My son has a COMEDK rank of 1211 and KCET rank of 4556. What are his chances of getting Computer Science or Computer Related courses in RVCE? Or any other top colleges in Bangalore?

Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 1,211 and a KCET rank of 4,556, your son is highly unlikely to secure Computer Science or related branches at RV College of Engineering (RVCE) Bangalore. For 2024, the closing COMEDK rank for CSE at RVCE was 434 and for KCET, the CSE closing rank was 419, with Information Science and Data Science closing at 657 and 664 respectively—well below both your son’s ranks. Even for OBC category, the CSE cutoff via KCET is expected to be between 800–1,200. For other top Bangalore colleges, MSRIT’s CSE cutoff is typically under 1,500 (COMEDK) and 1,000–2,000 (KCET), and BMSCE also closes below 2,000 for CSE, making these options similarly out of reach. However, your son stands a strong chance for CSE, IT, or allied branches in respected colleges like Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, BMS Institute of Technology, and JSS Academy of Technical Education, where CSE and related branches usually close between 2,000–6,000 (COMEDK) and 3,000–6,000 (KCET). These colleges have robust placement records, industry connections, and good academic environments. The recommendation is to focus on CSE or allied branches in top mid-tier Bangalore colleges such as Dayananda Sagar, NMIT, BMSIT, and JSSATE, as RVCE and other top three colleges are not feasible at your son’s current ranks. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
