PGCET is an entrance test for admissions into postgraduate courses (MBA, MCA, ME / M.Tech) in the State of Karnataka.

The State Government has withdrawn from the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) the responsibility of conducting Postgraduate Common Entrance Test (PGCET) for courses such as Master of Computer Application, Master of Engineering, and Master of Technology.
