The standard set includes your KCET admit card and rank card, Class 10 (SSLC) and Class 12 (PUC) marks cards, and a study certificate covering seven years of study in Karnataka, countersigned by the relevant education officer.
Depending on what you are claiming, you may also need a caste certificate, income certificate, rural study certificate, Kannada-medium certificate, or a Hyderabad-Karnataka (Article 371J) eligibility certificate.
Certificates must be in the prescribed format, issued by the competent authority, and within their validity period. The wrong format is one of the most common reasons candidates lose a claimed category at verification. Always work from the current year KEA bulletin rather than a previous year.
