Hello,

If you've forgotten your KCET application number, you can retrieve it using the following methods:

1. Check Your Registered Email and SMS :

   • Upon successful registration, the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) sends the application number and user ID to your registered email address and mobile number. Search your email inbox (including spam/junk folders) and SMS messages for communications from KEA.

2. Examine Your Payment Receipt or Challan :

   • If you paid the application fee via challan, your application number is typically included in the candidate's copy of the challan. For example, in a KEA reference number like "1144552001," the application number would be the six digits starting from the second digit, i.e., "144552."

     Applications for Admissions are open.
