Hello there,

With a KCET rank of 161,958, securing a government or "free" seat in B.Sc. Nursing might be challenging, as these seats generally have high demand and are typically awarded to candidates with higher ranks. However, you may still find options in private colleges for a management quota seat, though these may come with higher fees.

If you’re interested in government financial aid or scholarships, you can also check for any applicable state or institutional scholarships to reduce the cost.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
