Common Entrance Test (CET) is conducted every year by the Karnataka Government for the admission in Engineering and Medical colleges. The first exam was held in 1984.
The CET Cell will conduct the seat selection process for government seats for admissions to first-year Medical, Dental, Engineering, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani, Naturopathy and Yoga and Architecture courses.
As of 2008 CET will be known as KEA - Karnataka Examination Authority. KEA will conduct all exams on behalf of the Education department of Karnataka.
Candidates who have obtained admission to a particular discipline through the CET Cell in the previous years will not be eligible for selection of a seat in the same discipline in 2005. The State government has also decided not to conduct the test for non-Karnataka candidates. Karnataka candidates residing outside the state (Horanadu and Gadinadu Karnataka) can procure the brochure and application form by Speed Post by sending a self-addressed cloth-lined envelope of 25 cm x 30 cm size along with a Demand Draft for Rs 650.
Goverment decided in January 2009 to abolish CET for Dental, ayurveda, Unani and Homeopathy courses from 2008-09 academic year. Admissions will be based on Class 12 or II PUC marks.
The Common Entrance Test (CET) 2009 for admission to professional courses will be held for two days – April 29 and 30, 2009 – in 4 sessions.
To facilitate students who are studying in II PU or Class 12 within Karnataka (including freshers, repeaters and ex-students), the brochure-cum-application forms containing details of CET 2009, and the seat-selection process will be given through respective schools and colleges. Principals of all colleges have to collect the brochure fee in the form of demand draft from students.
The cost of CET-2009 brochure-cum-application form is Rs 550 fro GM, 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B category students, and Rs 400 for SC, ST and category-1 students. The DD should be drawn in favour of Executive director Karnataka Examinations Authority, Bangalore, payable at Bangalore. Students have to submit DDs to the schools and colleges concerned.

New guidelines for CET 2007
For one, every single answer sheet will be uploaded on the CET website for students to verify their answer sheets against the key answers.
"It will be completely transparent, where one student will be able to see another's answer sheet as well," minister for higher education D H Shankaramurthy said after releasing the CET 2007 brochure on Wednesday.
This year, students have an added bonanza of 1,500 engineering seats. Polytechnic colleges in Bhadravati, Chikmagalur, Kushalnagar and Hassan with 300 seats each are being upgraded to engineering colleges.
In addition to this, a new engineering college at Ramanagaram with 300 seats will add up to the CET matrix this year. "The existing polytechnic students will continue in the college till their course is completed," Shankaramurthy added.
