Rescheduled KCET Exam Dates:

The KCET 2024 examination, originally scheduled for April 20 and 21, has undergone a rescheduling. The new exam dates are April 18 and 19, 2024. This modification is in consideration of the clash with the National Defence Academy (NDA) exams, set to take place on April 21.
