Analysis of KSET Result 2025: Key Statistics and Rules
The Karnataka Examinations Authority successfully conducted the K-SET 2025 for 33 Subjects in a single phase. The Provisional Answer Keys were hosted previously, and the final results were processed based on expert-verified answer keys.
Here is a look at the official statistics underpinning the KSET Result 2025 declaration:
- Total Candidates Appeared (Paper I & II): 1,21,052.
- Total Slots Available (6% Rule): 7,263 (calculated as 6% of the appeared candidates).
- Total Candidates Officially Qualified: 8,383.
Understanding the Slot Calculation in the KSET Result 2025
The total number of qualified candidates (8,383) is higher than the calculated slots (7,263). This is due to a specific UGC guideline:
- The merit list is prepared subject-wise and category-wise using aggregate marks.
- As per UGC Guidelines for SET, in any subject under any category, all candidates who meet the final cut-off percentage for that subject are included in the qualified list, even if it causes the total number of qualified candidates to slightly exceed the overall 6% available slots. This ensures fairness for all tied candidates and leads to a higher-than-expected final qualified number.
KSET Result 2025: Minimum Qualifying Marks Explained
To qualify for eligibility for Assistant Professor, candidates must meet both the overall minimum marks threshold and the subject-wise cut-off percentage. The mandatory minimum marks required in aggregate (Paper I and Paper II combined, total 300 marks) are as follows:
| Category | Minimum Aggregate Marks Required (Paper I + II) | Percentage |
| General (Unreserved) Category | At least 120/300 marks | 40% |
| Reserved Categories | At least 105/300 marks | 35% |
| (Includes SC, ST, Cat-I, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB, PwD, and Transgender) |
It is important to note that the merit list preparation, including the quota and slots under General and all reserved categories, is computed based solely on the candidate’s claims made at the time of application
