Hello Aspirant,
Your PGCET Rank is 5882 and depending on the branch you are looking for at KLS Gogte Institute of Technology (Belagavi) there is a possibility of getting admission. For the branches like CSE, ECE and AIML in high demand branches overall, the cut off is usually lower. Instead for branches like Mechanical, Civil and some of the newer branches, you will likely get admission either in the last rounds or might have a chance in spot counseling. KLS Gogte college
Hey Ritika! With 5882 rank, getting into KLS Gogte is a bit tough because last year the cutoff was around 5900 for some branches. You are right on the edge, so chances are less but not impossible.
My suggestion: attend all rounds of counselling, because sometimes seats open up in later rounds. Also, keep other branches as backup options, that will increase your chances of admission.
