There is a latest update on KCET 2026 results announcement which may bring relief to more than three lakh students waiting for their entrance test scores. The result was originally expected in the last week of May. However, KEA postponed the declaration after agricultural and veterinary practical examinations had to be conducted again at the Hiriyur examination centre. The practical tests concluded on June 1, 2026. KEA then needed time to process and include the marks of more than 24,250 candidates before preparing the final merit list. This year, over 3.11 lakh students appeared for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test, which was conducted in pen-and-paper mode from April 22 to April 24 across the state.
