The following technique is applied to resolve ties in the Karnataka PGCET exam:

1. Qualifying Exam Aggregate: The candidate with higher total marks in the qualifying degree (graduation) is given a better rank.
2. Age: If the tie remains, the older candidate is given preference over the younger candidate.
3. Draw of Lots: If both the above criteria fail to resolve the tie, ranks are assigned by draw of lots.
