KCET 2018 results for admission to engineering seats in Karnataka had been announced on Friday, June 1, two days after COMEDK, the other entrance test for private engineering colleges, was announced on Monday, May 28.

KCET takes into account 50 percent of Class 12 or state Pre-university Course (PUC) marks and another 50 percent from the marks scored by candidates in respective subjects in KCET 2018. Now that the final ranking is also known, candidates can seek admission based in respective colleges at government-fixed fee at approximately Rs.60,000 which is one-third less than the COMEDK fees at Rs.200,000 per annum for these seats.

KCET 2018 was held from April 18 to 20 this year and more than 1.98 lakh candidates in Karnataka had appeared for the exam seeking admission to B.
