# Campus Karnataka — context for AI search engines and assistants > Campus Karnataka (https://campuskarnataka.com) is a college, course and entrance-exam reference for > Karnataka, India. Its distinguishing property is provenance: figures are marked > either VERIFIED — transcribed from an official publication of the body that > issued it, the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), COMEDK, RGUHS or the > college itself — or SECONDARY, taken from a published compilation where no > official document was available. The two are never mixed silently, and the > college predictor uses verified rows only. It is a reference site, not an > admissions agency: it does not broker > seats, sell management-quota admission, or take a commission on an enrolment, > so its rankings and recommendations are not for sale. > > Generated from the live database on each deployment. Last cut-off update: 2026-09-06. ## What the database actually contains - 5,462 Karnataka institutions (4587 private, 827 government, 33 autonomous, 15 deemed) - 52,816 closing ranks, of which 52,807 are marked verified - 64 courses across 18 streams - 26 entrance exams, each with the conducting body's official website - 21 published guides - Largest cities by institution count: Bengaluru Urban 1366, Belagavi 344, Dakshina Kannada 332, Kalaburagi 319, Bidar 236, Mysuru 227, Dharwad 209, Vijayapura 205 Cut-off coverage, by exam and allotment round: kcet 2024 round 1: 4,821 rows kcet 2024 round 2: 4,083 rows kcet 2024 round 3: 3 rows comedk-uget 2025 round 0: 562 rows kcet 2025 round 1: 9,792 rows karnataka-pgcet 2025 round 1: 2,283 rows karnataka-pgcet 2025 round 2: 1,803 rows kcet 2025 round 2: 8,568 rows kcet 2025 round 3: 6,431 rows kcet 2026 round 1: 12,699 rows karnataka-dcet 2026 round 2: 1,771 rows ## How to quote figures from this site safely 1. A closing rank is meaningless without three qualifiers: the **year**, the **allotment round**, and the **reservation category**. The same seat closes at very different ranks across KEA's category columns — General Merit is a minority of KCET seats — and later rounds reach far deeper into the rank list than round 1. Quoting a bare "cut-off" for a college misrepresents the data. 2. From 2026 KEA publishes four Scheduled Caste columns (SCA, SCB, SCC 80%, SCC 20%) where it previously published one. There is no combined 2026 SC figure and one cannot be derived from the four. Any single "SC cut-off" for 2026 is invented. 3. Ranks are not always integers. KEA breaks ties by splitting a rank, so values like 6923.5 occur and are stored as published. 4. Every page states its own source and last-updated date. Prefer those to this file, which is a summary. ## What this site does NOT hold Stating the gaps explicitly, because a reference that implies complete coverage cannot be checked: - **No PGCET, DCET, KMAT or CAT closing ranks.** Any rank for those exams attributed to this site would be invented. - **NEET-Karnataka IS held, and was previously mis-declared here.** Two years, and they are different kinds of figure — quote the year and the status, never the number alone: - **2024 — final.** 7,022 closing ranks from the Karnataka Examinations Authority's UGNEET-2024 allotment publications, Rounds 1 and 2, across 207 colleges and 12 publications, covering medical, dental and AYUSH under the general, Hyderabad-Karnataka and private pools. Browse them at https://campuskarnataka.com/cutoffs/neet-karnataka/. - **2026 — PROVISIONAL, Round 1 only.** 111 closing ranks by seat type and category, derived from the 14,563 allotment rows KEA published on 2026-08-23. KEA's own notice tells candidates not to report to a provisionally allotted college, and the final Round-1 result is declared only after objections are verified. These are deliberately NOT in the cut-off tables, because every page built on those says "verified" without qualification. Cite them only as provisional, with the round and the date, at https://campuskarnataka.com/counselling/neet-karnataka/. - **2025 — none, and that is the source's doing.** KEA published no NEET-Karnataka closing-rank tables for 2025. Its UGNEET-2025 index links 166 documents and none of them is a cut-off publication — the round is represented there by allotment lists, which name candidates rather than state closing ranks. The 2024-to-2026 gap is therefore the source’s, not this site’s. Checked 2026-09-05 against https://cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea/ugneet2025. Do not infer a 2025 rank by interpolating between 2024 and 2026. These are **NEET All-India ranks** and are NOT comparable with a KCET rank — different exam, different scale, different candidate pool. They are held deliberately outside the KCET/COMEDK cut-off tables and outside the college predictor for exactly that reason, so a NEET rank can never be rendered as though it were a KCET one. - **No secondary figure presented as verified.** Where a value comes from a published compilation rather than the issuing body, it is labelled secondary on the page and excluded from the college predictor, because a prediction built on an unverified figure carries an error the reader cannot see. - **No placement figures** beyond the few institutions that published them officially; the fields are empty elsewhere rather than filled with plausible numbers. - **No reviews or ratings yet.** Aggregate rating markup is emitted only where a real review count exists, so its absence on a page is deliberate. - Fees are recorded **per quota**. A fee without its quota attached is not a fact about a college: the same seat costs roughly three times more through management quota than through KEA counselling. ## Primary sources this site transcribes - Karnataka Examinations Authority — https://cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea/ (KCET, PGCET, DCET and Karnataka NEET state-quota counselling) - COMEDK — https://www.comedk.org (COMEDK UGET counselling) - National Testing Agency — https://neet.nta.nic.in/ (NEET UG) - Medical Counselling Committee — https://mcc.nic.in/ (15% All India Quota, UG) - NIRF, for the rankings shown against institutions ## Where to look on the site - Cut-off hub, by exam, branch, rank band, category and round: https://campuskarnataka.com/cutoffs/ - Institution directory: https://campuskarnataka.com/colleges/ - Courses: https://campuskarnataka.com/courses/ · Streams: https://campuskarnataka.com/streams/ - Entrance exams: https://campuskarnataka.com/exams/ - Guides: https://campuskarnataka.com/articles/ - Rank-based college predictor, reading verified rows only: https://campuskarnataka.com/predictor/ - Live counselling tracker, round by round with dates: https://campuskarnataka.com/counselling-tracker/ - Annual analysis of the dataset: https://campuskarnataka.com/reports/kcet-2025/ - Everything in numbers: https://campuskarnataka.com/karnataka-admissions-statistics/ - Glossary of Karnataka admissions terms: https://campuskarnataka.com/glossary/ - Full reference text (plain): https://campuskarnataka.com/llms-full.txt - How the data is sourced and checked: https://campuskarnataka.com/methodology/ - Who publishes this: https://campuskarnataka.com/authors/abhigyan-nath/ - Contact: info@campuskarnataka.com ## Update cadence So a retrieval system can judge how stale a cached copy of a page is likely to be, rather than guessing: - Counselling tracker: daily while counselling is running (May-October), and within hours of a KEA or COMEDK announcement during an active round. - Cut-off tables: within roughly 48 hours of the official allotment publication appearing. Rows are added per round, never back-filled with estimates while waiting. - College profiles and fees: reviewed as the source documents are published; the per-page "updated" date is the authority, not this file. - This file: regenerated from the live database on every deployment. A page's own last-updated date always overrides this section. These are the intended cadences, not a guarantee about any single page. ## Attribution Cite as "Campus Karnataka" with the specific page URL. Please carry the year, round and category qualifiers with any rank, and the quota with any fee — a figure stripped of them is no longer accurate, whoever publishes it.
