Key Takeaways from KCET Cutoff Trends

Top colleges getting more competitive

RVCE, PES, and MSRIT CSE cutoffs have tightened by 5–15% over 3 years. More students are targeting top Bangalore colleges.

2026 prediction: Use 2025 data + 5–10% tighter

For 2026 planning, assume KCET cutoffs for top colleges may be 500–2,000 rank numbers tighter than 2025 for CSE. Other branches may show smaller changes.

Government college cutoffs relatively stable

UVCE Bangalore and other government college KCET cutoffs have been more stable, as total seat supply is fixed and demand has distributed across more private options.

Frequently Asked Questions – KCET Previous Year Cutoff

Common questions about KCET historical cutoff data and trends

1
Where can I find official KCET previous year cutoff data?
Official KCET previous year cutoff ranks are available at kea.kar.nic.in — the Karnataka Examinations Authority website. After each KEA counselling round, the official closing rank document is published for all college-branch-category combinations. This is the most reliable data source for KCET cutoff research.
2
How have KCET cutoffs for RVCE changed over the years?
RVCE Bangalore CSE closing rank in KCET has been consistently in the 1,000–3,000 range for GM category over 2023–2025. There has been marginal tightening due to increasing competition. IT branch at RVCE moved from 4,000–7,000 in 2023 to approximately 3,000–6,000 in 2025. Overall, top RVCE branches have remained competitive with slight upward trend in rank requirement (lower rank number = more competitive).
3
What is the KCET cutoff trend for BMS College of Engineering?
BMS College of Engineering Bangalore CSE closing rank in KCET: 2023 — 12,000–22,000; 2024 — 11,000–21,000; 2025 — 10,000–20,000 (GM category). There is a modest trend of cutoffs getting tighter (lower rank numbers needed) as BMS College's reputation grows and more students target it. IT at BMS shows similar trajectory.
4
Why do KCET cutoffs vary between Round 1 and Round 2?
KCET Round 1 cutoffs are higher (lower rank numbers, more competitive) than Round 2 for the same college-branch. This happens because Round 1 allottees who upgrade to better options vacate their Round 1 seats — these seats then reappear in Round 2 at slightly relaxed cutoffs. This creates opportunities for candidates with slightly higher rank numbers to get their preferred colleges.
5
How many rounds are there in KCET 2026 counselling?
KCET 2026 KEA counselling has 3 rounds: Round 1 (July 2026), Round 2 (August 2026), and a Mop-up/Special Round (August–September 2026). After 3 KEA rounds, colleges can fill remaining seats through Spot Admission (Special Admission) in October 2026. The mop-up round has more dynamic cutoffs as very few seats remain and both higher and lower rank candidates compete for specific seats.
