KCET DCET 2026: KEA Announces Document Verification for Working Professionals
The Karnataka Examinations Authority, an office that runs college entrance tests in Karnataka, has announced an important event for working grown-ups who want to study engineering.
These adults have already worked at their jobs for at least one year and took a special test called Diploma DCET 2026.
Now they must go in person to show their original documents to prove they qualify.
This document-checking event will happen on August 13, 2026, starting at 11:00 in the morning.
They must also be working within 75 kilometers of the college they want to attend.
If they pass the check, they may be allowed to join the second year of an engineering course.
However, passing the check does not automatically give them a seat.
The government decides how many seats are available through a seat matrix.
Only candidates who qualify during the document verification can be considered for those government seats.
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) announced an in-person document verification session for Diploma DCET 2026 working professional candidates on August 13, 2026, from 11:00 AM.
The verification is for professional diploma graduates who appeared for Diploma DCET 2026 and have at least one year of service experience.
Candidates must be working within a 75-km radius of the concerned institution and must appear in person with original documents.
Admissions will depend on the seat matrix issued by the Karnataka government, based on applicable AICTE guidelines for working professionals.
Eligible candidates may be considered for lateral entry admission to the second year/third semester, but meeting eligibility criteria does not guarantee a government seat.
