Several regional news platforms state that KEA will declare the PGCET results once UG degree results are released by universities in Karnataka. This could lead to the declaration of PGCET 2026 results in the first week of August. However, KEA has not confirmed this update. Furthermore, candidates point out that KEA does not consider UG degree scores when allocating a rank, as the Karnataka PGCET rank depends entirely on a candidate's performance in the entrance test.
