The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has declared the result of Diploma Common Entrance Test 2017 (DCET) on its official website kea.kar.nic.in. The DCET was conducted by the KEA on July 2 (Sunday) wherein more than 25,000 aspirants appeared. Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) had published the provisional answer keys on July 13 (Thursday). There was a considerable delay in the announcement of DCET 2017 result. In 2016, the KEA had conducted the exam on 3rd July with the results announced on July 12. This year the delay in publication of provisional answer keys further pushed back the results. KEA had released the provisional answer keys on July 13 and the last date for submitting the objections was July 17.
Now the students can check the final answer key as well as the DCET results as they have released the same on their official sites. The KEA organizes the DCET annually for admission to the second year and third semester of Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) and first year Architecture courses (under the lateral scheme). In Addition, the KEA will also announce the merit list/ rank list for admission to these courses by Day and Evening Engineering Colleges.
