Before real option entry, KEA runs a mock allotment using the trial options students enter. The resulting closing rank for each college, branch and category is an early read on demand — which seats are filling at sharp ranks and which still have room. It is not a final allotment, but it is the best signal you have for shaping your real option list.
The Rank Predictor takes your KCET 2025 rank and category and lists every college and branch whose mock closing rank was at or above your rank — sorted from safest to tightest. The Cutoff Explorer goes the other way: pick a specific college and branch and read its closing rank across all 24 categories (General Merit and categories 1, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, SC and ST, each in General, Rural and Kannada variants).
Reserved-category cutoffs usually close at a higher rank number than GM for the same college and branch, so always select your exact category. In the Explorer, a blank cell means that category had no mock cutoff for that branch — often because no seat was allotted there in the mock round.
Put the choices you genuinely want most at the top of your KEA option list. Then balance the rest using your predictor results: a few ambitious options (closing rank a little above your rank), several safe ones (around your rank), and backups (well below). Plan around a ± 20% buffer on your rank to absorb the shift between mock and real rounds, and confirm every figure against the official KEA list before you submit.
It is the indicative closing rank for each college, branch and category that KEA produces in the first-round mock allotment, based on the trial options students enter before real option entry. It helps you gauge demand and plan your option order. It is not a final seat allotment.
Mock cutoffs reflect trial options and shift once real option entry begins. Use them as an early signal for shortlisting, not a guarantee of admission. Keep a ± 20% buffer on your rank when planning.
A blank cell means there was no mock cutoff for that category in that college and branch — usually because no seat was allotted there in the mock round, or the category was not offered for that course.
