Questions related to KCET

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to KCET ?

Hello

  • Yes, you can write the KCET exam again even if you took it last year.

  • There is no limit on the number of attempts for KCET as long as you meet the age and eligibility criteria.

  • Clearing KCET this time with a good rank will make you eligible for engineering admission again.

  • You can participate in the counseling process after the exam to choose your preferred college.

  • Make sure to check the latest eligibility rules on the official KCET website before applying.

Hello

The KCET Round 3 seat matrix shows available BE seats in Karnataka colleges.
About 14,000+ B.Tech seats remained vacant after this round.
These seats are returned to colleges for further admission.
Students must confirm their admission before the deadline.
KEA issued notices to students who didn’t join to prevent seat blocking.
You can check the detailed seat matrix on the official KEA website.

Yes, you can drop out of your present BSc Agriculture program and write KCET again next year to attend counselling. But, you must formally surrender your seat and be aware of the financial penalties for doing so after joining the college.

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!
