KCET 2025 Marks Entry Portal Live for Non-Karnataka Board Candidates: The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has opened the KCET 2025 marks entry window exclusively for students who completed their Class 12 education outside the Karnataka State Board. This process is essential for determining eligibility and merit ranks for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2025, a crucial gateway for admission into engineering, pharmacy, and other professional courses in Karnataka.
Candidates from CBSE and CISCE boards who studied within Karnataka are exempted from this marks entry requirement, as their scores will be auto-fetched by KEA from the state education department. Only candidates who completed Class 12 outside Karnataka or under other national/international boards are required to manually submit their academic marks online.

Who Needs to Submit Marks and Why It Matters
KEA’s latest update for KCET 2025 makes it clear that only students who did not study under Karnataka board or within the state under CBSE/CISCE need to manually enter their Class 12 marks. This step ensures that students from diverse education backgrounds are fairly evaluated in the centralized admission process.
According to KEA, “Students from CBSE and ICSE boards within the state do not need to enter their marks. The marks can be submitted using the login ID,” as stated in the official translated notice.
