I got rank 29286 in KCET exam 2025, As my preference is AI&ML,AI&CS,AI&DS and core Computer Science and I belong to Category 3B Female. What are the possible Colleges I might get in Bangalore? As there are less chances for me to get CSE in Top colleges in Bangalore, Can I consider taking ECE branch?
Ans: Narahari, With a KCET rank of 29,286 (3B Female), securing CSE/AI/ML/DS in top Bangalore colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, or MSRIT is unlikely (2024 3B cutoffs: CSE ~800–2,000). However, mid-tier institutes like CMRIT Bangalore (AI/ML cutoff: ~19,814 in 2024) or New Horizon College of Engineering (CSE cutoff: ~15,834) may offer seats in later rounds for AI/ML/DS, though competitive. For ECE, consider CMRIT (cutoff: ~30,356) or NHCE (cutoff: ~23,918) if ranks align. Explore PES Mandya (CSE cutoff: ~25,400–25,700) or BMSIT Bengaluru (ECE cutoff: ~18,236) as backups. Prioritize branch relevance over prestige, and monitor KCET counseling for vacancy-driven drops in cutoffs. If set on Bangalore, accept ECE in mid-tier colleges; otherwise, consider tier-2 cities for CSE/AI specializations. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
