KCET 2026 Round 1 Closing Rank: The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has released the KCET closing rank 2026 for Round 1 at the official website- cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. The complete branch-wise KCET 2026 round 1 closing rank for all engineering colleges is available online. In 2025, the last rank selected for the CSE course in RV College of Engineering was 234, whereas the same stream closed at 144 in 2026. This shows a high competition among KCET aspirants for getting a seat in RVCE. A similar trend is visible in other courses as well. Below, we have provided a detailed comparison of KCET Round 1 closing rank 2026 with 2025 to know the best available options.
There is a noticeable change in the closing rank of some core branches as well, which indicates that students are exploring a wider range of engineering courses instead of limiting their options to traditional CSE and allied branches.

Dear Student,
Admission chances depend on the exam, category, state and college. With a rank of 1.24 lakh, you may have a less chance of getting admission to ECE/VLSI in top colleges. But some lower-cutoff colleges may remain possible. Check previous closing ranks before choice filling.
For B.V.Sc . & A.H. through Karnataka KCET, the important point is that the merit calculation is different from engineering admissions.
For B.V.Sc . & A.H., Karnataka's 2026 rules state that eligibility requires 50% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English, with 40% for SC/ST/Category-1 and specified OBC categories. The
