Direct Admission in KARE 2026 — Fees, Process and Seats

Q: What documents are needed for management quota admission?

Typically required: 10th & 12th mark sheets, entrance exam scorecard (KCET/COMEDK/JEE), TC, CC, Aadhar card, passport photos, and caste certificate if applicable.

Q: What is management quota in engineering colleges?

Management quota is a portion of seats that engineering colleges fill directly through their own admission process, separate from government counselling (KCET/COMEDK). In Karnataka, Private (Unaided) and Private Aided colleges reserve 25% for management quota, 45% for KCET, and 30% for COMEDK. Deemed Universities like PES University and Christ University operate differently — they fill their non-KCET seats (up to 60%) through their own tests and direct admissions. MQ fees are higher than government quota fees.
