The Karnataka Post Graduate Common Entrance Test (Karnataka PGCET) is a state-level entrance exam conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) for admission into postgraduate programs, including MBA, MCA, ME, M.Tech, and M.Arch courses in various institutions across Karnataka. This exam is crucial for candidates aspiring to pursue higher education in engineering, technology, management, and computer applications.
The Karnataka PGCET is typically held once a year, usually in the months of July or August. The exam is open to both Karnataka and non-Karnataka candidates, although a significant portion of the seats is reserved for local candidates. The exam is conducted in an offline mode (pen-and-paper based), and the questions are multiple-choice in nature.
The PGCET exam is divided into subject-specific papers based on the course the candidate is applying for. For MBA, the paper includes questions on topics like proficiency in English, general knowledge, reasoning, and quantitative analysis. For MCA, the focus is on mathematics, computer awareness, and reasoning. For M.Tech/ME/M.Arch, the paper is based on the specialization chosen, such as civil, mechanical, computer science, electrical, or electronics engineering. The exam duration is typically 150 minutes, and the total marks vary according to the program.
Candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria to apply for Karnataka PGCET. For example, they must hold a relevant bachelor’s degree from a recognized university, with a minimum aggregate score of 50% (45% for reserved categories).
After the results are announced, counseling is conducted by KEA to allocate seats based on the candidates' ranks, preferences, and seat availability. GATE-qualified candidates are exempt from the exam and are given preference in admissions for M.Tech and related courses.
Karnataka PGCET provides a gateway to postgraduate studies in top institutions, offering a wide range of courses and specializations across the state.
