I'll tell you about calculation of marks and rank as well.(Engineering).
KCET Marks: Marks obtained in physics, chemistry and mathematics will be added and the maximum marks is 180.
KCET rank(engineering) : KCET rank will be calculated by considering the performances in KCET and QE (quallifying examination) as well.I will explain with an example ,let us assume that u have scored 131/180 in KCET and 288/300 in QE,then your % marks in KCET is 72.77% and in QE it is 96% now they will add this two( that is, the formula goes like this
Rank will be given
R={(%KCET+%QE)/200}100
(This is for better understanding)
In my example .
{(72.77+96)/200}100= 84.3
Then they will sort ,who has got more R(i have taken this R for better understanding) value will get good rank.
And the rank to a particular R value varies every year,
i,e. In KCET 2016 for R= 84.3 the rank was 2685.
But in KCET 2015 for R= 84.3 the rank was below 900.(as it dependent on number of candidates ,difficulty of question paper and competition level).
