The Karnataka Examinations Authority announced that the topper of the engineering stream of the KCET 2026 is Tanisha Karthik. The authority has also released the list of top-ranked candidates in various streams. The honour is after months of hard work by the students fighting for seats in the most prominent professional batchmates of the state. The list of detailed rankings is expected to decide the placement of the candidates in the upcoming counselling session.
KCET is one of the biggest entrance examinations held by any state government in India. In 2026, more than 330,479 candidates appeared for the entrance examination. Massive candidate participation underlines the significance of KCET for admission to professional courses in Karnataka. Every year, lakhs of students compete for seats in engineering, pharmacy and many other popular courses. The entrance examination took place at 745 centres across the state.
The entrance examination was held in offline mode on April 22, 2026 and April 24, 2026. The candidates were required to answer the questions using the paper and pen format at designated centres.
After the completion of the entrance examination, KEA released the provisional answer key, opened objections from candidates and finally released the final answer key. The result was prepared based on the finalised evaluation procedure. The authority has completed the evaluation process before declaring the rank and scorecards.
To check the KCET 2026 scorecard, students should visit the official KEA website. To check the result, candidates will be required to log in with the credentials of examination authorities.
