No age limit applies, but candidates must be 17+ by December 31, 2026.

This criteria aligns with GAT's 2025 intake, where 1,200+ B.E. seats filled 98% through eligible KCET scorers under 10,000 rank.

GAT bases 75% of B.E. admissions on KCET (Karnataka) or COMEDK UGET (all-India), with PGCET/GATE for M.Tech—exams held in April-May 2026. Management quota skips exams but demands 10+2 merit review.

• COMEDK UGET 2026: INR 1,800 fee; online test; ideal for non-Karnataka, with GAT allotting 25% seats via counseling.
• PGCET 2026 for PG: INR 650 fee; state-level for M.Tech/MBA; GATE qualifiers get direct entry with 50+ percentile.
• DCET for Lateral: July 2026 exam; targets diploma-to-degree transition.
