The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) will revise KCET 2026 merit ranks for students whose Class 12 marks changed after revaluation. Candidates must submit updated marksheets to the KEA office in Bengaluru by July 6, 2026 .
KCET Rank Revisions Announced
This change affects students from CBSE, CISCE, and various State Boards. The KEA is updating ranks because the marks from the revaluation process can alter a student's overall merit score.
How KCET Ranks Are Calculated
KCET ranks are determined by a 50:50 weightage formula. Half of the score comes from the KCET exam itself. The other half is based on Class 12 marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
An increase in Class 12 marks directly impacts this calculation. This can lead to an improved KCET rank for eligible candidates.
Action Required: Submit Updated Marksheets
Students who have received revised Class 12 marks must submit a copy of their updated marksheet. This submission must be done in person at the KEA Office in Bengaluru.
The submission window is limited to July 4 to July 6, 2026 . Students should ensure their documents are submitted within this period.
Key Dates for KCET 2026 Candidates
