Students awaiting the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2026 results may not have to wait much longer, with the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) expected to announce the UGCET scorecards in the first week of June. The result declaration was delayed after the rescheduling of agricultural and veterinary practical examinations at the Hiriyur centre, which concluded on June 1.
More than 3.1 lakh candidates appeared for KCET 2026, which serves as the gateway for admissions to engineering, agriculture, pharmacy, and other professional courses across Karnataka.

Why the KCET 2026 Results Were Delayed
The KEA had initially been expected to release the results in late May. However, authorities postponed the announcement because practical examinations for agriculture and veterinary streams had to be rescheduled for over 24,000 candidates at the Hiriyur centre. KEA said the final merit list could only be prepared after receiving all practical examination marks. Following the completion of those examinations on June 1, the authority is now finalising the scorecards and rank lists.
Result Expected in First Week of June
While KEA has not yet announced an official date and time for the release of results, several education portals and media reports indicate that the scorecards are likely to be published shortly, with the announcement expected during the first week of June. Students are advised to regularly check the official KEA portals for updates regarding the result declaration and subsequent counselling schedule.
