BMSIT Cutoff

The 2026 Strategic Roadmap: Counseling and Rank Allotment

Introduction

Key Points

The Importance of Mock Allotment

• Before the final lists are out, the counseling body releases a mock allotment based on current student preferences and previous entry rank trends.


• Use this as a diagnostic tool to see if your current choices are realistic or if you need to add more "safety" options to your list.

Floating, Freezing, and Sliding Decisions

• Once a seat is allotted, you must decide whether to "Freeze" your choice, "Float" for a better branch, or "Slide" within the same college.


• Knowing when to hold your position and when to take a calculated risk is the key to maximizing the value of the BMSIT Cutoff for your rank.

Last-Minute Rank Shifts in Round 3

• The final round of counseling often sees the most movement as students who secured seats in national-level institutes vacate their local college slots.


• For many students, this is when they finally meet the entry requirements for a better branch, making it crucial to stay in the process.

Document Verification Logistics

• Admission is only confirmed once your documents are verified and the initial tuition fee is paid through the official KEA or COMEDK portal.


• Any delay in this process can lead to the immediate forfeiture of your seat, which is then moved to the next candidate in the merit list.

Spot Admissions and Mop-Up Rounds

• In rare cases where seats remain vacant, a "Mop-Up" round is conducted, often with significantly relaxed entry requirements compared to earlier phases.


• Keeping an eye on these late-season notifications can provide an alternative pathway for students who initially missed the required BMSIT Cutoff closing ranks.
