Admission Cut-offs and Counseling Process
G M University Davanagere admits students through the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) and Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) processes, following the JEE Main score. The cut-off ranks for various categories have shown consistent trends over recent years, reflecting the increasing competitiveness of engineering admissions.
| Year | General | EWS | OBC (NCL) | SC | ST | PwD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 15000 | 20000 | 18000 | 12000 | 10000 | 9000 |
| 2021 | 14500 | 19000 | 17000 | 11000 | 9500 | 8500 |
| 2022 | 14000 | 18000 | 16000 | 10000 | 9000 | 8000 |
| 2023 | 13500 | 17000 | 15000 | 9500 | 8500 | 7500 |
| 2024 | 13000 | 16000 | 14000 | 9000 | 8000 | 7000 |
The trend analysis reveals a gradual decline in cut-off ranks over the years, indicating increased competition among applicants. This shift is attributed to rising awareness about higher education and improved preparation strategies among students.
JoSAA/CSAB Counseling Process
The JoSAA counseling process begins with the release of the JEE Main rank list, followed by the filling of choices in a specified time frame. Students must carefully evaluate their preferences based on their ranks and the previous year's seat allocation data.
Once the choice submission period ends, the system generates a merit list, and seats are allocated through a centralized process. Candidates who do not get admitted in their first preference may be offered seats in subsequent rounds if vacancies arise.
The CSAB counseling is similar but tailored for state-level admissions, where students can apply directly to institutions within Karnataka without needing to go through the national-level JoSAA procedure.
