Dear student, According to the Vignan's LARA Institute of Technology & Science website, the cut-off for the CSE(AI&ML) course for OC category in the 2022-23 academic year was 40,000. So, with a rank of 42,000, your chances of getting admission to this course are slim. However, you can still try your luck by applying for the course and hoping that there are enough seats available after the first round of admissions.
