Hello, yes, the KCET cutoff ranks can indeed change in the extended round. The first cutoff lists are based on seats filled during the main rounds, but in the extended round, many students withdraw, upgrade to other branches, or choose colleges in different states. This creates vacant seats, allowing candidates with ranks lower than the initial cutoff to get admission. However, the extent of this change varies each year depending on demand. With your rank of 26,315 and aiming for GIT Belgaum ENC branch, it’s possible you might get a seat if enough students drop out. Professors are cautious because they’ve seen years when seats didn’t fall that much, while friends might be optimistic based on past cases.
