Primary answer
Yes, candidates from outside Karnataka can apply for Karnataka PGCET. However, they may not be eligible for certain state-reserved quota seats meant exclusively for Karnataka domicile candidates. Non-Karnataka students are typically eligible for General Merit or management quota seats, depending on the institution’s admission policy. Eligibility rules regarding domicile are clearly specified in the annual KEA information bulletin.
