MSRIT Bangalore: Cutoff Trends & Counselling Process
Introduction
Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT), Bangalore, is one of the most sought-after engineering colleges in India, attracting thousands of students through KCET & COMEDK UGET every year. Due to its reputation, the cutoff ranks for admission to various B.E. programs at MSRIT Bangalore remain among the highest in Karnataka. Understanding the cutoff trends & counseling process helps aspirants plan better and improve their chances of securing admission to their preferred branch.
KCET Cutoff Trends
- The KCET cutoff represents the closing rank at which admission to a specific branch at MSRIT Bangalore is granted for Karnataka-domiciled students.
- It varies every year based on factors like exam difficulty level, number of applicants, available seats & category.
- Popular branches like Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) and Information Science & Engineering (ISE) usually close below Rank 1000.
- Branches such as Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AI & ML) also record very high closing ranks.
- Core branches like Mechanical, Civil & Electrical Engineering generally have comparatively higher closing ranks.
- Reservation categories (SC/ST/OBC) enjoy relaxed cutoffs as per KEA norms.
- Candidates can check branch-wise cutoff lists on the official KEA website after each round of seat allotment.
COMEDK Cutoff Trends
- The COMEDK cutoff applies to students from outside Karnataka or those not eligible for KCET.
- Cutoffs are generally higher (numerically lower ranks) for top branches due to heavy competition.
- For top-performing students, MSRIT’s CSE & ISE branches typically close around Rank 600–1000 under COMEDK.
- Branches like ECE, EEE, Mechanical & Civil have relatively moderate cutoffs ranging between 2000–7000.
- The cutoff ranks fluctuate annually based on candidate preferences, number of applicants & overall performance.

- Once allotted, candidates must confirm acceptance, download the allotment letter & report to MSRIT.
- Both processes are completely online & transparent, ensuring fair allocation based on merit.
