The Siddaganga Institute of Technology (SIT) Tumkur cutoff for B.Tech CSE under KCET general merit closed at 6,944 in 2022-23, making it one of the most competitive branches with over 240 seats. If you're targeting 2025 admissions, aim for ranks under 10,000 in KCET for core engineering streams, as trends show a slight rise in demand for AI-ML specializations. This guide breaks down official closing ranks from the latest mandatory disclosure, eligibility rules, and counseling steps to help you navigate the process—whether you're prepping for KCET Round 3 or COMEDK extensions.
SIT's cutoffs reflect seat availability across 45% KCET, 30% COMEDK, and 25% management quotas, with total B.Tech intake exceeding 1,200 seats. Official data from VTU-affiliated disclosures shows CSE and ECE drawing the lowest ranks due to high applicant volume, while Civil and Mechanical see higher closing figures.
