Hello there,

Your son may be eligible for KCET 2025 if he meets the eligibility criteria set by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA). Here are the main eligibility factors to consider:

Eligibility Criteria for KCET:

1. Resident of Karnataka :

   • He should have studied for at least 7 years in Karnataka (LKG to 10th grade). This makes him eligible under the "Karnataka Resident" category.
     
     
   • Since he has completed 10th in Karnataka , he should meet this requirement, even though he is currently in Tamil Nadu.
     
     

2. Nationality : He must be an Indian citizen.

3. Education :

   • For KCET , he should have passed 12th grade (or equivalent) with the necessary subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) for engineering or Biology for medical courses.
     
     
   • He will need to meet the minimum marks requirement (typically 45% for General category and 40% for SC/ST/OBC).
     
     

4. Eligibility for Candidates from Outside Karnataka : If your son is temporarily residing in Tamil Nadu, he can still apply for KCET as long as he fulfills the 7 years of Karnataka education condition, as he did his LKG to 10th in Karnataka.
   
   Conclusion:

As long as he fulfills the 7-year education condition in Karnataka (LKG to 10th) and meets the other eligibility conditions, he should be eligible to appear for KCET 2025 .

It’s recommended to verify the eligibility criteria by checking the official KCET 2025 notification from KEA, as specific conditions might be updated.
