see, even though there is a difference of 4 marks in board marks and 6 marks in KCET scores, there is a huge difference in the KCET rank. This is because the 50% marks are taken from the board and the KCET exam, based on which the rank is decided. However, the rank again depends on various factors, like cutoff trends, difficulty level of the questions, and number of candidates who appeared for the exam. Therefore, it is important to score well in both sections. 

The closing rank of KCET 2024 for Malnad College of Engineering Hassan was around 30026 for the ECE branch.

KEA allows candidates to raise objection against their results. The facility is mainly available for three day, where students are supposed to raise objections, such as -

• if there is a change in the qualifying exam marks

If you fail to upload your Class 12 marks (especially for CBSE/ICSE/private candidates), KEA cannot calculate your rank, and you may be disqualified from KCET counselling unless a correction window is reopened. 

For General category, CSE in top colleges like RVCE or BMSCE generally requires a rank below 2,000–3,000. Reserved categories may get in at higher ranks. However, it can depend on the cutoff trends.
