I got 1.35lakh rank in kcet will I get ai and ml course

Ans: Snjana, With a KCET rank of 1.35 lakh (135,000), securing admission in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning courses presents significant challenges but limited opportunities exist in select private engineering colleges across Karnataka. The expected KCET cutoff rank for AI/ML in top colleges ranges between 1,000-3,600, with premier institutions like RVCE, BMSCE, and MSRIT closing admissions within the top 2,000-4,000 ranks. However, several mid-tier and lower-tier private colleges accept ranks up to 1.30-1.40 lakh for AI/ML programs, including colleges like APS College of Engineering (AI/ML at 1,26,676 rank), Gopalan College of Engineering (CS with AI/ML at 1,18,000), and Jain Institute of Technology (AI at 1,39,136). These colleges typically charge annual fees ranging from ?1-2.5 lakhs through regular admission and ?3-8 lakhs through management quota. While government engineering colleges and popular branches will likely be closed at your rank, private engineering colleges in Karnataka offer viable pathways with over 135 institutions providing AI/ML programs. The placement prospects at these colleges vary significantly, with lower-tier institutions showing moderate placement rates compared to top-tier colleges. Recommendation: Apply to multiple private engineering colleges including APS College of Engineering, Gopalan College of Engineering, Jain Institute of Technology, and other mid-tier institutions accepting ranks around 1.30-1.40 lakh for AI/ML programs, while also exploring management quota options in better colleges if budget permits. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
