Closing rank is the KCET rank of the last candidate who got a seat in that category in that KEA round. Your rank has to be the same as or smaller than the closing rank to have a chance. Each round lists only the seats allotted in that round, so later rounds can show fewer programmes.
HK seats are reserved for candidates from the Kalyana Karnataka region (Bidar, Kalaburagi, Yadgir, Raichur, Koppal, Ballari and Vijayanagara districts) under Article 371(J). Other candidates compete for the general seats.
KEA categories: G = general, K = Kannada medium, R = rural candidates; 1, 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B are the Karnataka backward-class categories.
