The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially released the final seat allotment list for Round 2 of the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2026, bringing an end to the anticipation felt by engineering aspirants. This announcement marks a crucial phase in the counselling process, where candidates must now decide whether to accept their allocated seats or withdraw from the counselling altogether. The results were made available on the KEA's official website, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in, following the resolution of grievances submitted during a provisional objection window that closed at 4:00 PM on August 24, 2026.
Candidates who participated in the second round of the Karnataka Undergraduate Common Entrance Test (UGCET) counselling can log in to the portal to check their final allotment status. To access their course and college allocations, students are required to navigate to the admissions section of the KEA website and select the updated Round 2 allocation tab. By entering their Karnataka CET application number and date of birth, they can view their individual scorecards and official allotment letters.
With the final allotment list now published, students are obligated to adhere to KEA's specific choice-selection protocols. Unlike the initial phase of counselling, Choices 2 and 3 have been disabled for this round. Candidates are presented with two options: Choice 1, for those who are satisfied with their allotted seat, requires them to pay the online tuition fee, download the verification slip, and report physically to the college. Choice 4 is for those who are dissatisfied with their allocation, indicating a complete withdrawal from the remaining counselling cycles.
For candidates opting for Choice 1, it is essential to bring original documents, including the initial KEA verification slip, the final allocation document, and academic certificates, to their respective campuses. It is crucial for students to submit their choices within the designated timeline, as failure to do so will result in the automatic cancellation of their seats.
As the counselling process progresses, students are encouraged to stay informed about any updates related to KCET. This includes information on exam results, important dates, admit cards, and other educational news pertinent to admissions, courses, and scholarships. The KEA remains a vital resource for candidates navigating their educational paths in Karnataka.
