Karnataka PGCET 2026: Final Extended Round Fee Payment and Reporting Deadlines Announced

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially released the mandatory schedule for candidates participating in the final extended round of the Karnataka PGCET 2026 counselling. This phase follows the seat allotment results published on November 6, 2026, which were conducted in compliance with a recent Supreme Court directive regarding MBA, MCA, and MTech admissions.

Candidates who have been successfully allotted seats in this final round are now required to complete the necessary admission formalities within the strict timelines set by the authority. Failure to adhere to these dates may result in the forfeiture of the allotted seat, as the KEA has emphasized the importance of following the prescribed schedule for fee payment and institutional reporting.

Key Deadlines for Karnataka PGCET 2026 Final Extended Round

According to the official notification, all candidates who received a seat allotment must complete their fee payment process by November 11, 2026. When calculating the total amount due, the authority will automatically deduct any caution deposit that the candidate may have paid during earlier stages of the counselling process. Once the payment is successfully processed, candidates are required to download their admission confirmation slip from the official KEA portal.

Following the payment deadline, the final step in the admission process is physical reporting to the allotted college. Candidates must report to their respective institutions no later than November 12, 2026, to finalize their enrollment. The KEA has clarified that this is the final stage of the counselling process, and there will be no further opportunities for choice entry or option modification for this academic cycle.

Admission Procedures and Official Guidelines

To facilitate the fee payment process, the KEA has provided a direct link on its official website, keaonline.karnataka.gov.in. Candidates are strongly advised to visit this portal to complete their transactions and secure their confirmation slips promptly. The authority has reiterated that these deadlines are final and that all applicants must ensure they complete the reporting process at their allotted colleges within the specified timeframe to confirm their admission.

For those seeking further clarification or detailed instructions regarding the admission formalities, the official guidelines are available on the KEA website at kea.kar.nic.in. Candidates should review these documents thoroughly to ensure they have all the required documentation ready for their visit to the allotted colleges on November 12, 2026.
