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.
Get expert advice on college selection, admission chances, and career path in a personalized counselling session.
Below, we have compared the 2025 KCET closing rank with the 2026 closing rank to provide clarity to students who are seeking admission to the best engineering colleges in Karnataka. MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology recorded good improvements across different engineering branches.

On Question asked by student community
Hello Student,
As per our database, the institute does not offer bachelor's courses. The official website is also not working. Are there any other colleges that you might be interested in for pursuing BSc Nursing?
Hello,
With a KCET rank of around 40,300 in the SC category, getting ECE or EEE at top colleges such as MS Ramaiah, PES University, BMSCE, or Dayananda Sagar may be difficult based on previous trends. Since you have filled only four colleges, you should add more colleges and branches
Hello Student,
With your KCET rank of 208,454, there is no chance that you will get a seat in a top engineering branch if you go through regular counselling. You might have a chance of getting a seat in a lower-tier college or a lower-demand branch, too, through later rounds
Hello Student,
Can you please specify how many marks you scored in KCET 2026?
You can also use the predictor tool to determine the college you can get based on your rank and score in the given link: KCET College Predictor 2026
Hello Dear Student,
Yes, with a KCET agriculture practical rank of 5,600, you have a moderate to good chance of getting a B.Sc. Agriculture or allied science seat in several government and regional agricultural colleges across Karnataka during the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) counselling.
