Past KCET Result Trends

KEA maintains a highly prompt notification cycle. Data from previous years indicates that results are declared within days of finishing verification checks:

The final warning window for special category reservation verification (including Kannada medium, rural area, and linguistic minorities) closed on May 21. Officials have reiterated that the compilation of the rank list relies heavily on a 50:50 weightage balance between the KCET entrance exam marks and the 2nd PUC board examination scores.  Ranks will be withheld for candidates who failed to upload or verify their requisite academic marks on time.

Once the state education minister clears the final approval, KEA traditionally holds a morning press conference around 11:30 AM to announce the overall statistics and toppers, making the online scorecard download link live for students by 2:00 PM.
