Questions related to KCET

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to KCET ?

Hello

If you drop BSc Agriculture in the first semester, you can still appear for the KCET exam again. KCET eligibility depends mainly on your 12th (PUC) marks and qualifications, not on your current college course. You must meet the eligibility criteria set by KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) to apply for KCET. Dropping a course doesn’t stop you from reappearing in KCET for admission in the next year. Just make sure you prepare well and complete the KCET application on time.

HELLO,

To change your college after the third round of KCET counselling , you generally cannot make new choices or apply for a different seat through the official KCET counselling process once the main rounds are completed. Your options for changing are limited to cancelling your already allotted seat by contacting the official KEA authority and initiating the cancellation but you can try with this option to directly contact them, may you have to pay the fine if applicable

Hope this Helps!

Hey! For KCET 2025, the top scorer in the Engineering stream is Bhavesh Jayanthi, who secured Rank 1. Every year, KEA officially releases the topper list stream-wise (Engineering, Agriculture, Pharmacy, etc.), and this year Bhavesh has topped the exam in Engineering. If you are comparing your performance, it’s always good to check the official topper list on KEA’s website for detailed ranks and scores of other streams as well.

Hey! For KCET you cannot use a Tamil Nadu caste certificate. KCET counselling accepts only caste and income certificates issued by Karnataka authorities (like Tahsildar), in the proper Karnataka formats. Even if you belong to a reserved category in Tamil Nadu, that certificate won’t be valid here.

If you want to claim reservation in KCET, you will need to get a caste/income certificate from Karnataka as per their rules. Otherwise, you will be considered under the General category.
