Hello student,

Yes, your son with an OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card can take the KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test) and apply for engineering colleges in Karnataka. OCI holders are eligible to apply for KCET and can also be considered for admission to government and private engineering colleges in Karnataka, subject to the college's specific admission policies.

To proceed, make sure he meets the eligibility criteria for KCET, such as having completed the required educational qualifications (like 12th grade with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics). It’s advisable to check the official KCET notification and the respective college guidelines for any specific requirements or documentation needed for OCI applicants.


Applications for Admissions are open.
