Notably, students from Dakshina Kannada (DK) district have excelled in the KCET 2025, securing top ranks across various streams. This success is attributed to disciplined preparation and rigorous academic regimes implemented by coastal colleges.
Despite their achievements in KCET, many top performers are prioritising the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG) for admission into premier medical colleges. Students like Akshay M Hegde and Harishraj D V have performed exceptionally well in various CET streams but remain committed to pursuing MBBS degrees, often citing CET as a preparatory exercise for NEET.
