KCET rank is not calculated directly from board marks alone
KCET rank is based on a combined merit score from:
KCET entrance exam marks
Class 12 board marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics
For engineering, the usual weightage is:
50% KCET marks
50% Class 12 PCM marks
Convert board marks to percentage in PCM:
Add Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics marks
Divide by total maximum marks
Multiply by 100
Convert KCET marks to percentage:
Add KCET marks in relevant subjects
Divide by total maximum marks
Multiply by 100
Calculate combined score:
Combined score = 50% of KCET percentage + 50% of PCM board percentage
Rank is then assigned based on the combined score compared with other candidates
If two candidates have the same combined score, tie-breaking rules are applied
For exact rank prediction, use the official KCET rank list or cutoff trends
For non-engineering courses, the weightage and subjects may differ
