The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has given an important update for students who received seats in the Karnataka PGCET 2025 Round 2 counselling. The deadline to pay the admission fee and report to the allotted colleges has been extended. Students now have until October 31 to complete these crucial steps.
Earlier, KEA had set the deadline for fee payment as October 29 . The last date for students to report to their respective colleges was October 30 . This extension by KEA provides students an additional day to ensure their admission process is completed smoothly. This update is especially helpful for those who faced challenges in completing the formalities by the earlier dates.
The Karnataka PGCET 2025 Round 2 seat allotment results were announced on October 25 . These results determine which college and course a student has been assigned based on their preferences and merit. The PGCET exam is for admission to postgraduate courses like MBA, MCA, M.Tech, M.Arch, and other programs in government and private colleges across Karnataka.

Possibility of Karnataka PGCET 2025 Round 3 Counselling
The KEA might conduct a third round of counselling for Karnataka PGCET 2025. This will only happen if seats remain vacant in colleges even after the completion of the Round 2 admission process.
Colleges participating in the PGCET counselling will share information about the number of vacant seats with KEA once students have reported and the Round 2 admissions are finalised. While the official counselling process usually finishes in two rounds, KEA has organized a third and final round in previous years when many seats were still empty.
Students looking for a chance in a third round should look for updates from KEA. An announcement regarding a possible final counselling round is expected in the first week of November . Students are advised to keep an eye on the official KEA website for any new notices or schedules.
This extension is the final chance for many students to confirm their admission for the 2025 academic year through Karnataka PGCET. Completing all steps by the extended deadline of October 31 is very important.
