The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has officially released the KCET 2025 Admit Card today, April 6, 2025. Registered candidates can now download their hall tickets from the official KEA website at kea.kar.nic.in. To access the KCET Admit Card, candidates need to input the first four letters of their name along with their application number.
The Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2025 is scheduled to take place on April 16 and 17, 2025. This exam serves as a gateway for students seeking admission into various undergraduate courses in fields such as Engineering, Pharmacy, Agriculture, and Veterinary Science across numerous colleges in Karnataka.
For candidates planning to appear for the KCET 2025, it is crucial to follow the exam day guidelines. Each candidate must carry their KCET admit card along with a valid photo ID proof to the examination center. Without these documents, entry into the exam hall will not be permitted.
According to the KEA, the KCET 2025 will consist of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) across three papers: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or Biology, totaling 180 marks. Each paper will comprise 60 questions, with each question worth one mark. Candidates will have 80 minutes to complete each paper, amounting to a total of 240 minutes for all three papers.
Notably, there will be no negative marking for incorrect answers in the KCET 2025 exam, allowing candidates to attempt questions without the fear of losing marks for wrong responses. This format aims to encourage students to maximize their chances of scoring well.
The KCET 2025 will be conducted in a pen-and-paper format rather than a computer-based test, which means candidates will need to mark their answers on an OMR sheet. Furthermore, the exam will be conducted over two days, with four sessions in total.
For candidates who are part of the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category, the expected cutoff marks for the KCET 2025 Exam are anticipated to be between 40 to 42 percent, based on previous trends.
As the exam date approaches, candidates are advised to review their KCET 2025 Admit Cards carefully. Any discrepancies, such as spelling errors or incorrect personal information, should be reported to the KEA immediately. Candidates can contact the KEA via phone at 080 - 23460460 or through email at [email protected] for any concerns regarding their admit cards.
In preparation for the exam, candidates should also familiarize themselves with the list of prohibited items at the exam center. Items such as mobile phones, calculators, textbooks, notes, digital watches, and any electronic devices are strictly forbidden. Candidates are encouraged to arrive at the exam center at least 40 minutes before the scheduled start time to ensure a smooth entry process.
Moreover, candidates should be aware that the KEA does not accommodate requests for changes to exam centers after the release of the admit card. Therefore, it is essential for candidates to check their assigned centers once they download their hall tickets.
For those who are curious about the scoring system, a score of 100 is generally considered a good performance in the KCET based on historical data. The results will play a crucial role in determining admissions into some of the top engineering colleges in India, including R.V. College of Engineering (RVCE), BMS College of Engineering, and PES University, among others.
In summary, the KCET 2025 is a significant stepping stone for many aspiring students in Karnataka. With the admit cards now available, candidates should ensure they are well-prepared for the upcoming exam. The KCET not only assesses students' knowledge but also opens doors to various educational opportunities across the state.
