No, students can't get admission in NIT Surathkal BTech with KCET scores. The institute accepts admissions for BTech solely through JEE Main scores. Students have to then appear for the counselling process to get a seat.

6-8 months is a sufficient time to prepare for the KCET. However, for students who are well-versed with 10+2, they will find cracking the KCET easy.
