Hello

It's completely normal to feel uncertain after joining a college. If you feel a strong urge to try KCET again, it's okay to consider it seriously. Many students reapply to get into a better college or branch. Think about your goals and what you truly want. Prepare a clear plan if you decide to reattempt. Talk to your parents or mentors for guidance. Don't rush—make a calm, well-thought-out decision. Whatever you choose, stay committed and give your best.

Could you try to isolate the reason for your dissatisfaction That will help in making a more targeted decision.

Hi dear candidate,

Yes, you can attempt the KCET exam next year as well if you feel to score better to get better college as long as you meet the eligibility criteria of KCET.

Make sure you are comfortable to bear the consequences of dropping after one year like loss of one year studies and problems while getting fees refund (depends on your college).

ALL THE BEST

Hello Pruthvi,

Taking a drop year to reappear for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) is a well-defined process. As a repeater, you are fully eligible to take the exam again to improve your score and secure a better rank for admissions.

The main procedure involves submitting a new application for the KCET through the official Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) website when registrations open for the next academic session. You must pay the required application fee and complete all formalities just like any other candidate. A significant advantage for you is that you do not need to retake your 12th board exams. Your previously secured board marks in the qualifying subjects will be used again. Your new KCET rank will be calculated by combining these existing board marks with your new score from the KCET exam. Therefore, your entire focus during this year should be on preparing thoroughly for the KCET to achieve a higher score.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
