The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) will soon release the KCET 2026 counselling schedule . The official website, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in, will host the dates. Candidates can expect the choice filling portal and seat allotment system to activate concurrently.
Over 2.9 lakh students qualified for the KCET 2026 exam. They are eligible for admissions to engineering, pharmacy, architecture, and other professional courses. The counselling process determines seat allocation based on candidate rank and choices.
Counselling Process Details
Once the portal opens, candidates will use their login credentials. They will then submit preferred colleges and courses. The order of these preferences is critical for seat assignment. The KEA allows multiple choices. Applicants should prioritize their selections carefully.
Mock Allotment and First Round
After the choice filling window closes, KEA will conduct a mock allotment. This allows students to review their potential seat assignments. Following the mock round, the first round of official seat allotment will occur. This allocation considers candidate ranks and reservation criteria.
Candidates can modify their choices after the mock allotment. This step is important before the final seat allocation. The official website will provide instructions for modifications.
Verification Slip Issued
KEA has already released the UGCET 2026 verification slip . This document is mandatory for counselling participation. It contains essential candidate details and a QR code. Applicants must download and verify this slip. It should be ready before the choice filling portal becomes active.
Students should regularly check cetonline.karnataka.gov.in for updates. The exact release date for the counselling schedule has not been announced. Prompt action is advised once the schedule is published.
