You need a degree with at least 50% marks, or 45% if you are a Karnataka SC, ST or Category-1 candidate. A BCA or a computer science degree works, and so does a B.Sc, B.Com or B.A. with Maths in Class 12 or in the degree. You also need a PGCET rank for a KEA seat. KEA does not round off your percentage, so 49.9% is not 50%.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Degree | BCA, B.Sc Computer Science, or B.E. or B.Tech in computer science |
| Other degrees | B.Sc, B.Com or B.A. with Maths in Class 12 or in the degree, plus a bridge course |
| Marks | 50% in the degree, 45% for Karnataka SC, ST and Category-1 |
| Exam | Karnataka PGCET rank for a KEA seat; PGCET or KMAT score for a management seat |
The route has four steps: the PGCET exam, KEA option entry, the seat fee and reporting at the college. KEA allots the seat on your rank and your options, and you pay the fee to KEA. If you do not pay and report by the last date, you lose the seat.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Write PGCET | KEA holds the exam once a year, in June in 2026 |
| 2. Enter options | Add Atria, code C517, to your option list on the KEA portal |
| 3. Pay the fee | Pay the KEA fee after allotment and download the admission order |
| 4. Report | Bring the admission order and original marks cards to the college |
| Management seat | Apply at the Admission Office with a PGCET or KMAT score |
