Global Academy of Technology (GAT) Bangalore's KCET 2025 Round 1 cutoff closed at 23,322 for B.E. Computer Science & Engineering (general merit, home state quota), making it the tightest among 10 branches, while Civil Engineering stretched to 120,177—ideal benchmarks for 2026 aspirants as VTU's 5% seat expansion hints at 2,000-3,000 rank easing per category.
