Closing ranks by category

General Merit is a minority of seats. These pages carry the verified closing ranks for each reservation category, branch by branch.

Closing ranks by city

Most students pick a city before a branch — it decides where they live for four years.

ARCHITECTURE

4 colleges with verified closing ranks

13 branches here are not ranked on an entrance test: B. Occupational Therapy, B.Sc Anaest, Oper.Theater, B.Sc Cardiac Care Tech., B.Sc Emerg. Trauma Tech., B.Sc Imaging Tech., B.Sc Medical Lab. Tech., B.Sc Neuro Science Tech., B.Sc Optometry, B.Sc Perfusion Tech., B.Sc Radiotherapy, B.Sc Renal dialysis Tech., B.Sc Resp. Care Tech. and Bachelor of Physiotherapy. KEA sets no entrance exam for physiotherapy or the allied-health courses and selects on PU marks, so those figures are closing merit positions on KEA’s own list, not closing ranks.

Should you wait for round 2?

Both KCET rounds are transcribed here, so the question can be answered with figures instead of anecdote — including how often waiting gained nothing because the seat was already gone.

How KCET counselling works

Knowing the closing ranks only helps if the preference list is built properly — the stages, the deadlines and the decision that can cost you a seat you were already holding.
