Candidates can apply with either AEEE ranks or JEE Main percentiles. 70% of seats are typically reserved for AEEE candidates, while 30% are allocated via JEE Main and other national exams like SAT.

Note: Check exact dates on the official exam and college websites.

Note: These are approximate figures based on past trends, not official cutoffs. Check the latest official counselling cutoff before applying.

The 2026 cutoffs are determined by the difficulty of AEEE and the volume of applicants. Historically, the closing ranks for the Bangalore campus are highly competitive.

Note: Cutoffs vary significantly based on the 'Slab' system, where lower ranks qualify for lower tuition fees (Slab 1).
