Karnataka PGCET 2026 Mock Seat Allotment Results Released; Option Editing Open Until September 22

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially released the mock seat allotment results for the Karnataka PGCET 2026. Candidates who have applied for admission into MBA, MCA, MTech, and ME programmes across the state can now access their trial allotment status through the official KEA website. This mock phase is designed to provide applicants with an indicative view of the course and institution they are currently positioned to secure based on their submitted preferences.

To view their results, candidates must log in to the official KEA portal using their PGCET application credentials. The authority has advised all applicants to use only the official domain, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea/, to verify their status and to remain cautious of any unauthorised third-party websites.

Option Modification and Next Steps

Following the publication of the mock allotment, the KEA has activated a facility allowing candidates to modify their previously entered options. This window provides an opportunity for students to add, delete, or rearrange their preferred colleges and courses based on the insights gained from the mock results. For those who did not receive their preferred placement, the authority suggests reviewing previous round cutoffs to better inform their decision-making process.

The deadline for completing these modifications is September 22, at 11 AM. It is essential for candidates to lock and submit their final choices before this cutoff time. The KEA has clarified that any options left unlocked after the deadline will be automatically saved based on the most recent entries made by the candidate.

Important Considerations for Candidates

It is important to note that the mock allotment result is strictly indicative and does not represent a final offer of admission. Because other applicants may also choose to alter their preferences during this editing window, the final seat allotment list may differ from the trial results. The mock allotment serves primarily as a tool to help students understand the seat allocation process and adjust their strategies accordingly.

The KEA will announce the schedule for the Karnataka PGCET 2026 Round 1 final seat allotment at a later date. Candidates are encouraged to monitor the official website regularly for further updates regarding the counselling process, document verification schedules, and subsequent admission notifications.
