Considering my board exam score of 273 out of 300 and an expected KCET score in the range of 75 to 80 out of 180, what is the likely range of my KCET rank based on previous years trends, considering the standard 50:50 weightage of board exam marks and KCET marks?

Firstly, let's calculate your board exam marks:

• Your board exam marks is 273 out of 300.
• To get the percentage, calculate: (273/300)∗100 = 91%
• For the KCET ranking, 50% weightage is given to board marks, so your score contribution from board exams would be 91∗ 0.50 = 45.5

You are expecting 75 to 80 marks out of 180 in KCET. To get this out of 100, referring to the KCET Marks vs Rank Analysis, we can take the range:

• Lower end: (75/180) ∗100 is 41.67
• Upper end: (80/180) ∗100 is 44.44

So, your estimated KCET score out of 100 is roughly between 41.67 and 44.44. This is the sum of 50% of your normalised board marks and 50% of your KCET score out of 100.

• Lower end: 45.5 + 41.67 = 87.17
• Upper end: 45.5 + 44.44 = 89.94.

Based on the previous year's trends of the KCET Ranking System,

• A score in the range of 80 to 85 out of 180 in KCET might correspond to a rank between 4501 to 5000.
• A score in the range of 75 to 80 out of 180 in KCET might correspond to a rank between 5001 to 5500.

As your board mark is 91%, which is very good, this will influence the overall marks scored in the exam. With your estimated KCET marks of 75 to 80, your total score (out of 100) is likely to be 80+ marks and rank approximately between 3001 to 5500.
