Vignesh achieved an outstanding score of 97.889 percent, securing the top position. Arjun Krishnaswamy from RV PU College, Bengaluru, and Samrudh Shetty from Vidyaniketan PU Science College, Hubli, secured the second and third ranks, respectively. Apart from the third and fourth ranks, Bengaluru candidates dominated the top ranks.
The results were officially announced on June 15, 2023, at 9:30 am. Candidates can access their results on the official websites: http://kea.kar.nic.in and karresults.nic.in. However, the result details were made available to candidates from 11 am onwards. Out of the total 261,610 applicants, 244,345 candidates appeared for the examination. The performance assessment was based on the revised Key Answers provided by subject experts, which were made available on the KEA website.
Based on the merit lists generated for various courses, it has been determined that 203,381 candidates are eligible for Engineering & Technology courses, 164,187 candidates for B.Sc. (Agri) (Farm Science), 166,756 candidates for Veterinary, 166,746 candidates for Naturopathy & Yoga, and 206,191 candidates for B.Pharma & 206,340 for Pharm-D courses. Additionally, the CET was conducted for B.Sc. (Nursing) as well, with 166,808 candidates becoming eligible.
The KEA has also provided the top ten rank holders in various courses, including Engineering, Veterinary, Farm Science, Pharmacy, Naturopathy & Yoga, and B.Sc. (Nursing). However, candidates whose results have been withheld due to the lack of necessary documents must submit photocopies of the required documents to KEA through email, fax, or in person for their results to be published.
It is essential to note that the assignment of ranks does not guarantee seat selection until the original documents are verified during the verification process. For admission to Medical/Dental courses and ISM & Homoeopathy (excluding Naturopathy & Yoga) courses, UGNEET-2023 ranking will be considered, while NATA scores will be considered for Architecture courses. Any updates regarding NEET/NATA results will be published on the KEA website.
In case an applicant’s rank is not displayed in the ranking list, they can search for their name in the search list. CBSE candidates can forward their mark sheets to KEA via email to receive a spot rank.
With over 2 lakh candidates appearing for the Karnataka CET exams this year, the competition has been fierce. The results not only provide individual scores but also include the list of KCET 2023 toppers and the rank list. These additional details give candidates a comprehensive overview of their performance in comparison to their peers.
