KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff 2026: College & Category-Wise Cutoff

The KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff 2026 represents the closing ranks recorded during Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) seat allotment for B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture. The cutoff changes according to the college, category, seat type and counselling stage, so there is no single rank applicable to every BSc Agriculture college.

The official KEA UGCET 2026 cutoff document used for this article is specifically for Agri (BSc)(Theory) and provides college-wise and category-wise provisional allotment ranks for the Rest of Karnataka seat type. KEA's official UGCET 2026 Provisional Allotment Cut-Off Ranks for Agri (BSc)(Theory), generated on July 13, 2026, provide college-wise ranks for the Rest of Karnataka seat type. For example, the GM closing rank is 2,347.5 at the College of Agriculture, GKVK Campus, Bengaluru, while it is 4,644 at the College of Agriculture, Dharwad and 12,197 at the College of Agriculture, Gangavathi.

KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff 2026: Highlights

KCET is conducted by KEA for several undergraduate programmes, including Farm Science and agriculture courses. In 2026, the examination was held on April 23 and 24, while the result was released on June 6. Counselling involves registration, document verification, option entry and seat allotment.

What is KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff?

The KCET BSc Agriculture cutoff is the rank recorded for a particular B.Sc. Agriculture seat during KEA allotment. A closing rank is specific to the college, course, category and seat type shown in the cutoff document. Therefore, comparing your rank with a general BSc Agriculture figure can give a misleading picture.

For example, the official 2026 document records a GM closing rank of 2,347.5 for GKVK Bengaluru, 4,644 for Dharwad and 6,146 for Mandya. These figures belong to the same agriculture course but different colleges, demonstrating why college-wise cutoff data matters.

• Opening Rank: The first rank recorded for a particular allotment combination.
• Closing Rank: The last rank recorded for that combination.
• Provisional Cutoff: A cutoff published with a provisional allotment.
• Category Cutoff: The rank corresponding to a particular KEA category

KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff 2026: College-Wise Cutoff

The official KEA data shows a wide spread in 2026 GM closing ranks among agriculture colleges. GKVK Bengaluru closed at 2,347.5, followed by Dharwad at 4,644, Mandya at 6,146, Shivamogga Navile at 5,966 and Hassan at 7,642 in the published Rest of Karnataka list.

Note: The KEA PDF uses specific category codes such as 1G, 2AG, 2BG, 3AG and 3BG. These should not be simplified into a generic OBC category. A dash indicates that no rank is displayed for that particular category in the document.

The same college can have substantially different closing ranks across KEA categories. At GKVK Bengaluru, for example, the published ranks range from 2,347.5 for GM to 6,341 for 2BG and 3,749 for STG. Students should therefore compare their rank using the exact category shown in their KEA record.

KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff 2026: Other Colleges

The KEA list extends beyond government agriculture colleges and includes participating private agriculture institutions. The GM closing rank is 17,912 at Sri S. Kariyappa College, 15,200 at Adichunchanagiri College, 16,872 at KLE College and 12,767 at Alva's Institute in the published list.

Note: These are provisional allotment cutoff ranks, not predicted ranks. They apply to the specific KEA document's Rest of Karnataka seat type and should not be generalized to every quota or counselling category.

KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff 2025

The KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff 2025 can be used to understand the previous year's admission trend. The table below uses KEA's official UGCET-2025 Session 2 provisional allotment cutoff data for B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture under the Rest of Karnataka seat type. Cutoff ranks vary by college, category and allotment round, so the figures should not be treated as a single statewide cutoff.

The official KEA data also provides separate closing ranks for categories such as 1G, 1R, 2AG, 2AR, 2BG, 3AG, 3BG, SCG and STG, wherever seats were allotted under those categories. For example, at GKVK Bengaluru, the 2025 Session 2 GM cutoff was 6,081.5, while the corresponding 1G and 2AG cutoffs were 8,397 and 10,895, respectively.

2025 Cutoff Status

Important: Do not combine 2025 mock-allotment ranks with final/provisional allotment ranks. KEA published separate mock and allotment cutoff documents, and the 2025 Session 2 allotment figures above are preferable for historical comparison.

How Much Rank is Required for BSc Agriculture in KCET?

The 2026 KEA data gives a clearer answer than a single predicted rank. For GM candidates in the published Rest of Karnataka list, the closing rank is 2,347.5 at GKVK Bengaluru, 4,644 at Dharwad, 5,966 at Shivamogga Navile, 6,146 at Mandya, 7,642 at Hassan and 12,197 at Gangavathi.

These figures are specific to the published seat type and course. A candidate with a rank beyond one college's closing rank may still find seats at another participating college, subject to category, seat availability and subsequent allotment.

KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff: How Rank is Calculated

For Farm Science admissions, KCET rank calculation differs from the engineering ranking method. KEA's 2026 information states that Farm Science merit is calculated using equal proportions of qualifying-examination and KCET marks in PCMB. The same source separately notes the 50% practical-mark requirement for Agriculturist Quota candidates. This distinction is important because students should not apply the engineering KCET ranking formula to BSc Agriculture admissions.

Factors Affecting KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff

The 2026 cutoff figures show why college, category and seat type must be considered together. GKVK's GM closing rank is 2,347.5, while Gangavathi's is 12,197 in the same official cutoff document. Such variation results from differences in college preference, available seats and category-wise allotment. Key factors include:

• KCET rank and Farm Science merit: The merit calculation uses qualifying-exam and KCET performance.
• College preference: Candidate option entry influences allotment.
• Seat availability: Vacancies can alter later allotments.
• Category: KEA publishes separate category-specific ranks.
• Seat type: The supplied PDF specifically covers Rest of Karnataka.
• Counselling stage: Closing ranks can change as allotment progresses.
• Candidate choices: Higher-preference options can affect where seats are allotted.

KCET BSc Agriculture Cutoff: Round-Wise Changes

Cutoff ranks should always be linked to the allotment round. KEA's KCET 2026 counselling includes Round 1, a second allotment round, a second extended round and a special round, while the cutoff document supplied here is specifically a provisional allotment cutoff generated on July 13, 2026.
