Overview
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the admit card for the Karnataka State Eligibility Test (KSET) 2026 on 3 October 2026. Registered candidates can download the hall ticket from the official KEA portal, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in, by logging in with their registration credentials.
KSET is the state-level eligibility test that certifies candidates as eligible for Assistant Professor appointments in universities, first-grade degree colleges and higher education institutions across Karnataka. Candidates must qualify in either KSET or NET to become eligible for these teaching positions. The KSET 2026 exam will be conducted on 11 October 2026 (Sunday) across test centres in Karnataka.
The examination will be held in two papers — Paper-I and Paper-II — and covers 37 different subjects. The test is conducted in Kannada and English, depending on the subject.
Vacancy Details
KSET 2026 is an eligibility test, not a vacancy-based recruitment — there is no post count for this announcement. Qualifying in the test certifies candidates as eligible for Assistant Professor positions in Karnataka’s universities, degree colleges and higher education institutions (government, aided or private), as per the state’s higher education recruitment rules.
Eligibility Criteria
Only candidates who successfully completed the KSET 2026 registration during the application window (10 August to 5 September 2026) can download the hall ticket. The hall ticket is issued only to candidates who filled and submitted the application form and fee within the deadline.
Registered candidates need the following to download the admit card:
- Application / registration number issued at the time of online application
- Other login details as asked on the portal (such as name, password or captcha)
Candidates should also keep a valid photo ID ready for exam day verification, along with a printed copy of the hall ticket.
