Latest update : KCET 2025 application form has been released by the Karnataka Examination Authority on January 23, 2025 and the last date to fill the application form is February 18, 2025. Candidates can fill out the application form on the official website cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. The KCET 2025 admit card will be released by the authorities on April 7, 2025 and candidates can download the admit card from the website.

As per KCET syllabus 2025 , Electric Charges and Fields is considered an easy topic as it mostly covers formula-based questions, conceptual clarity, and fewer complex calculations. Electric charges and fields are a fundamental topic of electromagnetism which forms the basis of understanding electric fields, electric forces, their reactions and interactions. In this article, we have discussed KCET Electric Charges and Fields Weightage Marks 2025 along with important sub-topics and sample questions to boost the preparation.

Dear Student,

Although Dr. S. & SS Ghandhy Government Engineering College, Surat does not offer a direct admission to second-year diploma in engineering program, it does grant admission to regular 3-year Diploma in Mechanical Engineering based on 10th marks. For admission to other second-year courses, students are required to have completed a diploma or B.Sc degree. Based on your marks in the Diploma or B.Sc course, you may get admission to the second year as a lateral entry student. The admission process at Dr. S. & SS Ghandhy Government is based on merit and a list is created based on …

Dear Student,

Agar aap ka GATE score 530 hain, to NIT Durgapur, IIIT Bihar aur IITDM Kurnool mein Data Science & Artificial Intelligence course ke liye admission mil sakta hain. Agar aap OPEN Category se belong karte hain, toh NIT Durgapur mein aap ko shayad admission na mile, but OBC-NCL/ EWS ategory mein admission mil sakti hain. Aap doosre NIT colleges accepting GATE score 500-600 bhi check kar sakte hain. Unfortunately, GATE score 530 pe aap ko kisi bhi IIT mein admission nahi milegi. 

We hope this answers your query. Good luck!

Dear Sir/ Ma'am,

As per the eligibility criteria set by the JNTUH authority, to be eligible as a local candidate for the TS EAMCET, all students are required to have completed their 10+2 level education from the Board of Intermediate Education, Telangana. Therefore, since your son has not done his Intermediate/ 10+2 from a school affiliated with the Board of Intermediate Education, Telangana, he does not meet the TS EAMCET 2025 eligibility criteria and cannot sit for the entrance exam. However, you can explore other similar exams for which your son will be eligible such as the AP EAMCET 2025 …
