The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has issued a critical notice for students who appeared for the UGCET 2026 and completed their Class 12 exams through boards like the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE). These students are required to log in to the KEA portal and enable DigiLocker access, allowing automatic retrieval of their Class 12 marks for merit preparation. KEA emphasized that there is no option to manually enter or submit marks. Students are encouraged to complete this process promptly to avoid any issues with their UGCET results. A YouTube tutorial has been provided to assist students in navigating the DigiLocker system. The marks obtained in Class 12 are crucial for ranking in various professional courses, making timely verification essential. Failure to update marks may result in withheld results, underscoring the importance of adhering to this requirement.
