Conducted by Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA)
Karnataka PGCET is the state-level postgraduate entrance test conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority for admission to MBA, MCA and M.E./M.Tech programmes in government, aided and private colleges across Karnataka. The MBA paper carries 100 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 120 minutes, split evenly at 20 questions each across Proficiency in the English Language, General Knowledge, Reasoning & General Intelligence, Quantitative Analysis and Computer Awareness. There is no negative marking. Note that PGCET is a family of papers — the MCA and M.E./M.Tech papers follow different patterns from the MBA paper modelled here.

Karnataka PGCET (Karnataka Post Graduate Common Entrance Test (MBA)) follows this pattern:
- Questions: 100
- Total marks: 100
- Duration: 2 hours
- Difficulty: Medium
Crackto mock tests mirror this exactly, so your practice reflects real timing pressure rather than an approximation.
Crackto provides comprehensive analytics for every Karnataka PGCET attempt:
- Score trend across attempts, so improvement is visible rather than assumed
- Section-wise breakdown pinpointing which areas cost you marks
- Accuracy versus speed, separating knowledge gaps from time-management gaps
- Percentile and rank against every other Karnataka PGCET aspirant on the same paper
- Question-level time tracking to expose the questions that quietly drain your clock
Yes, absolutely. Retake any Karnataka PGCET mock test as often as you like — retakes are not limited or charged separately.
Each attempt is stored on its own, so your analytics show the trend across attempts instead of overwriting your earlier score. Retaking a paper after reviewing its solutions is one of the most reliable ways to convert a weak section into a strong one.
Karnataka PGCET, formally Karnataka Post Graduate Common Entrance Test (MBA), is conducted by Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA).
Official notifications, application dates and results are published on the conducting body's own website: https://cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea. Always confirm dates and eligibility there — Crackto is a preparation platform, not the conducting authority.
The eligibility requirements recorded for Karnataka PGCET are:
- Qualification: A bachelor's degree of minimum three years' duration from a recognised university with at least 50% aggregate marks (45% for SC, ST and Category-I candidates of Karnataka).

Age relaxations commonly apply to reserved categories. Check the official notification for the exact relaxation that applies to you before applying.
Karnataka PGCET is available in English.
Where a Crackto mock test is offered in more than one language, you can pick your language before starting the paper — practising in the language you will actually sit the exam in matters more than most candidates expect.
Crackto mirrors the official marking scheme of Karnataka PGCET rather than applying a single blanket rule, so if the real paper penalises wrong answers, the mock does too.
The exact scheme for any given paper — marks per correct answer and the penalty for a wrong one — is displayed on that test's page before you begin, and again in your results breakdown afterwards.
The Karnataka PGCET syllabus is defined by the conducting body and published with each notification.
Crackto mock tests are mapped to it section by section, so after a few attempts your analytics show which areas you have genuinely covered and which need work.
