The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) is expected to release the Karnataka PGCET Result 2026 (scorecard and rank card) shortly on its official portals — kea.kar.nic.in and cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea. As of August 12, 2026, the results remain awaited, with more than 50–60 days having passed since the MBA/MCA exam.
KEA conducted the PGCET 2026 exam for MBA and MCA on June 14, 2026, while the M.Tech/ME/M.Arch exam was held earlier on May 23, 2026. The provisional answer key was released on June 15, followed by an objection window. The final answer key is typically released along with the results.
Expected Result Timeline
Historically, KEA declares PGCET results 35–59 days after the exam. This year the wait has been longer than average. Multiple sources indicate the scorecard could be released anytime this week (around August 10–14), though KEA has not issued an official confirmation of the exact date or time. Candidates are advised to keep checking the official website regularly.
