KCET

KCET is one of the top accepted exams for admission to BE-offering colleges in Bangalore, including BMS Institute of Technology and Management. As per official sources, the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has announced the schedule for KCAT 2025. As per that, the exam is scheduled to be held on Apr 16 and Apr 17,  2025.

BMS Institute of Technology and Management offers a full-time BE programme. Admissions to the programme are made based on valid entrance exam scores. The institute accepts KCET scores. It is a national-level entrance exam conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA). The fee to appear for the exam ranges from INR 250 to INR 750.

Note: The above-mentioned application fees is as per official sources. However, it is subject to change.

Yes, you can use NEET, KCET, and JEE together, but only after 2nd PUC (12th standard), as these examinations need a 10+2 qualification or equivalent appearing status. As you are in 1st PUC now, you can begin preparation for all three exams, but you will be eligible to appear for them only in your 2nd PUC year (next year). NEET is for medical studies, JEE for engineering, and KCET is for Karnataka-origin admissions in medical (except for MBBS/BDS) as well as in engineering colleges. Concentrate hard on fundamentals in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology to get good scores.

As its KCET rank is 44,000, getting admission in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch of University BDT College of Engineering (UBDTCE), Davanagere, could be out of reach. The closing ranks for CSE at UBDTCE used to be considerably lower in earlier years.

To gain admission to JSS College of Pharmacy or Acharya BM Reddy College of Pharmacy for a Pharm D programme without KCET scores, you would typically need to apply directly to the college based on your 12th standard marks and merit in a qualifying entrance exam conducted by the respective institution; however, most likely, you will still require a competitive score on their own entrance exams, not the KCET, to secure a seat. 

With a KCET rank of 27029, it is unlikely that you will get admission to the CS branch at Ramaiah College (MSRIT) as the cutoff for the CS branch is usually much lower, typically falling within the top few thousand ranks based on previous year trends; a rank around 3000 or below would be needed for a good chance at admission.
