Clarification on Document Verification for KCET 2025

My KCET study certificate shows "claimed by me but not verified." Some say verification is needed before the exam, while others say hall tickets are issued, and verification happens later at the allotted college.

YouTube sources claim the process will be online. However, KCET requires a minimum of 7 years of study in Karnataka to qualify to write the exam.

Can KEA confirm which is accurate? Will an unverified certificate affect my eligibility to appear for the exam?
