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
