KCET

With 49 marks in KCET and a PCM score of 205, your chances for top-tier AI colleges might be limited, but you can still explore emerging institutes in Bangalore. Colleges such as Acharya Institute of Technology, AMC Engineering College, and HKBK College of Engineering may consider this range. These institutions offer AI or AI-integrated programs with strong lab support and industry interface. Keep an eye on COMEDK counselling too, where private universities like Presidency University or Jain University may offer AI seats with flexible cutoffs.

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.

To get into PES University, you'll need:

- *General Category*: Rank 874 (2025 cutoff), 140-150 marks out of 180

- *OBC Category*: Rank 1018 (2025 cutoff)

- *Computer Science*: 150-160 marks out of 180 for a rank of 1205-1570

Actual marks required may vary.

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.

With a KCET rank of one lakh nineteen thousand two hundred seventy-eight, securing a seat in Information Science at top Karnataka colleges is unlikely this year, as typical cutoffs for Information Science are generally below twenty thousand. You might explore private or less competitive colleges where higher ranks can be accepted. Checking counseling options and applying broadly could improve chances. Keep an eye on spot rounds or newer institutes that might have relaxed cutoffs around your rank.

With ninety-six marks in KCET and a board exam score of two hundred sixty-nine in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, your rank is likely to be between twenty thousand and thirty thousand overall this year. The rank is calculated using a combined formula that equally considers your KCET marks and board scores. With this mark-profile, you might fall just inside the top quarter among the test-takers of twenty-five, but higher seats in highly sought branches could be challenging to secure directly.
