- Click the result link for MBA, MCA or M.Tech.
- Enter the login details the result page asks for.
- Check your marks and rank on the result sheet.
- Download the result sheet as a PDF and keep it until admission is complete.
Colleges do not provide result sheets at admission time, so you must produce your own copy at the allotted college.
How is the PGCET rank decided?
KEA ranks candidates separately for MBA, MCA and M.E./M.Tech using only PGCET marks. Your degree marks count only for eligibility and for breaking ties.
- Ties: higher aggregate in the qualifying degree first, then the older candidate, then draw of lots.
- M.E./M.Tech has two lists: a GATE rank list on valid GATE scores, which gets first preference, and a PGCET rank list.
- A rank alone does not give a seat. You need 50% aggregate in your degree (45% for SC, ST and Category-I of Karnataka) to take a seat.
