The RD number is the number printed on caste, income, 371(J) and NCLC certificates issued by the Karnataka Revenue Department. KEA checks your certificate online with it, so type it exactly.
It is printed on the certificate from Nadakacheri, usually at the top, starting with RD. You can also check it on the Nadakacheri website.
KEA says the name must match on the SSLC marks card, Aadhaar card and RD certificate. Correct the Aadhaar card and certificate as per the SSLC marks card before you apply.
KEA asks you to keep 2 or 3 printed copies of the same photo you uploaded. You need them at document verification and counselling.
KEA has not announced it yet. The 2026 form ran from 17 January to 27 February 2026, so the 2027 form is likely in January 2027. Get your photo and documents ready now.
