Karnataka Common Entrance Test
If you’ve lost your KCET admit card with the invigilator’s signature, don’t worry—you can download a duplicate admit card from the official KCET website using your application number. It will still be valid for counselling. Also, inform the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) about the issue. Make sure to carry all other required documents like your PUC marksheet, photo ID, and certificates during document verification. You’ll still be eligible for counselling if you act quickly and follow the proper steps.
Yes, you are eligible for KCET counselling even if your verification slip does not show a secret code. If your Clause C is verified and your documents were accepted, then your application is valid.
The number written as "Option Entry CET Number" will be used when you choose colleges and courses during option entry. This is an important number, so keep it safe.
Sometimes, KEA does not print a separate secret code on the slip. Instead, you will be allowed to log in with your CET number and password when the option entry process starts.
Just wait for KEA to open the option entry on their website. Then, log in and fill in your college choices.
If you get a government quota seat in a private college through KCET, the tuition fee is subsidized by the Karnataka government. For most professional courses like engineering or medical, the annual tuition fee ranges from sixty-five thousand to ninety-five thousand rupees. For courses like BSc Nursing or allied health sciences, it may range from twenty thousand to forty thousand rupees per year. In addition to the tuition fee, private colleges may charge extra amounts for hostel facilities, which can be around forty thousand to eighty thousand rupees annually, and for lab, library, or development fees, which may be between five thousand to fifteen thousand rupees. University or exam-related fees may also be around three thousand to five thousand rupees.

Dear student,
With a KCET agriculture practical rank of 8800 , you fall just outside the cutoff for top government colleges like GKVK Bengaluru and Dharwad , where the ranks typically close around 5200–8500. However, you still stand a good chance in other government colleges such as Mandya , Hassan , Shahapur , and Raichur , especially if you come under a reserved category .
Reserved categories like SC, ST, and OBC usually have higher closing ranks , which increases your chances significantly. So, if you belong to any of these, you may still get into decent government colleges.
In terms of private colleges , your rank is well within the usual admission range. These colleges generally accept higher ranks and have more available seats, so your chances there are very strong .
A few other things matter too—your category, number of applicants this year, and how many rounds of counselling you go through. If you don’t get a seat in the first round, don’t give up—many students get seats in the later rounds or spot counselling .

Hello Aspirant,
With a KCET rank of 82,900, securing a Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) seat in government colleges in Bengaluru is highly unlikely. For CSE under the General category, closing ranks at UVCE, RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, etc., are typically between 3,000 and 9,000.However, you can consider government aided colleges or some private colleges.And also you can explore some other branches with this rank like mechanical,civil or engineering.
You should participate in all counselling rounds via KEA.
Consider private colleges for branch like CSE and core branches like civil,mechanical or electrical in government or government-aided colleges.
All the best for your counselling process.
