To streamline the document verification process, it has been divided into three sessions. The first session will be held from 9:30 AM to 11 AM, followed by the second session from 11:15 AM to 1:15 PM, and the third session from 2 PM onwards.

KEA has recently issued guidelines for the document verification process. Before visiting the Block Education Officer (BEO), candidates and their parents are strongly advised to carefully read the detailed instructions regarding the online document verification process. It is crucial to note that the document verification is specifically for students who have claimed eligibility under clause ‘a’ in their KCET 2023 application form. Candidates are recommended to visit the designated websites to ensure their KCET 2023 documents are duly validated for college admission within the state.

For students who have claimed eligibility under other clauses, it is advised to appear for offline verification at KEA Bangalore. Additionally, non-Karnataka candidates who have registered for the BSc nursing program and have declared the 'Y' clause are exempted from the document verification round.

It is imperative that students come prepared with all the necessary documents as specified in the KCET 2023 guidelines to successfully complete the document verification process. The KCET 2023 examination was conducted on May 20 and 21, with the results being announced on June 15.
