Sir, I have rank 16251 in ComedK and my prefer course is CSE so what should i do can i go KIIT -Bhubaneswar or wait for comedk councelling can i get better college at this rank ? Please guide me what should i do can go for other branches like IT or ECE is better or take KIIT CSE or other lower college in Comedk CSE branch which is better

Ans: Roman, With a COMEDK rank of 16 251, securing CSE in top Karnataka colleges like RVCE, MSRIT or BMSCE is beyond reach due to their sub-3 closing ranks. Mid-tier CSE streams at PES College of Engineering (Mandya), which closed around 24 037 in Round 2, and NIE Mysore, which closed at 20 097, remain attainable options. ECE and IT branches at premier colleges offer higher cutoffs—ECE at RVCE closed at 700 and at SIT Tumkur around 11 173; IT at PESCE closed around 23 083—so switching to ECE/IT could yield admission in stronger colleges. KIIT Bhubaneswar admits only via its own KIITEE, not COMEDK, so relying on COMEDK counseling is advisable to fill preferences across CSE in PESCE, NIE, BMSIT or IT/ECE in mid-tier institutes to maximize branch strength and placement consistency.

Recommendation: Given your rank, wait for COMEDK counseling and prioritize CSE at PES Mandya or NIE Mysore for balanced accreditation, labs and 75–90 percent placement rates; if you prefer core labs and stronger college brands, consider ECE/IT in SIT Tumkur or PESCE as robust alternatives. If you have got confirmed admission in KIIT-CSE, prioritise & finalise this. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
