How Does the DCET Selection Process 2026 Work?

  • Clearing the DCET Exam 2026: Candidates are required to clear the Stage 1 and 2 examinations.
  • Portfolio Presentation and PI: The shortlisted candidates will be called for the final stage of the selection process, i.e., Portfolio Presentation and Personal Interview. 
  • Final Merit List: At the end, a final merit list will be prepared, and the candidates will be offered admissions as per the rank, college preference list, and category. 

Note: After the second round (Portfolio and Personal Interview), a merit list will be created. Following this, an allocation sheet will be prepared considering the students’ ranks and their preferred universities. Admissions will then be coordinated based on this merit list (with Girnarsoft managing the process as a third party).
