The official KCET Cutoff 2026 for Sir M Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology (SMVIT) Bangalore has not been released by the conducting authority. Until the authority publishes the final list, students should use expected ranges derived from previous years' trends to plan options for counselling.
SMVIT Bangalore KCET Cutoff 2026 — Category-wise expected ranges
Expected category-wise closing ranks cover a very wide span across categories. For the General Merit (GM) category the overall closing rank range is expected between 4485 and 173111 , while Round 1 for GM is projected between 4485 and 100567 .
Other category highlights include expected overall ranges of 8616-181473 for 1G , 7314-213310 for 2AG , 4983-230022 for 2BG , and 13540-207270 for STG . Several categories show closing ranks extending beyond 2,00,000 , reflecting lower-demand courses and large rank spreads.
Seat allotment in counselling will follow category-wise closing ranks; therefore these expected ranges are indicators, not final cutoffs. All candidates must appear in KCET 2026 and follow the official rank lists during counselling for confirmed allotment.
