PESITM KCET Cutoff 2026 — Category overview
Admission to PESITM through KCET counseling will use category-wise closing ranks. Expected ranges vary widely across categories: for example, 1G is estimated 29,427–223,431 , SCG 62,825–260,419 , and STG 35,857–272,045 . Several reserved categories show high upper ranges reflecting extended seat allocation across later rounds.
Counseling will apply round-wise closing ranks to allocate seats. Candidates must match their KCET counseling rank and category to these expected ranges to assess realistic chances for a seat at PESITM.

What students should note now
These are expected ranges based on past cutoff trends, not official figures. Wait for the official PESITM/KCET cutoff release from the examination authorities before making final counseling choices.
If your KCET rank falls within the lower end of a course range, you stand a stronger chance in early rounds. Ranks towards the upper end typically reflect seats opening in later rounds or through management/quota conversions.
Authorities will publish the official cutoff and round-wise closing ranks; candidates should watch the KCET counseling portal and PESITM notifications for confirmed figures.
