What SCG category means in Karnataka (KEA)
Scheduled Caste — and the verified closing ranks it drew.
In short
SCG is Scheduled Caste — the KEA abbreviation table expands it as “Scheduled Caste — General”. The site holds 3,884 verified SCG closing ranks across 727 Karnataka colleges (2025, 2024).
Expansion read from KEA UGCET-2026 Information Bulletin (English), 17 January 2026 — Abbreviations.
What the SCG code tells you
SCG is Scheduled Caste — General, as the abbreviations table in KEA's UGCET-2026 Information Bulletin expands it. Read it in parts. SC is the category, Scheduled Caste, which follows the central classification. The G marks the General seats in that category; its Rural (R) and Kannada-medium (K) counterparts are separate columns, and each of those needs its own 10-year study certificate.
Which category applies to you is printed on your CET admission ticket and set by government order, not by this site. Compare SCG closing ranks with your category rank, not the overall rank printed largest on your result — KEA publishes both, and they are different numbers. This site holds 3,884 verified SCG closing ranks across 727 colleges (2025, 2024), each transcribed from an official KEA allotment publication and listed exam by exam below.
How the code is built
KEA codes read left to right. Decoding the parts lets you read any code in the allotment file, not just this one.
| Part | Values | What it says |
|---|---|---|
| Head | GM, 1, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, SC/S1–S4, ST | The vertical category — who competes in that column. |
| Middle | G, R, K | General, Rural or Kannada-medium — the horizontal reservation inside the category. Rural and Kannada-medium need their own 10-year study certificates. |
| Tail | H (and KH / RH) | Present only in the 371(J) Kalyana-Karnataka publication: GMH is General Merit in the HK pool, GMKH its Kannada-medium variant, GMRH its rural variant. A code without H comes from the Rest-of-Karnataka file. |
The full KEA suffix table covers every code, including the ones with no published closing ranks.
What SCG actually closed at
The two ends of the published range. Every figure is transcribed from the official allotment publication — a rank between these is not a promise of a seat, it is what this category drew last time.
