Cutoff trends
The cutoff available for GNDEC comes from the Karnataka PGCET counselling. In 2025, round 3, the closing rank for the MBA programme in the general category under the ROK quota was 271181.
A closing rank is the last rank at which a seat was allotted in that round, so a lower number means stiffer competition. One round of one year does not show a trend, so look at several years and rounds before shortlisting. Cutoffs also vary by category, quota and gender pool, so compare only like with like.
For other programmes, such as B.Tech, check the counselling authority's official website for the latest published cutoffs.
