Karnataka Common Entrance Test

Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) is the common entrance exam conduced annually for admission to the professional courses in the state of Karnataka. KCET is conducted by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), which comes under the Ministry of Higher Education of Karnataka. It is an offline exam conducted for admission to the full-time Engineering, Technology, B-Pharma, D-Pharma, Agriculture courses (Farm Science) and Veterinary courses, in the various educational institutions in the state of Karnataka. The Government of Karnataka established a Common Entrance Test Cell in the year 1994 for conducting an entrance test and determining the eligibility/ merit, for admission to the first year or first semester of full time professional courses (for Government share of seats) in various professional courses in various professional colleges/ universities/ deemed universities. KCET is conducted throughout Karnataka in almost all the district places in the month of April – May (usually in the last week of April).[1]

About

KCET is conducted offline. The exam involves 4 subjects – Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology. The question paper has 240 multiple choice questions (MCQs) to be attempted in 240 minutes, with each subject having 60 MCQs to be attempted in 60 minutes. The total marks is, thus 240. The syllabus is based on the 1st and 2nd year Pre-University Certificate syllabus prescribed by the Department of Pre-University Education of Karnataka state. There is no negative marking. The test is conducted in two languages, i.e., English and Kannada.

The Kannada language test is conducted for:

• The students of states other than Karnataka who wish to write the test in the Kannada language and
• The Kannadiga (Kannada - speaking or native speakers of Kannada) students living both inside and outside the state of Karnataka who wish to write the test in the Kannada language.[2]
