Yes, non-Karnataka domicile candidates can apply for KCET 2025, but there are specific conditions and processes to follow. While KCET is primarily designed for Karnataka state students, non-domicile candidates can participate in the counseling process for certain courses, such as medical admissions (MBBS, BDS, BAMS, etc.), based on their NEET UG 2025 scores. This means that non-Karnataka candidates do not need to take the KCET exam for medical courses but must register through the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) portal for state counseling.
