Will my son get CSE or ECE with 7500 KCET score in MSRIT or BMSCE?

Ans: With a KCET rank of 33,415 in the SC category, your son will not be able to secure Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in top Bangalore colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, or PES University. The 2024 KCET closing ranks for CSE in the SC category were 4,706 at RVCE, 2,131 at BMSCE, and 26,769 at MSRIT, all significantly lower than your son's rank. Even in the final rounds, these colleges rarely see CSE cutoffs for SC candidates go beyond 10,000–27,000, and for PES University, the cutoffs are even more competitive. While MSRIT’s closing rank for SC in CSE was 26,769, your son's rank of 33,415 is outside this range. Placement rates for CSE in these institutes are high, with 93–97% of students placed at RVCE, BMSCE, and MSRIT, and top recruiters visiting annually. However, for your son's rank, he may get lower-demand branches or CSE in newer or less competitive colleges, but not in these top-tier institutes.

The recommendation is to explore CSE or IT in emerging Bangalore colleges or consider allied branches in better-ranked institutes, as CSE in RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, or PES University is not possible at a 33,415 SC rank this year. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
