PES University Cutoff 2026: FAQs


Ques: What is the PES University cutoff in KCET 2026?

Ans: The expected PES University cutoff in the KCET exam for BE/B.Tech admissions range from AIR 800 to 50,000+. Specific cutoff ranks may vary significantly with each stream. For instance, the General cutoff for B.Tech CSE can reach 800 or higher. For B.Tech Mechanical, the cutoff can reach 25,000 or lower ranks. Moreover, the cutoff requirements are significantly lower for SC/ST/OBC candidates than for General candidates. 


Ques: What are the typical KCET cut-off ranks for CSE?

Ans: The closing cutoff ranks for the B.Tech CSE admissions in the KCET usually close at around 900 to 1600. Thus, the cutoff requirements for CSE at the institution are quite higher than those of other specialisations. Therefore, you must check the cutoff requirements properly while applying for admission to CSE at PES University. Make sure that you meet the cutoff rank requirements for the selected B.Tech specialisation. 


Ques: Does PES University have different cut-offs for its campuses?

Ans: Yes, the cutoff requirements at PES University vary with each campus of the institution. The Ring Road campus is older and has higher competition in admissions, which leads to higher cutoffs for this campus. In comparison, the Electronics City campus of the institution has comparably lower cutoff requirements across the available courses. You can therefore choose between the two campuses based on your specific entrance exam rank.  


Ques: Is a 1 lakh rank good in KCET?

Ans: Yes, a 1 lakh KCET rank is good if a candidate is considering branches like Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronics. However, this rank is usually not sufficient for highly competitive branches like Computer Science. Thus, your chances of getting a seat with a rank of 1,00,000 in KCET will depend on the specialisation you choose. Moreover, reserved category candidates will have higher chances of getting seats across many streams with this rank in KCET. 


Ques: Does PES accept JEE Mains?

Ans: Yes, PES University accepts JEE Mains for admission to B.Tech courses. Alternatively, the university also accepts the KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Exam) for its B.Tech admissions across all specialisations. Hence, you can choose the entrance exam that you prefer to gain admission to B.Tech courses at the university. The cutoff requirements will vary with the entrance exams and the specialisation that you choose, among other determining factors.
