2.0Step-by-step: Filling the KCET Application form 2026
- Create account / register
Visit the official KEA candidate portal (Common Online Application) and click “New Registration” or “UG-CET 2026 Candidate Portal”. Use a working email and mobile number; you will receive your application number and password by SMS/email. - Login and complete personal details
After login enter personal details exactly as they appear on your 10th/12th certificates (name, DOB, parent’s name, Aadhaar where requested). Avoid spelling differences — these cause verification problems later. - Enter academic details
Fill in 10th and 12th (PUC) board, year of passing, roll numbers and marks. If you are awaiting 12th results, there’s usually an option for “appearing” — follow the instructions in the information bulletin. Double-check registration and roll numbers; incorrect entries can block rank generation. - Choose courses / options
Select the courses/streams you wish to be considered for (Engineering, Pharmacy, Agriculture, etc.). Each course requires particular subject combinations — ensure you meet the eligibility before selecting. - Upload scanned documents
Typical uploads: passport-size photograph, candidate signature, left thumb impression, parent/guardian signature and any category/domicile certificates. Follow the file format and size limits shown on the portal (KEA’s PDF lists exact specifications). - Pay the application fee
Pay online (card/netbanking/UPI) or as permitted by KEA. Fee slabs differ for Karnataka candidates vs. those who studied outside Karnataka — check the fee table on the portal. Keep the transaction proof. - Preview and submit
Use the preview option to verify every field. After submission you usually cannot change critical fields except through a limited correction window announced by KEA. Print or save the confirmation page and fee receipt.
