FAQ’s for KCET 2025 Marks Vs Rank

Ques. How much rank is required in KCET for RV College of Engineering?

Ans. RV College of Engineering, which is among the best engineering colleges in Karnataka, admits students through KCET on merit and availability of seats. Being extremely popular, top cutoff ranks are needed, particularly for streams like CSE and ECE. Following is the branch-wise analysis based on past trends:

KCET 2025 Expected Closing Ranks for RVCE (General Category)

  • Computer Science and Engineering – Under 1,000
  • CSE (AI & ML) – Under 1,800
  • CSE (Data Science) – Under 1,600
  • CSE (Cyber Security) – Under 2,000
  • Electronics & Communication Engineering – Under 2,500
  • Electrical & Electronics Engineering – Under 7,000
  • Mechanical Engineering – Under 8,000
  • Civil Engineering – Under 10,000
  • Chemical Engineering – Under 12,000
  • Biotechnology – Under 13,000
  • Aerospace Engineering – Under 6,000

Ques. What is the cutoff for RV college?

Ans. RV College of Engineering is one of the top engineering colleges in Karnataka, and its KCET cutoffs are extremely competitive. Admission is offered on the basis of KCET ranks, and the cutoffs differ by branch, category, and gender.

CSE in RVCE is very competitive in all categories — even cutoffs in reserved categories rarely exceed 8,000.

New branches such as AI, Cyber Security, and Data Science are closing under 2,000 for GM and 9,000 for SC/ST.

ECE is a solid second choice and finishes between 2,000–2,500 for GM.

A 3,000–6,000 rank buffer for reserved category candidates is available in most core branches and emerging branches.

Branch-wise Cutoff Rank Range:

  • Computer Science & Engineering (CSE): GM – 800–1,000, OBC – 1,200–2,000, SC/ST – 4,500–8,000
  • Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning: GM – 1,200–1,800, SC/ST – 5,000–9,000
  • Data Science / Cyber Security: GM – 1,500–2,000, SC/ST – 5,000–9,500
  • Electronics & Communication Engineering: GM – 2,000–2,500, OBC – 2,800–4,000, SC/ST – 6,000–10,000
  • Electrical & Electronics Engineering: GM – 4,000–6,500
  • Mechanical Engineering: GM – 6,000–8,000, SC/ST – 12,000–18,000
  • Civil Engineering: GM – 8,000–10,000
  • Biotechnology: GM – 10,000–12,000
  • Chemical Engineering: GM – 10,000–12,000
  • Aerospace Engineering: GM – 5,000–6,500
