The wait for the KCET 2026 Result is expected to end soon as the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) is likely to announce the results for more than 3 lakh candidates in the coming days. Students who appeared for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2026 will be able to access their scorecards online through the official KEA and Karnataka Results portals once the result link is activated.
The KCET examination is one of the most important entrance tests for admission to engineering, pharmacy, agriculture, veterinary, and other professional courses across Karnataka.
KCET 2026 Result Date and Time
According to recent updates, KEA is expected to release the KCET 2026 results in the first week of June 2026. The authority had initially planned to announce the results earlier, but the timeline was revised due to the rescheduled agricultural and veterinary practical examinations conducted at the Hiriyur centre. These practical exams concluded on June 1, allowing KEA to finalize merit rankings after incorporating practical marks.
Reports suggest that KEA may announce the results between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM, although the exact timing has not yet been officially confirmed. Previous years have shown that scorecards sometimes become available a few hours after the formal announcement.

Why Was the KCET 2026 Result Delayed?
The delay in the KCET 2026 result announcement is primarily linked to the re-conducted agricultural and veterinary practical examinations. KEA postponed the result publication to ensure that practical marks from all eligible candidates were properly included in the final merit list. More than 24,000 candidates were affected by the revised practical examination schedule.
Additionally, KEA had asked candidates from CBSE, CISCE, and other boards to upload their Class 12 marks for result processing and rank calculation.
