How to Score Good Marks in KCET 2026? - Tips and Tricks

Hello aspirant,

The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) releases broad cutoffs every year, although the KCET engineering cutoff varies greatly depending on the particular engineering branch, college, and candidate category.  For instance, OBC cutoffs may be approximately 3,000, SC/ST categories may reach 15,000 or higher in elite universities, and general cutoffs for top Computer Science programs may be less than 1,000.

Thank you

If you joined an engineering college through KCET 2025 and completed around 3 months but now want to leave due to personal reasons, then you can definitely discontinue. However, you need to follow a proper procedure because the seat was allotted by KEA. First, you have to visit your present college and apply for official discontinuation. The college will ask you to submit a written application, no-dues form, and sometimes they may also ask for payment of fee balance as per their policies. After this, the college will issue a Transfer Certificate (TC), study certificate (if applicable), and a fee receipt acknowledgment.

Once you discontinue, your current KCET-allotted seat will get cancelled. If you want to join another engineering college next year, you must appear for KCET again or take admission through the management quota, because the old KCET seat cannot be transferred. There is no penalty from KEA side for writing KCET again next year, so you can attempt the entrance exam once more and participate in counselling to get a new seat in your preferred college.

So, the correct process is:

1. Submit a discontinuation request to your current college.

2. Clear no-dues and collect TC and supporting documents.

3. Appear for KCET next year if you want another government/KEA seat.

4. Attend counselling again and choose a new college.

Taking this step early will avoid creating academic loss later and you will be able to join a better college comfortably next year. All the best.

Hello,
If you want to apply for VITEEE at Vellore, you need to appear for the VITEEE entrance exam. The exam can be taken at designated exam centers, and it is not necessary to write it only at the Vellore campus. You can choose an exam center that is convenient for you while filling the application form. Admission will be based on your performance in this entrance exam.
Hope this helps you.

Hi Vinay

KCET Exam (Karnataka Common Entrance Exam) is a state-level examination which helps 12th-class students get admission in undergraduate courses like technology, engineering and pharmacy and agriculture courses in Karnataka colleges.

If you want to prepare for the KCET exam-

1. Read the KCET exam syllabus
2. Understand the exam pattern
3. Complete the syllabus with the help of the NCERT book
4. Fill the form and make a strategy for revision
5. Try to do a lot of mock tests & manage time so that you have time to do revision.

If you didn't have much time to prepare the whole syllabus. Try to complete important topics which have high weightage in the exam.
