KCET / UGCET 2025 First Round Provisional Allotment Cutoff
Two tools in one. Predict the colleges your 2025 rank reached in the first-round provisional allotment, or explore any college and branch to see its closing rank across all 24 categories. Use it to plan a realistic 2026 option-entry order.

What the First Round Provisional Allotment cutoff tells you
After real option entry closes, KEA runs the first round provisional allotment and publishes the closing rank for each college, branch and category. Unlike the mock, this is a live allotment result — a much firmer read on where ranks actually landed. It is still provisional: cutoffs can ease in the second and final rounds as candidates surrender seats, so treat it as a strong reference rather than the last word.
Two ways to use this tool
The Rank Predictor takes your KCET 2025 rank and category and lists every college and branch whose provisional 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).
Read your own category, not just General Merit
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 provisional cutoff for that branch — often because no seat was allotted there in the provisional round.
Turning provisional data into a 2026 option order
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 ± 15% buffer on your rank to absorb the easing between the provisional round and the later rounds, and confirm every figure against the official KEA list before you submit.
