Hello,

Yes, you can get admission to an architecture college through the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) if you're eligible. However, for architecture courses (B.Arch.), KCET usually requires a valid NATA (National Aptitude Test in Architecture) score as well. The KCET counseling process for B.Arch. admissions considers your NATA score along with your academic performance. Be sure to check specific college requirements and confirm with KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) for updates.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you

You need to obtain certificate from the concerned Tahsildar and your caste certificate must be in the form of given performa given below

ST: Form 'D'

Category-I: Form 'E'

OBC: Form 'F' for 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B

Other than this no caste certificate will be entertained by the KCET authority at the time of counselling process.Other documents you may need to apply for KCET 2025 include: SSLC or 10th standard mark sheet, 2nd PUC or 12th standard mark sheet, Income certificate, Rural study certificate, and Recent passport size photograph.

The Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) scores are valid only for the year in which they are obtained. This means that your KCET 2025 score will not be valid for admissions in 2026.

To be eligible for admissions in 2026, you will need to take the KCET exam again in that year. The scores from the 2026 exam will be used to determine your eligibility for admission to various engineering and medical colleges in Karnataka.

Therefore, if you wish to pursue higher education in Karnataka in 2026, you must appear for the KCET exam that year.

We all know that KCET exam carries a weightage of 50% in determining your final rank so if you score more than 90 percent in your boards you will get good rank The higher your marks, the better your rank will be. The marks you secured in your Class 12 board exams also play a role, with a weightage of 50%.

But one thing more if you manage to score between 140-160 in KCET exam along with 90 percent board marks you will get rank under 1k which is considered very good.

So, performing well in both KCET and your boards is essential.
