KCET

In case of B.Sc (Ag) in Mysore (without KCET ranking), what you need to do is to secure yourself a seat directly via management quota at the private colleges teaching agriculture. The major selection process of colleges with the Government mainly done through KCET. Management qualification seats may cost anywhere between INR 1.65 Lakhs and INR 2.5 Lakhs annually, which will amount to INR 6.6 Lakhs to INR 10 Lakhs over the entire four year duration.

There is no chance now to reopen KCET 2025 registration window 

It was previously ended on Feb 24, 2025 .

The registration period was January 23 to February 25, 2025.

Fee payment deadline was extended to February 25 ,2025.

So there's nothing according to current process that KCET exam registration might reopen.

 No, You don't need KCET for getting into B.Sc Maths or B.Sc Computer Science in most colleges. As long as you've cleared 12th with Maths as a subject, you're good. Most colleges either give direct admission based on marks or have their own entrance test (rare). Still, double-check with the college you're eyeing, especially private or top-tier ones. But yeah; KCET isn't the gatekeeper here.

Other exams similar to the KCET are MHT CET (Maharashtra), Andhra Pradesh EAMCET (Andhra Pradesh), TS EAMCET (Telangana), GUJCET (Gujarat), and WBJEE (West Bengal), as they too are state-level entrance tests for engineering and allied courses, following a generally similar syllabus in Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics or Biology/Physics/Chemistry for classes 11 or 12, typically have objective-type questions, and generally do not have negative marking, making them the closest in the pattern and difficulty to KCET.

The cut off of colleges changes based on the branch, category of the applicant and the competition of the year.For computer Science engineering and Information technology the competition is more than any other branches.A good KCET score for top colleges like BMSCE, MSRIT ranges between 140 to 150 out of 180 for computer Science engineering. For RV college of engineering a rank around 1000 is required for computer Science engineering. In PES University offer good oppurtunities for students with rank 1000 to 5000.

If you are a student who has studied in Kannada medium or are a native Kannada speaker, you must take the Kannada language test for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET). This test evaluates candidates' proficiency in Kannada, which is essential for admission to various professional courses in Karnataka. However, those who do not meet these criteria may not need to take the test. 

For the most accurate and current information, it is advisable to refer to the official KCET guidelines or announcements, as policies can change.

Most comparable exams to KCET are normally state other level engineering entrance examination in India. These are the exams such as COMEDK UGET ( again in Karnataka, but in the private institutes), MHT CET (Maharashtra), WBJEE (West Bengal), Andhra Pradesh EAMCET (Andhra Pradesh), and TS EAMCET (Telangana). Their structure is more or less the same, covering Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (or Biology in some streams), of MCQ nature and of the same level of difficulty in order to get admissions to undergraduate engineering courses in their respective states.

If you've paid for the KCET exam 2025 twice, don't worry! You should contact the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) immediately. They usually have a dedicated helpline or an email address for payment-related issues. You'll need to provide details like both transaction IDs, your application number, and proof of payment. KEA has a defined process for handling duplicate payments, and they will usually process a refund after verifying the transactions. Act quickly to ensure a smooth refund process.

Calculating an exact KCET ranking from just your PCM score (87) and theory score (279) is complex and cannot be done precisely without knowing the weightage given to PUC (12th standard) marks versus KCET marks, the normalization process, and the performance of all other candidates in the specific year. KCET rank is derived from a fifty-fifty weightage of your CET score and your 2nd PUC marks (after normalization). You'll need to wait for the official KCET rank list released by KEA.
