Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) will close the KCET 2026 registration window today, February 27. Candidates who have not yet completed the online application process must do so before the deadline through the official website. No new applications will be accepted once the portal closes.
Is There Any Extension for KCET 2026 Fee Payment
While the registration process ends today, KEA has allowed a short window for fee payment. Candidates who have already submitted their application forms can pay the KCET 2026 examination fee until March 3, 2026, without incurring any late charges. However, applications will be considered complete only after successful fee payment.
KEA has already extended the registration deadline once and has advised candidates not to wait until the last moment.
What Is the KCET 2026 Correction Window
Alongside the registration deadline, KEA has activated the KCET 2026 application correction facility. Registered candidates can log in to review and correct errors in their submitted forms. This facility is strictly meant for editing existing applications, and no fresh registrations will be allowed after today.
Candidates are advised to verify their personal, academic, and category details carefully before the correction window closes on March 30.
What is the Special Advisory for SC Category Candidates
KEA has issued a specific reminder for candidates belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) category. Applicants must ensure they possess a valid caste certificate issued by the concerned Tahsildar, clearly mentioning the internal reservation category (A, B, or C).
Candidates are required to enter the Revenue Department (RD) number from the certificate while filling out the KCET application. Incorrect or missing details may lead to issues during document verification.
