The Karnataka PGCET MBA and MCA exam dates were revised because they were clashing with the UPSC exam. Both exams are scheduled on May 24. Many students applied for both of these exams. Due to the clash, several candidates requested that KEA postpone the exam. With this, they could appear for both exams without missing any opportunity.
After receiving many requests and feedback from students, KEA decided to postpone the entrance exams. The decision made all the candidates happy as it gave them additional time to prepare and removed the pressure of choosing between two important exams. Before the official announcement, KEA had already mentioned that they would change the exam date.
While the MBA and MCA exam date has been postponed, KEA has mentioned clearly in the notice that the MTech exam will remain unchanged. The Karnataka PGCET 2026 MTech exam will be conducted on May 23. Along with the MTech exam, the Diploma Common Entrance Test (DCET) will be held on the same day.
