How to Check the KCET 2026 Round 1 Cutoff?
The KCET cutoff represents the closing rank for a particular college, course and reservation category. It is the rank of the last candidate who received a seat in Round 1 counselling.
Candidates with a rank equal to or better than the published closing rank may qualify for admission, depending on seat availability, category and submitted preferences.
KCET 2026 Category-Wise Cutoff
The cutoff ranks are different for the General Merit, SC, ST, OBC and Hyderabad-Karnataka categories. Candidates must check the cutoff list applicable to their exact stream, category, college and branch.
The cutoff should not be checked only against the General Merit rank, as reserved-category closing ranks may be different. Candidates should download the relevant KCET 2026 Round 1 cutoff PDF from the KEA portal for accurate details.
