Eligible students can now download their admit cards directly from their online candidate login portals.In total, over 10,000 postgraduate seats are up for grabs across the state. This includes 6,405 engineering seats across 86 govt, grant-in-aid, and self-financed institutions; 3,333 pharmacy seats across 75 colleges; and 289 planning seats across 10 institutes.While PGCET opens doors for those looking to improve on low national scores or get a second chance, the final admissions merit list will still prioritise candidates with valid GATE or GPAT scores.
