Firstly, let's calculate your board exam marks:

  • Your board exam marks is 273 out of 300.

  • 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 …
