Yes, many NIRF-ranked colleges in Karnataka also accept COMEDK UGET and JEE Main scores, giving non-KCET students a pathway in. Some colleges additionally offer management quota seats for direct admission, based on eligibility criteria.

KCET is the main entrance exam for state quota seats. If you have a good JEE Main score, you can also apply for a management or NRI quota seat, or apply through COMEDK, which is another popular option in Karnataka. Each college may accept a different mix, so check individually.

For the General AI category, the maximum PES ECE cutoff 2026 acceptable for admission in the first round was 1223. So, students with a rank lower than 1223 can easily gain admission to the above-mentioned course. To know the maximum rank required by other categories, see the table below.

Cutoff marks for KCET 2026 are calculated on the basis of number of applicants, availability of seats, performance of the candidates in the test, reservation and difficulty of the question paper.

A Rank less than 10,000 is generally a good rank for getting admission into many popular engineering colleges and departments. But this depends on the institute, the course and counselling round.
