Hello student,

With a rank of 80,784 in the KCET exam, gaining admission to top engineering colleges in Karnataka may be challenging, as the cutoffs for popular branches and colleges tend to be quite competitive. However, you still have options:

Possible Options:

1. Tier-2 and Tier-3 Colleges : You may find opportunities in some tier-2 or tier-3 engineering colleges where the cutoff ranks are relatively higher. These colleges often have branches that are less sought after.
   
   

2. Branches with Lower Demand : Consider opting for engineering branches that have lower demand, such as Civil, Environmental, or some specialized courses, as these may have higher cutoff ranks compared to popular branches like Computer Science or Electronics.

3. Private Colleges : Many private engineering colleges in Karnataka have their own admission criteria, and you may have a better chance of securing a seat there, possibly through management quota.
   
   

4. Diploma to Degree Pathway : If you are open to it, pursuing a diploma in engineering and then lateral entry into a degree program could be another pathway.
   
   Conclusion:

While the chances of getting into top colleges with an 80,784 rank may be slim, exploring tier-2 and tier-3 colleges, along with private institutions, will give you options for furthering your education in engineering. Make sure to check the specific college cutoffs and consider other factors like location and course offerings when making your decision.
