Karnataka PGCET 2026 Mock Allotment Postponed Following Option Entry Extension

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially postponed the release of the Karnataka PGCET 2026 mock seat allotment results. The announcement, which was originally scheduled for September 17, has been delayed due to a further extension of the option entry window for candidates participating in the counselling process.

According to the latest update from the KEA, the deadline for candidates to submit and modify their preferred colleges and courses has been moved to September 18. As the mock allotment process relies on the final set of preferences submitted by applicants, the authority is unable to proceed with the publication of the results until the current window for option entry officially concludes.

Impact of the Revised Counselling Schedule

The timeline for the Karnataka PGCET 2026 counselling has undergone several adjustments in recent days. Initially, the deadline for candidates to lock in their choices was set for September 15. This was subsequently extended to September 17, and now, with the latest directive, it has been pushed back once more to September 18. These revisions are intended to provide students with additional time to review and refine their selections before the mock allotment phase begins.

The KEA has not yet issued a specific date for when the mock allotment results will be published following the new deadline. While it is possible that the results could be released shortly after the option entry window closes on September 18, candidates are advised to monitor the official KEA website for a formal notification regarding the revised schedule. The mock allotment serves as a critical indicator for students, providing them with an opportunity to understand their potential seat allocation based on their current preferences, exam ranks, and the available seat matrix.

Guidance for Candidates

Candidates who have not yet finalized their choices are encouraged to use this extended period to carefully review their preferred institutions and courses. Because the mock allotment results are generated based on the data submitted during this phase, ensuring that preferences are correctly ordered is essential for an accurate outcome. Once the option entry process is officially closed, the KEA will proceed with the necessary calculations to generate the mock results.

Students should continue to check the official portal regularly for updates on the release of the mock allotment and any further instructions regarding the subsequent stages of the admission process. No further details regarding the final seat allotment or subsequent counselling rounds have been provided at this time, as the authority remains focused on completing the current phase of the exercise.
