Karnataka PGCET 2026 Eligibility

Karnataka PGCET eligibility criteria

Applicants must hold the relevant recognised qualifying degree and satisfy KEA's programme, marks, Karnataka/category and document conditions. GATE-qualified candidates must also follow the route and priority rules stated in the current brochure.

Eligibility should be checked in layers: eligibility to submit the form, eligibility to sit the paper, programme eligibility, category or quota eligibility, and counselling eligibility. Appearing in an examination or receiving a rank does not cure a missing subject, minimum mark, valid certificate or residence condition.

Compare the spelling of the name, initials, parents' names and date of birth across the Class 10 certificate, identity proof and qualifying records. Genuine differences should be corrected lawfully or disclosed through the official process. Never edit an official certificate. Reserved-category, income, residence, disability and special-category documents must use the format and validity period required for the 2026 cycle.
