Question by Deepti on Jun 24, 2025Hindi

Sir my brother got 34400 rank in kcet and he want cse but he is ready to take core branch like AIML , IS etc but we are getting confusion will we get college or not if yes which college sir can u suggest plz and DSU have chance for 2nd round in getting AIML if we get this it will be good sir or any other option is their or not sir...

Ans: Deepti, With a KCET rank of 34,400, your brother has viable options for engineering admission, though CSE at top-tier colleges is challenging. The minimum qualifying KCET rank typically ranges between 40,001-50,000, making his rank well within the admission threshold. For CSE branches, cutoffs at top colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, and MSRIT close well below 8,000-10,000, placing them out of reach. However, AIML and Information Science branches at mid-tier colleges remain accessible, with AIML cutoffs extending up to 47,600-48,800 at various institutions.

For Dayananda Sagar University (DSU), the overall KCET cutoff ranges from 21,178-257,314 across all categories and rounds. DSU's B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering (AIML) had a last round closing rank of 33,135 for General category in 2024, making admission possible for your brother in Round 2 counselling. Alternative strong options include colleges like CMR Institute of Technology (AIML cutoff: 14,000-14,800), BMS Institute of Technology (AIML cutoff: 11,070-14,712), Global Academy of Technology (AIML cutoff: 23,200-23,300), and RNS Institute of Technology (AIML cutoff: 15,900-16,000). Private colleges generally accept ranks up to 80,000 for CSE and 90,000-100,000 for other branches.

The recommendation is to actively participate in Round 2 counselling for DSU's AIML program while simultaneously applying to CMR Institute of Technology, BMS Institute of Technology, Global Academy of Technology, and RNS Institute of Technology for AIML or Information Science branches, as these colleges offer strong placement records and industry exposure at your rank range. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
