Cut Off and Merit List Details

According to the published information, candidates must secure a minimum aggregate across both papers to be considered for eligibility: 40 percent for General Merit candidates and 35 percent for eligible reserved categories. Meeting the minimum aggregate alone does not guarantee qualification.

Under the applicable UGC SET norms, only about 6 percent of the candidates appearing in both papers qualify for Assistant Professor eligibility, through the prescribed subject-wise and category-wise merit process. The subject-wise qualified lists and individual scorecards are published on the KEA portal, and candidates should rely on the scorecard for their own qualifying status.

What Next After the KSET Result

• Qualified candidates will be called for document verification as per the schedule announced by KEA.
• After verification, eligible candidates can apply for Assistant Professor posts in universities and colleges across Karnataka.
• The KSET eligibility certificate remains valid for lifetime as per UGC guidelines.
• Candidates who did not qualify may appear for a future KSET session, since eligibility tests are conducted regularly.

Other Karnataka examination updates on this site include the KEA VAO result and the KEA KREIS teacher hall ticket for candidates tracking KEA announcements.
