I understand your concern regarding the KCET cutoff for OBC candidates . Based on the information available:

KCET 2024 Cutoff for OBC Candidates

• Minimum Qualifying Marks : To be eligible for counseling and seat allocation, OBC candidates need to secure at least 40% in the KCET exam.

• Expected Cutoff Ranks : While the exact cutoff ranks can vary each year based on factors like seat availability and the number of applicants, previous trends suggest that for OBC candidates, the cutoff ranks for popular branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) can range between 15,000 to 25,000 . However, these are approximate figures and can change annually.

Factors Influencing Cutoff Ranks

• Seat Matrix : The number of seats available in each course and college plays a significant role in determining the cutoff ranks.

• Number of Applicants : A higher number of applicants can lead to increased competition, potentially raising the cutoff ranks.

• Difficulty Level of the Exam : If the exam is perceived as more challenging, the cutoff ranks might be slightly lower.

• Reservation Policies : The distribution of seats under various categories (like OBC, SC, ST, etc.) affects the cutoff ranks for each category.

Tips for OBC Candidates

• Aim for a Higher Score : To increase your chances of securing a seat in your desired branch and college, aim for a score above the expected cutoff range.

• Stay Updated : Regularly check the official KCET website for the latest updates on cutoff ranks and seat allotment.

• Participate in All Rounds : Engage in all rounds of counseling to maximize your chances of getting a seat.
