You need a B.E. or B.Tech in a related branch with 50% marks, or 45% if you are a Karnataka SC, ST or Category 1 student. You also need a valid GATE score or a Karnataka PGCET rank. A GATE score gets first preference, so you need not write PGCET if you have one. If your marks are below the line, KEA will not give you a seat.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Degree | B.E. or B.Tech in a related branch |
| Marks | 50%, or 45% for Karnataka SC, ST and Category 1 |

|---|---|
| 1. Register with KEA | Apply on the PGCET portal, even if you have a GATE score |
| 2. Write PGCET | Skip it only if you have a valid GATE score |
| 3. Enter options | List RIT CSE in the KEA option entry |
| 4. Pay the fee | Pay at the bank and download the confirmation slip |
| 5. Report at RIT | Bring the slip and all original documents |
