The Karnataka Common Entrance Test or KCET is a gateway for candidates to seek admission to seats in professional undergraduate engineering and technical courses every year. The selection of candidates to professional educational institutions is governed by the Karnataka Selection of Candidates for Admission to Government Seats in Professional Educational Institutions Rules, 2006.
As per the rules, admissions will take place based on CET rankings which is determined by considering 50% of the marks obtained by the candidate in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in the qualifying examination (QE) or Class 12/ Pre-university (PU) examination, and 50% of the marks obtained in the CET examination.
The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) is the nodal agency responsible for conducting examinations for admissions to professional courses. The candidates can then seek admission after verifying their documents such as study certificate, caste certificate, Class 10 marks card, Class 12 marks card, and other documents. Post which, the candidates will receive counselling for selecting their respective colleges.
