Karnataka Diploma Common Entrance Test Eligibility Criteria 2027

The test is meant for candidates holding a diploma awarded by the Board of Technical Examinations, Karnataka, or a body recognised as equivalent, in a discipline that maps to the degree branch applied for. Karnataka domicile and study conditions apply for government quota seats, and candidates must satisfy the state's eligibility clauses on schooling and residence to claim a category or reservation benefit. Candidates awaiting their final diploma result may be permitted to apply provisionally. The minimum marks required in the diploma, the branch-to-branch mapping allowed, category relaxations and the documents needed at verification are set out in the official notification and information bulletin issued by the Karnataka Examinations Authority for that cycle.
