Hi i have filled kcet application i am a dropper after filling shld i verify the documents again this year and where shld i do ? After that i shld directly go for exam pls guide

Ans: No, your verified documents from last year are NOT valid. Dropper candidates must undergo fresh document verification this year through official KEA verification centers. For Clause A: January 20 to February 20, 2026 (11 AM–4 PM) at your college. For other clauses (most droppers): May 2026 at KEA, 18th Cross, Bangalore, or designated helpline centers. Book your verification slot online at cetonline(dot)karnataka(dot)gov(dot)in after completing your KCET application. Carry original documents (10th/12th marks cards, seven-year study certificate countersigned by BEO/DDPI, caste/income certificates with RD numbers if applicable, Aadhaar card, and passport photos). Receive a verification slip after completion—essential for counseling eligibility. Without this slip, you cannot enter your college choices in the allotment process, regardless of exam performance. You are strongly advised to review the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) Information Bulletin 2026 and official guidelines for detailed procedural instructions and compliance requirements. All the BEST for Your KCET-2026 Exam & for Your Prosperous Future!

Hello sir I had a doubt- the KEA website has released two second round provisional results for medical and dental, one on the 10th and the other on the 20th I’ve gotten a seat in the list released on the 10th, but I didn’t get a seat allotted in the list released on the 20th And when I go to the portal, it’s showing “You are Stopped from the Cet Admission Process” I did pay the caution deposit of 1,00,000 on time What to do?
Ans: Hi Shubha,
Your concern is about the refund of the caution deposit, not about being stopped from the CET admission process.

If you have been stopped from the KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) CET admission process and need to get your deposited caution deposit refunded, you will likely receive it back after a deduction for a processing fee, provided that the cancellation occurs before the mop-up round and not after a final forfeiture. To claim the refund, you will need to follow specific procedures, which include providing your bank account details to the KEA and submitting required documents, such as your admission order, challan, and verification slip. The refund is typically processed to the same account from which the deposit was made and can take up to 15 working days.
Procedure:

Reasons for Being Stopped:
There are various reasons, such as cancellation of a seat, failure to join an allotted institution, or other procedural issues. The status of your deposit will depend on the specific reason for being stopped, which you haven't mentioned.

Check the Specific Refund and Forfeiture Rules:
- Before the Mop-Up Round: If you cancel before the last date for mop-up option entry, a processing fee will be deducted, and the remainder of your deposit will be refunded.
- After the Mop-Up Round or After Seat Allotment Cancellation: If you cancel after the mop-up round or if your admission is canceled, the entire deposit may be forfeited.

Based on the above information, you can initiate the refund process.

To Initiate the Refund Process:
Provide Bank Details: To receive the refund, you must furnish your bank account details to KEA as per their instructions and deadlines.

Submit Required Documents: You will need to provide documents such as your admission order, challan, and verification slip to process the cancellation and refund.

Sir My son has completed his B.Com Honours from SASTRA during the year 2025. He is interested in pursuing MA from Madras School of Economics in this year 2026. He is currently enrolled in the Executive course of Company Secretary from ICSI. I wanted to know whether pursuing the course in Madras School of Economics is worthwhile and also the likelihood of getting good placements after successful completion of the course. Please provide your advice and suggestions which would help me in taking a decision. Thanks and Regards V NARASIMHAN
Ans: Narasimhan Sir, according to today’s (13th April 2026) Times of India (Education Times) advertisement, Madras School of Economics offers multiple programmes such as a 5?year Integrated MA, MA programmes in five specialisations, MBA, MSc in Data Science, and even PhD. Now, regarding your son’s wish to pursue an MA and also keeping in mind that he is already pursuing the ICSI Executive Course, it is important to know whether he has decided which one of the five MA specialisations—Actuarial Economics, Applied Quantitative Finance, Environmental Economics, Financial Economics, or General Economics—he wants to choose and why. However, since he has already joined the ICSI Executive, it is advisable to go for the MA in Financial Economics, because its core courses and electives in financial markets, asset pricing, corporate finance, risk, and regulation directly complement the CS Executive papers on Corporate Accounting, Financial Management, Capital Markets, and Securities Laws. This combination is very helpful for careers in corporate finance, investment banking, and financial?compliance advisory, where both domain?specific economics knowledge and legal?compliance skills are highly valued. At the same time, your son must be sure and confident that he can comfortably manage the workload of both ICSI and the MA in Financial Economics. As far as placements are concerned, all five MA specialisations—General Economics, Financial Economics, Applied Quantitative Finance, Actuarial Economics, and Environmental Economics—have broadly similar placement outcomes, but Financial Economics and Applied Quantitative Finance usually lean more towards higher?paying jobs in finance and analytics, while Environmental Economics and General Economics often lead more towards policy, research, consulting, and data?heavy roles. It should also be noted that success in placements does not depend only on the specialisation, but also on the student’s skill upgradation, soft skills, a strong LinkedIn profile, and effective networking strategies. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
