Huge Respect to KCET Toolkit Team — But Are 150+ Numbers Inflated?

Honestly, huge appreciation to the folks u/azalea**.** and u/brinter for building:

KCET Score Analyzer & KCET Toolkit

🔗 KCET Toolkit:

🔗 KCET Score Analyzer:

The effort they’ve put into estimating the number of students above each score range is genuinely impressive. Scanning and analyzing thousands of OMRs manually is definitely not a small task.

That said, does anyone else feel like the current listings might be slightly overestimating the number of very high scorers?

I’m mainly talking about the 145+, 150+, and 155+ ranges. The numbers feel a bit inflated considering:

  • the overall difficulty level of KCET this year,
  • general student reactions after the exam,
  • and the fact that this paper was considered tougher than usual by many.

I know they’ve mentioned that they scanned all submitted OMRs, but I’m wondering if there could still be some sampling bias involved — like:

  • duplicate submissions,
  • or OMR reading errors

While the data overall looks realistic, I personally find it a little hard to believe that 1800+ students scored 150+ in what many are calling a historically tough paper.

Especially because most other online predictors/resources (even though they’re often inconsistent and confusing) estimate something closer to 700–800 students above 150 or 155.

Not trying to discredit the websites at all — honestly, they’re probably the best publicly available data source right now. I just wanted to know whether anyone else feels the same after comparing this year’s paper difficulty with previous years.

Would love to hear opinions, especially from people who actually wrote KCET this year.

RVCE EEE students/alumni — how is the branch really in 2025/26? Placements, internships, professors, and core opportunities?

Hi everyone,

I am considering EEE at RVCE and wanted honest opinions from current students and recent alumni, especially from the 2024, 2025, and 2026 batches.

I am making this thread because the information online is very contradictory, and the situation seems to change every year. Different people are giving different answers about placements, company eligibility, internships, and whether EEE students can sit for ECE/ETE-type roles. So I wanted to ask directly from people who actually know the department.

I have a few questions:

  1. How is EEE at RVCE overall? Is the course manageable, interesting, and worth choosing if someone is interested in electronics, robotics, aerospace, embedded systems, power electronics, and possibly ISRO/DRDO-type work?
  2. How were EEE placements this year and last year? What was the approximate average, median, highest, and lowest package for EEE? Also, how many students actually got placed through campus?
  3. Which companies came specifically for EEE recently? Could you please list the latest company names that allowed EEE students? I am especially interested in both core and tech/IT companies.
  4. Can EEE students sit for ECE/ETE companies? Do companies that come for ECE, ETE, EIE, or electronics-related roles usually allow EEE students too? Or are EEE students blocked from many electronics/semiconductor/embedded companies?
  5. How are core opportunities in EEE? Are there good companies relevant to EEE? Or do most EEE students end up in mass recruitments rather than product based or good service based companies?
  6. Do ISRO, DRDO, or similar organisations actually come to RVCE? I have heard that ISRO/DRDO may come for research projects, internships, or collaborations. Is this actually true for EEE students? Have students from EEE got internships/projects/research exposure with ISRO, DRDO, HAL, BEL, BHEL, NAL, IISc, or similar organisations?
  7. Are the professors supportive? Do teachers and professors help students with projects, research papers, internships, recommendations, competitions, and higher studies? Are there good labs and project guidance?
  8. Is the syllabus relevant to today’s opportunities? Does the curriculum help with modern fields ? Or is it outdated and too theoretical?
  9. How is the workload compared to ECE/ETE? Is EEE significantly harder or more scoring/non-scoring? Does it affect CGPA and placement eligibility?
  10. For someone interested in robotics, aerospace, electronics, embedded systems, and defence/space organisations, is RVCE EEE a good choice?

I would really appreciate honest answers from current RVCE students, recent graduates, or anyone who knows the department well. Please mention your batch/year if possible, and whether your answer is based on personal experience or what you heard from seniors.

Thanks in advance.
