Which college is hardest to get into for Electronics & Communication?

Of 173 colleges with verified KCET figures, R V College of Engineering in Bengaluru Urban closed tightest at General Merit rank 375. A tighter rank means more candidates wanted that seat — it is not a measure of teaching.

What KCET rank do I need for Electronics & Communication?

There is no single number. Across 173 colleges the General Merit closing rank ranged from 375 to 2,82,267 in 2024 and 2026, so the seat you can reach depends on which colleges you are willing to attend. The spread within one branch is usually wider than the gap between branches.

Where in Karnataka can I study Electronics & Communication?

Colleges with verified KCET closing ranks for Electronics & Communication are spread across 28 cities. Colleges that admit only through their own entrance test do not appear here — that is an absence of official data, not of the college.

Electronics & Communication — KCET Cut-offs

General Merit closing ranks across 173 colleges, 2024, 2026. A lower rank means more competitive.
