Karnataka PGCET is conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), Government of Karnataka. It is held for admission to postgraduate programs such as MBA (Master of Business Administration), MCA (Master of Computer Applications), ME/M.Tech (Master of Engineering/Technology), and M.Arch in colleges across Karnataka. While MBA and MCA admissions are primarily based on PGCET scores, GATE-qualified candidates may also be eligible for ME/M.Tech admissions under specific categories, subject to KEA rules.
