Common questions about VVCE cut-offs
- What KCET rank do I need for Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering?
- In 2026, General Merit seats at Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering closed between 1,227 (Electrical) and 77,613 (Civil). A rank inside that band reached at least one branch in the published rounds. These are the ranks at which seats actually closed, not a prediction for the next year.
- Does Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering fill up in Round 1?
- 50% of the General Merit seats Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering published closed in Round 1. Most seats are gone after the first round, so a borderline candidate should treat Round 1 option entry as the real decision point.
- Are cut-offs at Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering rising or falling?
- Between 2025 and 2026, the largest movement at Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering was in Civil: from 80,484 to 4,983, tightening by 75,501 ranks. 5 branches are comparable across both years; the per-branch movement is in the table on this page.
What these numbers mean for VVCE
Across the General Merit seats Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering published in 2026, the tightest closed at 1,227 in Electrical and the loosest at 77,613 in Civil — a spread of 76,386 ranks between the hardest and easiest seat in the same college. Between 2025 and 2026, Civil moved most: from 80,484 to 4,983, tightening by 75,501 ranks. All 5 comparable branches tightened, so a rank that reached Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering in 2025 may not have been enough in 2026. 50% of its published General Merit seats closed in Round 1, which is where a borderline candidate's chance at Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering is actually decided. A rank between 1,227 and 77,613 reached at least one seat here in the published rounds; beyond 77,613, no General Merit seat at Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering closed at that rank in the data on this page.
