KCET

Your rank can not be assumed as it will depend on the board that what cut-off is announced by them or how much students apply for the same.

It can not be assumed because it will change as per the candidates applying for it or on the level of questions in the exam.

Admission in engineering degrees at Manipal University is based All India Manipal University Online Entrance Test (MU-OET) only. KCET score is not valid score for admission in the university.

If you are not from Karnataka, you are not allowed under KCET (Government quota). So, you have to write ComedK exam (you have to pay management quota fee but no donation) or direct admission is possible (management fee + donation).

Hello Harshith,
BMSCE is a well-known college and one needs good ranking to get admission. CSE is presently at number 1, but mechanical is still in demand. I feel you should get rank less than 5K to get admission.

Hello Rohan,
Counselling does not involve any interview. Your ranking in KCET only will matter. Have no worries. Counselling will decide as to which college you may get based on your rank.
Best wishes.

Hello Harshit,
If you are getting a college in Karnataka, then I would advise you to grab the opportunity and get admission there. Your score in JEE Mains is not much for admission.

Hello Rohan,
After the first round of counselling, many students also go for counselling process in other entrance examinations. If a student gets a better college there, they cancel their admission in KCET. Such seats in the college gets vacant. To fill them up, the 2nd round of counselling takes place. The second round of counselling provides a lot of opportunity to switch to a better college than what a student had selected in the first round of counselling.
I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions, kindly revert.
