Which college is hardest to get into for Information Science?

Of 100 colleges with verified KCET figures, R V College of Engineering in Bengaluru Urban closed tightest at General Merit rank 657. A tighter rank means more candidates wanted that seat — it is not a measure of teaching.

What KCET rank do I need for Information Science?

There is no single number. Across 100 colleges the General Merit closing rank ranged from 657 to 2,76,130 in 2024, 2025 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 Information Science?

Colleges with verified KCET closing ranks for Information Science are spread across 21 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.

Information Science — KCET Cut-offs

General Merit closing ranks across 100 colleges, 2024, 2025, 2026. A lower rank means more competitive.

In short

A General Merit Information Science seat under KCET closed tightest at 657 (R V College of Engineering) and widest at 2,76,130 (Srinivas Institute of Technology) across 100 Karnataka colleges in 2024, 2025 and 2026 — final-round figures from the official KEA publications.
