About KEA

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), at Malleshwaram in Bengaluru, runs KCET (UGCET) and the state's seat allotment for engineering, medical (UGNEET), DCET, PGCET, KSET and nursing courses. It also conducts many state recruitment exams.

Everything runs on cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea: applications, hall tickets, key answer objections, option entry and round-wise seat allotment results. Several of these links open on separate KEA servers, so one can fail while the main page loads.

Questions

This page watches cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea and lists reports from candidates. A rush of reports on a result or option entry day means KEA's servers are overloaded. If the KEA home page opens but one link does not, only that portal is struggling.

KEA's busiest days are result day, the first hours of option entry and each seat allotment round. Thousands of KCET and NEET candidates log in at once, and pages time out. Many KEA links also run on separate servers, so one can be down while the main page works.

Open the option entry link from the KEA home page itself, and try again after the first rush. Keep your list of colleges and courses ready before you log in. Watch the round's last date on KEA's notices, as extensions are announced there.

Results of each round, mock, provisional and final, are posted as separate links on the UGCET page of the KEA site. If one link is slow, wait a while and retry, keeping your CET number ready.

The Common section of the KEA page carries the hall ticket download, OMR view and key answer objection links. Each opens only in its announced window.
