KCET 2025 Marks vs Rank

The KCET Marks vs Rank shows a relation between the marks scored by a candidate and what rank they can get. Candidates scoring above 120 marks are expected to fall in the top 100-200 ranks, making them eligible for admission to top-tier institutes and high-demand branches. Those with 100-119 marks fall in the 200-500 rank range, suitable for reputable institutes but slightly lower-ranked branches. Candidates with 85-99 marks will fall in the 500-1000 rank range, typically securing seats in less competitive branches like Mechanical or Civil Engineering.

KCET Marks vs Rank for Engineering Courses (General Category)

Marks Range Approximate Rank Course Type Insight
Above 120 Top 100–200 Competitive branches (CSE, EE, ECE) Ideal for top institutes and branches
100–119 200–500 Engineering (other branches) Reputable institutes, some competitive branches
85–99 500–1000 Mechanical, Civil, IT Good for mid-tier colleges and courses
70–84 1000–2500 Less competitive branches Entry to less competitive courses
50–69 2500–5000 Less competitive branches Likely to get into private colleges
Below 50 5000+ Less competitive courses Difficult for top institutes

KCET Marks vs Rank for Medical & Pharmacy Courses

Marks Range Approximate Rank Course Type Insight
Above 120 Top 500 MBBS, BDS Top medical colleges, high demand
110–120 500–1500 MBBS, BDS Good for lower-ranked medical colleges
90–110 1500–5000 Pharmacy, Medical Suitable for pharmacy courses and lower-tier medical colleges
70–89 5000+ Pharmacy, Medical Accessible for pharmacy courses, difficult for MBBS/BDS
  • Engineering Candidates:

    Scoring above 100 marks is crucial for getting admission into top engineering institutes for competitive branches like CSE and EE.

  • Medical and Pharmacy Candidates:

    Candidates with scores above 120 marks are likely to secure seats in top medical courses (MBBS), while pharmacy courses are more accessible with scores ranging from 70–90 marks.

  • Reserved Categories:

    Reserved category candidates generally have lower cutoff marks than the General category, meaning a given score will translate to a better rank.

What is the rank for 70 marks in KCET?

A score of 70 marks results in a rank between 1000 and 2500 in the engineering courses with less competitive branches like Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering and IT at mid-tier or private institutes.

  • Engineering (70 marks): A rank between 1000 and 2500 for less competitive branches.
  • Medical (70 marks): Likely to be beyond 5000 rank, so securing MBBS/BDS is difficult.
  • Pharmacy (70 marks): Possible admission to pharmacy programs in private colleges or lower-ranked institutes.
Marks Approximate Rank Course Type Insight
70 marks 1000–2500 Engineering (Mechanical, Civil, IT) Likely to get admission in mid-tier or private colleges in less competitive branches
5000+ Medical (MBBS/BDS) MBBS/BDS difficult but possible for pharmacy courses
5000+ Pharmacy Pharmacy courses in private colleges or lower-ranked institutes

Is 70 a good score in KCET?

Scoring a 70 mark in KCET is generally considered a moderate score; this score falls in the rank range of 5,500-6,000 in the engineering courses, which can get the opportunity to get the admission in less competitive branches like Civil and Mechanical Engineering at mid-tier or private institutions.

A score of 70 marks is generally insufficient for securing a seat in MBBS or BDS programs at reputable medical colleges.

Candidates with 70 marks may find opportunities in pharmacy programs (e.g., B.Pharm) at various institutions, though options may be limited to private colleges or less competitive programs.

KCET Cutoff 2025 Category-wise

The category-wise cutoff can differ significantly. Reserved categories like OBC, SC, ST, and EWS typically have a lower cutoff than the General category.
