KCET 2024 Preparation Tips

Yes, registering for KCET along with NEET is required for securing a medical seat in Karnataka under the state quota. While NEET is the only entrance exam for MBBS admissions, KCET registration is necessary for participating in the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) counseling process. KEA manages the allotment of government and private medical college seats under the state quota, and only candidates registered through KCET can apply for these seats. However, if you only aim for AIQ (All India Quota) seats, KCET registration is not needed. Ensure you complete all KEA formalities to be eligible for Karnataka medical colleges

Hello there,

Yes, for veterinary courses through KCET, it is not compulsory to select the agriculture quota. However, candidates applying under the farmers' quota (Agricultural Practical Test) get reservation benefits for seats in veterinary colleges.

If you do not have an agricultural background, you can still apply for BVSc seats under the general merit or your respective category quota.

You might face issues due to the name mismatch between your Aadhaar card and 10th marks card, as the authorities will check your Aadhaar card before the exam.

To resolve this, obtain an affidavit from a notary public stating that both names refer to you, and carry it along with your Aadhaar card, 10th marks card, and other supporting documents to the exam center.

It's also a good idea to contact the KCET authorities and explain the situation, as they may provide guidance or accept your application with the affidavit.
