can i use my ladt year login id to login into KEA for kcet application or should i create a new one ? cause when i tried to use my last years id and password it showed incorrect

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.
   
   

If your last year's KEA (Karnataka Examination Authority) login ID and password are showing as incorrect, it is likely that you need to create a new account for this year's KCET application. KEA typically requires fresh registrations for each year's application process, even for students who have applied in previous years.

Here's what to do:

Check for Account Reset Options, Look for an option like “Forgot Password” or “Forgot Login ID” on the login page.

Create a New Account, If you’re unable to recover your old login credentials, create a new account by registering as a fresh candidate.

Review the KEA KCET application instructions for the current year to confirm whether fresh registration is mandatory for all applicants.
