One of my friends got into the Acharya Institute of Technology for the Information Science Engineering course through the management quota. Interestingly, I was also looking up some decent colleges for Engineering in Karnataka for my sister, so I might be able to help you with your question.

I would further be mentioning certain situations or circumstances that you might face ahead. These can be:

• If, via KCET, you do manage to grab a college that does not match the rank that Acharya Institute of Technology belongs to, or is 2 or 3 ranks below of the institute, do not go for it as it would not be worth it.
• This is because there would not be any difference in the institutes that are after the ones mentioned in the top -10 to 15 ones. If you have potential, your performance would establish that.
• If you feel that ISE and CSE are genuinely your thing, go for it. If not, B.Sc. would be a better choice.
• If the total sum of 10 lakh rupees does not seem a big deal to your family or you. You can go for it.

Under circumstances similar or closer to these, you can think about pursuing it or securing otherwise. The choice is entirely yours.
