KCET

Yes to get admitted into Gautham College of Pharmacy, you must have a valid KCET score.

If you're gearing up for the KCET exam, starting your preparation with NCERT books for Classes eleven and twelve in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology is one of the smartest moves. These books lay a rock-solid foundation and cover the core syllabus in language that is clear and easy to digest. For concept clarity and extra practice, titles like “Concepts of Physics” by HC Verma for Physics and “Modern's ABC of Chemistry” by S P Jauhar for Chemistry are invaluable companions—each known for simplifying tough ideas and offering plenty of solved examples.

A score of 85 marks in PCB in KCET could hardly guarantee a seat in a top government college in a veterinary (BVSc & A.H.). As an example, the GM category cut off rank in 2024 was 892 in Veterinary College Shimoga, and 22082 in KVAFSU another main university. Although 85 marks may possibly put a candidate in the 30,000-40,000th rank, at least when it comes to veterinary cut-offs the reduced score tends to be 130+ (absorbing also the normalized PUC marks). Your options might be very much along the lines of your category (SC/ST/OBC cut-offs are lower) and the college. Take into consideration all counseling rounds.

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).

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.
