Hii There,
I hope you are doing well.
If you're open to pursuing Mechanical Engineering, you might want to consider PES University, which is superior to RNSIT. RNSIT, in turn, is better than SJBIT and BNMIT. All branches, including CSE and ECE, are reputed.

In Karnataka, lateral entry to the B.Pharm program is possible through lateral entry scheme. However, whether KCET specifically offers lateral entry to B.Pharm programs depends on KEA, which conducts the KCET exam.
KCET offers admissions to undergraduate courses in Karnataka. It may not offer lateral entry directly into the B.Pharm program.
