The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) is likely to declare the KCET 2026 result either by the end of May or in the first week of June, according to official sources.

KEA released the provisional answer key for the KCET 2026 exam on April 27. The authority also opened an objection window for students who wanted to challenge the provisional answer key. The objection window stayed open until April 30. The final answer key will be released soon, followed by the result.

Along with the KCET 2026 result, KEA will also release the merit list and cut-off marks for 2026. This year, around 3,30,479 students registered for the exam. Of these, nearly 3.1 to 3.2 lakh students appeared for the test. The exam was held across 745 centres throughout the state.

Candidates who clear the exam will have to apply for the KCET 2026 counselling process. The counselling will be conducted online. First, students need to get their documents verified. After that, they'll have to register and select their preferred colleges. A mock allotment will follow, and then the final seat allotment will take place. Once a candidate is allotted a college, they must pay the admission fees to secure their seat.

Students can get admission in more than 200 colleges across Karnataka through KCET 2026 scores. These include government, aided, and private institutions. The exam opens the door to undergraduate courses in engineering, agriculture, and pharmacy across the state.
