In 2020, the Karnataka PGCET exams were conducted on October 13 and 14 while the results were announced on December 06. Similarly, back in 2019, the results were declared on August 23 and the examination was held on July 20 and 21. Approximately, the results are declared within 30 to 50 from the examination date. Hence, this time, candidates can expect their Karnataka PGCET 2021 results within December 14, 2021 to January 03, 2022.
After receiving the objections against the provisional answer keys, the expert committee will verify the same and publish the final answer key. This will also be used to determine the merit order of the candidates. Please take note that the ranks will be assigned separately for ME, M.Tech, and M.Arch courses as per the norms and procedure. However, the date for publishing the results has not been intimated by KEA. It is expected that the correct answer keys will be published along with the results.
