Karnataka Examinations Authority has launched a state-wide UGCET 2026 KEA Manthana training programme aimed at aspirants of the undergraduate Common Entrance Test.
The announcement names the initiative as a dedicated CET Manthana training drive for engineering-focused candidates across Karnataka in 2026 .
What KEA announced: UGCET 2026 KEA Manthana training
KEA identified the programme as a state-level training effort to support students preparing for the UGCET. The authority described it as a targeted push to strengthen preparation for the Common Entrance Test ahead of the UGCET 2026 cycle.
KEA has previously run option-entry and CET-related processes in prior years, including the CET 2025 option-entry phase. The new Manthana programme is presented as the next step in preparatory support for the exam year 2026 .
What it means for students — UGCET 2026 KEA Manthana training
Students can expect structured practice and analysis sessions under the Manthana banner, according to the announcement. The authority positions the programme as support for exam technique, syllabus review and CET analysis for engineering streams.
KEA has not yet published detailed schedules, the number of training centres, eligibility fine print, fee structures, or enrolment windows. Aspirants should monitor official KEA communications for formal registration dates and centre lists.
Immediate impact for candidates includes an additional government-backed preparation option ahead of seat counselling and option-entry rounds. For aspirants targeting engineering seats, the programme may affect revision plans and coaching choices once KEA publishes logistics.
Students and colleges seeking confirmation should refer to notifications from the Karnataka Examinations Authority. KEA will be the authoritative source for timelines, admission rules, and any changes to CET procedures for 2026 .
Officials will likely publish further operational details — including dates for practice sessions, formats, and whether training will be online, in-person, or hybrid — before the UGCET registration window opens.
Until KEA releases full guidelines, students should continue standard preparation: revising core topics, practising past papers, and tracking official announcements for enrolment and exam dates.
