Dear sir, my son Nikhil got kea rank 56703.will you get AI &ML or CSE for Aided or govt engineering colleges. Please reply sir....

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!

Ans: Hello Ron,
We are unable to predict the SRM and their parallel universities regarding the admission and counseling process. Sorry.
Best of luck.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Ans: Kushal, With a KCET rank of 29,439, you can secure admission in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at several mid-tier Karnataka colleges. Top institutes like RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, and PES have much lower cutoffs (typically below 15,000 for AI/ML), but colleges such as Global Academy of Technology (2024 AI & Data Science cutoff: 35,999), DSATM (cutoff: ~31,273), and K.S. School of Engineering and Management (cutoff: 61,939–78,624) are within reach. Other options include Presidency University, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, and Reva University, where AI/Data Science cutoffs frequently extend beyond 25,000–40,000. Placement rates in these colleges for AI/Data Science branches are typically 50–80%, with growing industry demand, modern labs, and active campus recruitment.

Recommendation:
Participate in KCET counselling and prioritize Global Academy of Technology, DSATM, and K.S. School of Engineering and Management for AI & Data Science. These institutes match your rank, offer solid infrastructure, and maintain good placement support in AI fields. Fill all possible options to maximize your admission chances. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
