KCET 2026 Correction Window Now Active for Submitted Applications
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially commenced the correction window for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2026 application forms. This critical facility allows candidates who have already submitted their forms to edit and update specific details through the designated online portal.
Key Dates and Important Guidelines for Applicants
The KCET 2026 correction window will remain accessible to candidates until March 30, 2026. According to the official notice released by KEA, this opportunity is exclusively for making corrections in application forms that have already been submitted. The authority has explicitly stated that fresh applications will not be accepted after the initial deadline has passed.
KEA has issued a vital instruction for all candidates: only the information available in the final submitted application will be saved on the server and deemed valid for subsequent admission and seat allotment processes. Applicants are strongly advised to meticulously review all entered data before proceeding with the final submission to avoid any discrepancies.
Special Instructions for Scheduled Caste Candidates Under Internal Reservation
The examination authority has provided specific and mandatory guidelines for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates who are applying under the internal reservation categories, namely Category-A, Category-B, and Category-C. Such candidates must adhere to the following requirements:
- Obtain a caste certificate that clearly includes internal reservation details from the concerned Tahsildar.
- Accurately enter the Revenue Department (RD) number in the designated section of the KCET 2026 online application form.
KEA has noted that some applicants in the past have entered RD numbers from older caste certificates that do not mention internal reservation specifics. This oversight can potentially affect their eligibility for reserved category seat allotment. The official notice clarifies that only candidates who correctly enter the RD number in the online form will be considered under their respective reserved category for the admission process.
