KCET

No, applying as a rural student instead of an urban student on the KCET form should not cause any problems during counseling as long as you have the necessary documentation to prove your rural residency; however, it's crucial to ensure your documents are accurate to avoid any issues during verification, as authorities may cross-check your details with official records. 

A high competitive rank should be your target for admission into BSc Neuroscience at AJ College through KCET. There is no specific cutoff rank available for BSc Neuroscience admission at AJ College but I will provide related information. Students who achieve a rank of 11,514 in KCET can secure admission in BSc Agriculture through the examination. The rank requirement for admission to regular Mysore colleges stands at position 47,000 yet these numbers could adjust based on university and subject.

With a KCET rank of 25,113 in the OBC category, you have a range of options for engineering colleges in Karnataka. While top-tier branches like Computer Science and Electronics in premier institutions may have higher cutoffs, several reputable colleges offer admission to students within your rank range.

For instance, at Ramaiah Institute of Technology, the 2024 KCET cutoff ranks for OBC candidates were:

With a KCET rank of 18,000, securing admission to the Aerospace Engineering programme at BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE) through the general merit category is unlikely. Historically, the cutoff rank for this programme has been significantly lower. For instance, in 2024, the closing rank for Aerospace Engineering was 8,027.

Given your rank, you might consider alternative admission routes, such as the management quota. The annual fee for the Aerospace Engineering programme under the management quota is ?4,00,000
