The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has rescheduled the Kannada language exam for Horanadu and Gadinadu candidates appearing for KCET 2025. Initially planned for an earlier date, the exam will now take place on April 15, ensuring proper arrangements and accessibility for students from Karnataka’s border areas and non-Kannada-speaking regions.
Horanadu and Gadinadu candidates are students of Karnataka origin residing in other states or border regions who must qualify in the Kannada language test to become eligible for state quota seats. The exam evaluates their proficiency in Kannada, a mandatory requirement for securing admission to professional courses under the Karnataka government quota.
KEA has urged all affected candidates to stay updated with the latest notifications on the official website and download revised admit cards accordingly. Students must ensure they meet the eligibility criteria and carry the necessary documents for verification on the exam day.
With KCET being a crucial gateway for admissions into engineering, pharmacy, and other professional courses in Karnataka, this rescheduling ensures a fair opportunity for eligible students. The KEA has also advised candidates to regularly check their emails and official announcements for any further updates.
