KCET 2026 Preparation Tips

Hello,

Sorry, but EWS candidates are not eligible for the Supernumerary Quota (SNQ) because the SNQ is primarily for students from economically weaker families whose parents' annual income is below INR 8 lakhs, regardless of their caste or category (including General Merit, SC, ST, and OBC).

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hi there,

Yes, your daughter is still allowed to go for the vacancy round in KCET counselling.

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) after the third round, typically holds a vacancy round, which is an extended or special round, to fill those seats that are left unallocated due to withdrawals or unreported admissions.

As her KCET rank is 34,000, she still has quite a good shot of attaining a seat, especially in private or newly established engineering colleges, or in branches that have lesser demand.

Just frequently visit the official KEA website for the latest updates about the vacancy or casual round schedule, and be all set with the documents so that she can participate at the earliest when the portal goes live.

Hope it helps!!!
Thank you.

Hello,

It's unlikely you'll get a veterinary college in Bangalore with a KCET rank of 5000, even with the ST caste and CRPF quota, as the general cutoff is often around 1200, and even special category quotas typically don't extend that far.

I hope it will clear your query!!

If you were allotted a college in the second round of KCET counseling but did not join, you are not banned from participating in subsequent rounds or future KCET counseling, provided you follow the official rules. KCET allows candidates who do not report to the allotted college to participate in later rounds, but the allotment of seats in future rounds may be affected because some colleges may have fewer vacant seats remaining. It is important to ensure that you complete all required steps in the counseling portal, such as confirming your willingness to participate in the next round, and to check the official KCET guidelines for any specific conditions regarding non-joining in earlier rounds. Failure to follow the portal instructions could affect your eligibility, but generally, not joining a college in a previous round does not result in a ban.

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.

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).
