No PGCET for five engineering courses: KEA
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has decided not to conduct PGCET-2025 for five ME/MTech courses after fewer candidates than the number of seats available registered for the exam. Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Polymer Science, and Textile Technology are the five courses for which the exam will not be conducted. 'Since the number of applicants is less than the available seats for these courses, a merit list will be prepared and published based on the marks obtained in the qualifying degree examination. This proposal has been submitted to the government,' said H. Prasanna, Executive Director, KEA. With the exception of these five courses, the entrance exam for Civil Engineering, Mechanical Sciences, and Electrical Sciences will be held as per schedule on May 31. The computer-based test for Computer Science Engineering will be conducted on June 2.

PGCET: Computer-based test for CS course admission this time
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has decided to conduct a Computer-Based Test (CBT) only for admission to M.E. and Computer Science courses for the first time in Post Graduate Common Entrance Test (PGCET-2025). The exam will be held on June 2. To help students get familiar with the format, mock tests will be conducted on May 26 and 27, according to a release issued by H. Prasanna, the Executive Director of KEA. Candidates will be provided with a practice link after downloading their admission tickets. They can use the link to practice for the test, he said. For courses other than Computer Science, the written exam for M.E. and admissions will be held on May 31, he added. Since this is the first attempt to conduct the Computer-Based Test, the infrastructure will be assessed, and based on that, CBT may be extended to other courses in the future, he added.
