For direct admission into the third semester or second-year engineering courses and to gain eligibility for first-year architecture courses, document verification for candidates who have secured a DCET rank will be conducted from June 10 to 13 at government and aided polytechnic colleges. This was informed by H. Prasanna, Executive Director of the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA).
The list of 37 colleges where document verification will take place has been published on the KEA website. Candidates must visit any one of the colleges near them in person. Before that, candidates are required to book an appointment date in advance, as stated in the official notification.
Candidates must carry all original educational documents supporting the claims made during the online application, along with certificates related to special categories (such as NCC, sports, defense personnel, ex-servicemen, CAPF, ex-CAPF — only if claimed) without fail, he further explained.
Meanwhile, the Authority had launched three digital initiatives—a college portal, a mobile App, and a chatbot—to streamline processes for students. Higher Education Minister Dr M C Sudhakar inaugurated the tools during a ceremony at the Higher Education Council’s seminar hall, commending KEA for leveraging technology to provide timely, accurate information and reduce reliance on intermediaries.
The college portal centralises information to assist students in selecting colleges before the application process. Previously, students relied on fragmented sources, often leading to uninformed decisions and subsequent requests for changes. Colleges can now upload details directly, including infrastructure, academic environment, labs, libraries, classrooms, hostels, course fees, and faculty profiles.
