Hello there,

Your son may be eligible for KCET 2025 if he meets the eligibility criteria set by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA). Here are the main eligibility factors to consider:

Eligibility Criteria for KCET:

1. Resident of Karnataka :

   • He should have studied for at least 7 years in Karnataka (LKG to 10th grade). This makes him eligible under the "Karnataka Resident" category.
     
     
   • Since he has completed 10th in Karnataka , he should meet this requirement, even though he is currently in Tamil Nadu.
     
     

2. Nationality : He must be an Indian citizen.
   
   

3. Education :

   • For KCET , he should have passed 12th grade (or equivalent) with the necessary subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) for engineering or Biology for medical courses.
     
     
   • He will need to meet the minimum marks requirement (typically 45% for General category and 40% for SC/ST/OBC).
     
     

4. Eligibility for Candidates from Outside Karnataka : If your son is temporarily residing in Tamil Nadu, he can still apply for KCET as long as he fulfills the 7 years of Karnataka education condition, as he did his LKG to 10th in Karnataka.
   
   Conclusion:

As long as he fulfills the 7-year education condition in Karnataka (LKG to 10th) and meets the other eligibility conditions, he should be eligible to appear for KCET 2025 .

It’s recommended to verify the eligibility criteria by checking the official KCET 2025 notification from KEA, as specific conditions might be updated.

If your caste and income certificate for KCET application is still under process and you have been provided an RD number, you can use the RD number as a temporary reference while filling out the application. The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) often allows candidates to provide the RD number in such situations, as it shows that the certificate process has been initiated. However, ensure that the certificate is issued and available before the document verification process, as it is mandatory to submit the actual certificate at that stage. Keep track of the issuance process to avoid any delays. If you're unsure, contact the KEA helpline or officials for clarification and ensure compliance with their guidelines.

Hello,

Yes, you can write the KCET exam, as long as you fulfill the KCET eligibility criteria . Here are the key points to consider:

1. Residence Requirement : You need to be a resident of Karnataka or satisfy the domicile criteria.
2. Eligibility : Students who have studied 10+2 or equivalent in Karnataka or have Karnataka-origin parents may be eligible.
3. Educational Background : Studying 10th in Karnataka and 12th in Andhra Pradesh should not disqualify you, but your eligibility depends on the domicile rules.

Check official KCET guidelines for complete details.

Hope it helps !

Hello there,

For KCET 2025 , you generally need to create a new login ID even if you appeared for KCET in a previous year. The login credentials from the previous year may not work because the portal is reset annually for a fresh application process.

Here’s what you should do:

1. Check Official Instructions : Visit the official KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) website and verify if they allow reusing old login credentials (though it's unlikely).
   
   

2. Create a New Login ID : If your old ID doesn’t work, click on "New User Registration" on the KCET application portal and follow the steps to create a fresh login ID.
   
   

3. Use Correct Details : Ensure the mobile number, email ID, and other details you use for registration are correct, as future communications will rely on these.
   
   

4. Reset Password (if applicable) : If you believe you should be able to use the previous year's ID, try the "Forgot Password" option. You might recover the account if it’s still linked to the current cycle.

   Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

   
   

Hello,

Yes, you might be eligible to apply under the rural quota for KCET if you meet the following criteria:

Education in Rural Areas: You must have studied in a school located in a rural area for at least 3 consecutive years between 8th and 10th grades. Since you studied 8th to 10th in a rural area, you fulfill this requirement.

Other Requirements: You may need to provide a Rural Study Certificate issued by the head of your school and countersigned by the Block Education Officer (BEO).

Yes, you can write KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test) again even if you have already taken admission in an engineering college through KCET. However, there are a few key points to consider:

1. Eligibility to Reattempt KCET :

   • KCET allows candidates to reattempt the exam as long as they meet the eligibility criteria, which includes:
     • Passing 12th grade with the required percentage in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
     • Meeting the domicile requirements for Karnataka.

2. Admission Implications :

   • If you score better in the new attempt, you can participate in the counseling process again and secure admission to a different college or course.
   • Once you accept a new seat, you may need to formally withdraw from your current college to avoid issues with multiple admissions.

3. Fee and Documentation :

   • Be prepared to pay the KCET application fee again for the reattempt.
   • Ensure all documents required for KCET counseling, including your previous admission cancellation letter (if applicable), are ready.

4. Rules and Policies :

   • Check the official KCET brochure for the year you're reattempting to confirm any changes in rules or policies.

Would you like assistance with preparation tips or information about the KCET application process?

Hello there,

Yes, if a candidate wishes to appear for both B.Arch and B.Tech admissions through KCET in Karnataka, they will receive two separate KCET ranks .

• For B.Arch admission : The rank will be based on a combination of 50% NATA score and 50% 10+2 PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) marks.
  
  

• For B.Tech admission : The rank will be determined based solely on the KCET entrance exam performance, with no consideration of NATA scores.

So, while both exams are conducted through KCET, the ranking system for B.Arch and B.Tech is distinct, and you will get a separate rank for each course.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

If you have successfully registered and paid the fee for KCET but cannot print the application form, check if the payment is updated on the portal. Log in to your account and ensure the application status shows "Payment Successful." If it's updated but still not printable, try using a different browser or clear the cache. Ensure you have a stable internet connection. If the issue persists, contact the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) helpline or email them with your registration details for assistance. Keep the payment receipt as proof until resolved.

Yes, you can opt for PCMB (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology) in your 12th to widen your options for KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test) and increase your chances of getting into diverse fields. With PCMB, you are eligible for courses in both engineering (through Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) and medical or life sciences (through Biology). This allows you to appear for multiple entrance exams, like KCET for both engineering and medical courses, as well as other options like biotechnology, pharmacy, or BDS. However, managing the extra subjects requires careful time management and focus, so ensure you're comfortable with the additional workload.
