Following the announcement of the KCET 2025 results, what specific types of discrepancies or issues can candidates raise objections against with KEA?
Yes, KEA provides a window of approximately three days after the declaration of the KCET results for candidates to raise objections. The types of issues that students can typically challenge include:
- Discrepancies in Qualifying Exam Marks: If there is a perceived error or change in the qualifying examination (e.g., Class 12) marks that are reflected in the KCET result calculation.
- Missing Rank in the KCET Result Scorecard: If a candidate's KCET result scorecard is missing their rank.
- Incorrectly Marked Version Code of the KCET Question Paper: If a candidate believes that the version code of the KCET question paper they attempted was marked incorrectly in their evaluation.
How does KEA conduct seat allotment in KCET counselling?
KEA conducts KCET counselling online. After registering, candidates fill and lock their preferred college and course choices. Seat allotment is based on these choices, KCET rank, category, and seat availability. A mock allotment allows preference changes before the final allotment. After allotment, candidates typically have options to freeze, float, or slide their allotted seat.
What procedure does the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) follow if multiple candidates achieve identical scores in the Karnataka UGCET results?
- In case of a tie in KCET 2025 total marks, KEA uses the following sequential tie-breaking method:
- Higher marks in Biology/Mathematics (depending on the course).
- If still tied, higher marks in Chemistry/Physics.
- If still tied, marks in specific subjects of the qualifying exam (e.g., Class 12).
- As a last resort, the older candidate gets a higher rank.
Where can I find the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) results for 2025 once they are declared?
You will be able to check your Karnataka CET results for 2025 on the following official websites:
- karnataka.gov.in
- nic.in
- kar.nic.in
Is the rank I obtain in the KCET 2025 examination valid for seeking admission in the academic year 2026?
No, CET rank obtained in the 2025 examination is valid solely for admissions during the 2025 academic year. If you wish to seek admission through KCET for the academic year 2026, you will be required to appear for the KCET examination again in that year, and the rank obtained in the subsequent examination will be considered for admissions in 2026.
Does the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) issue distinct rank lists for different academic streams in the KCET results?
Yes, the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) does release separate rank lists for various academic streams based on the subjects you appeared for in the KCET. This means you can expect to see individual ranks for Engineering, Agriculture, Pharmacy, Veterinary Sciences, and other relevant streams, depending on your subject choices during the examination.
I completed my Class 12 from the CBSE or ICSE board. Will my board examination marks be taken into account when calculating my KCET rank?
Yes, absolutely. If you have completed your Class 12 from the CBSE, ICSE, or any other recognized board, your marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) or Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) will indeed be considered for the calculation of your KCET rank. The same 50% weightage given to the CET exam marks and 50% weightage to the Class 12 PCM/PCB marks, as applied to Karnataka state board students, is also applicable to students from other recognized boards.
What is the methodology used to calculate KCET 2025 rank for students from the Karnataka state board?
For students who have completed their Class 12 (or equivalent) from the Karnataka state board, the KCET rank is determined by considering the marks obtained in two examinations with equal weightage. Specifically, the KCET rank is calculated by taking 50% of the marks secured in the CET (Common Entrance Test) exam and 50% of the marks obtained in the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) or Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) subjects in their Class 12 board examinations.
What is the list of some of the prominent colleges that usually participate in KCET counselling process for admissions?
