Your daughter has completed 12th from NIOS and has written the KCET exam. You are concerned whether KCET will wait for the NIOS results or not, and what happens if KCET results come first. Here's the clarity:

i. Will KCET wait for NIOS results to be announced?
Usually, KCET (Karnataka Common Entrance Test) does not specifically wait for NIOS or any particular board's result. But for the document verification and final merit list, the 12th marks must be available. So if NIOS results are delayed beyond document verification schedule, it may cause a problem.

ii. What if KCET results are announced first?
That is completely okay. KCET ranks are first announced based only on CET scores. But final admission and ranking will depend on 12th marks as well. So even if KCET announces results first, your daughter must make sure to upload her NIOS marks once the results are declared, before the document verification deadline.

If NIOS results come too late, your daughter may not be included in the final merit list unless KEA gives special permission or extension. You are advised to stay in touch with KEA regularly and write to them once NIOS gives a result timeline.
