DCET Dates

Depending on variables like student demand, technical difficulties or application process interruptions the government may decide to extend the DCET (Diploma Common Entrance Test) application form deadline. Extensions have historically been given when many students encounter difficulties finishing their applications by the original deadline such as server problems or delayed notices.

Watch the Karnataka Examinations Authoritys (KEA) official website or reliable news sources to stay up to date. The authorities might give an extension some thought if large number of pupils petition for one. There is currently no assurance

Karnataka Examination Authority will release the DCET 2026 exam date soon at the official website. Applicants are advised to keep track of DCET official website to keep track of all important dates. The DCET exam will be conducted on offline pen & paper mode.
