19.BMS Institute of Technology (BMSIT) – Engineering Cutoff Overview (KCET & COMEDK)
Introduction
BMS Institute of Technology (BMSIT), Bengaluru, admits students to its B.Tech programs based on competitive entrance exams like BMSIT cutoff (Karnataka CET) and COMEDK UGET. Cutoffs are the closing ranks (or marks) at which seats in different branches are filled during counseling rounds. These cutoffs help aspirants estimate the rank they need to secure admission in specific engineering streams.
KCET Cutoff Ranks (2025 – Karnataka CET)
For KCET 2025, branch‑wise closing ranks (approximate) for general category (GM) students were as follows in Round 1:
| B.Tech Branch | KCET Closing Rank (Round 1) |
| Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) | ~8,730 |
| Computer Science & Business Systems | ~11,540 |
| Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) | ~11,698 |
| Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE) | ~20,237 |
| Mechanical Engineering | ~37,817 |
| Civil Engineering | ~75,173 |
These ranks reflect the approximate last allotted KCET ranks in the first round of counseling for each branch.
Expected KCET Cutoffs for 2025 (General Category)
Another expected trend for KCET 2025 cutoffs shows similar figures:
| Branch | Expected KCET Rank Range (General) |
| CSE | ~8,700 – 8,900 |
| Artificial Intelligence | ~11,050 – 11,250 |
| CS Business Systems | ~11,500 – 11,700 |
| ECE | ~11,600 – 11,800 |
| EEE | ~20,200 – 20,500 |
| Mechanical | ~37,800 – 38,200 |
| Civil | ~75,100 – 75,800 |
This gives aspirants a fair idea of where the CSE cutoff generally falls compared to other streams.
COMEDK UGET Cutoff Insight (2025)
For COMEDK UGET, cutoffs are measured by rank rather than KCET rank. Expected cutoffs for BMSIT (Round 1) suggest that competitive ranks are needed as well:
| Branch | COMEDK Closing Rank (Round 1) |
| Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) | ~4,647 |
| Computer Science & Business Systems | ~5,040 |
| Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning | ~5,697 |
| Electronics & Communication Engineering | ~7,000+ |
These COMEDK ranks give an idea of the relative competitiveness of CSE in the general entrance exam for private colleges.
Key Factors Affecting Cutoffs
Cutoffs vary each year depending on:
- Number of applicants and seat availability
- Difficulty level of the entrance exams (KCET/COMEDK)
- Performance of candidates in that exam
- Rounds of counseling and seat choices
These influence the final closing ranks each year.
Conclusion
For students aiming at BMSIT cutoff (a highly sought branch), securing a KCET rank within the top ~8,000–9,000 range (general category) increases the chances of getting an allotment in Round 1. Similarly, a COMEDK rank within ~4,000–5,000+ also improves admission prospects into CSE. Cutoffs fluctuate annually based on demand, exam patterns, and number of applicants, so aspirants should use these figures as a guideline while preparing and choosing preferences during counseling.
