Is 70 a good score in KCET?
A score of 70 is not enough for top engineering or medical institutes. It is suitable for less competitive engineering branches and pharmacy courses in mid-tier or private colleges.
What Does a 70 Mark Score in KCET Mean?
A score of 70 marks in KCET is generally considered a moderate score. This score falls in the rank range of 5,500-6,000 for engineering courses.
With this rank, admission is possible 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. However, options may be limited to private colleges or less competitive programs.
