KCET 2022: Document verification to start from August 8 on kea.kar.nic.in

The date for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test, KCET Counseling 2022, has been announced. According to Karnataka Higher Education Minister Dr C. N. Ashwath Narayan, KCET 2022 document verification will begin on August 8, 2022, for the qualified candidates. The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) announced that they would be postponing the KCET counseling 2022 on August 2, 2022 via an official notice issued on the website.

The Karnataka Higher Education Minister also informed that the Class 12th marks of the 2021 repeaters will not be considered, as per the report. The Minister called it “unfair” to consider the Class 12th marks of the CET repeaters this year.

The KCET rank for 2022 will be determined by a student’s marks from both the KCET 2022 and their Class 12th marks. KEA has announced that they will not be taking PUC marks into consideration for CET repeaters and the Karnataka Education minister has said that this decision is supported. In 2021, CET rankings were entirely based on a student’s CET score because the Class 12th exams had been canceled and students were assessed through alternative criteria.

Students who qualify for KCET-2022 will be able to get admission to their choice of course and college via UGCET 2022 counseling. The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) will offer admission to students through several steps, including document verification, choice filling, seat allotment results, and reporting to the allotted institutes. 

The KCET-2022 result was declared on July 30, 2022, and KEA announced that counselling would begin on August 5. However, the counselling date was later postponed.
