KCET is strictly for students of Karnataka domicile.  The candidate must have studied and passed from any recognized institute of Karnataka. Candidates appearing for qualifying examination, must be from Karnataka state only.

Hello Aspirant,

As per eligiblity criteria stated by KEA, you can apply for KCET if you have a domicile of Karnataka and for that you must have studied atleast 7 years in Karnataka or your parents must be from Karnataka and since you are from a different state you should not apply for KCET.

I hope this helps.
