Closing rank = the last KCET rank allotted a seat in that round for the general (rest of Karnataka) seat type, General Merit (GM) unless stated, as published by KEA. A blank means KEA published no figure for that round. Figures cover round 1 and round 2 (provisional). The bold figure is the round that put the college in this band. Other categories: KEA's general-seat closing ranks for Category 1 (Cat-1), 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, SC-A and ST, from the latest round with a figure.

What changes by round
Closing ranks move between rounds: as students upgrade, surrender seats or drop out, later rounds usually allot seats at higher ranks, but a branch with only a few seats left can close lower than it did in round 1. KEA marks round 2 as provisional; the figures can change when KEA confirms the allotment. Each table shows every published round, so you can see the movement for yourself.
KCET cutoff questions
Which colleges closed KCET 2026 ECE at a rank of 1,000–5,000?
5 colleges in and around Bangalore, lowest closing rank first: BMS College of Engineering (Electronics and Communication Engg., 1,350); PES University (Ring Road Campus) (B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering, 1,682); M S Ramaiah Institute of Technology (Electronics and Communication Engg., 2,094); BMS College of Engineering (Electronics and Communication Engg., 2,641), and the rest in the table above. Each figure is the highest General Merit rank allotted a seat across round 1 and round 2 (provisional).
Is the GM closing rank the cutoff for my category?
No. The table ranks colleges by the General Merit (GM) closing rank. Reserved categories, Kannada-medium and rural candidates close at their own ranks; the last column shows the main ones where KEA published a figure, and the profile pages show them by branch.
Will the 2027 cutoffs be the same?
Not necessarily. Closing ranks depend on each year's candidates, seat matrix and choices, so 2026 figures are a guide, not a promise. Keep colleges on both sides of your rank in your option list.
Where do these numbers come from?
From KEA's official cutoff PDFs: KEA round 1 cutoff PDF (2026), dated 15 Jul 2026, fetched 6 Nov 2026; KEA round 2 provisional cutoff PDF (2026), dated 23 Aug 2026, fetched 6 Nov 2026. Eduvy copies the figures as published and does not estimate any rank.
