KCET 2026 Second Round of Counseling; Modify College Selections by August 20

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has activated the choice modification window for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2026 following the release of the Round 2 mock allotment results on August 17, 2026. Engineering and pharmacy aspirants now have until 9:00 AM on August 20 to finalize and lock their college preferences. This modification period allows students to add, delete, or rearrange their choices based on the mock allotment results.

The mock allotment serves as a preliminary guide for candidates, providing insights into their potential admission chances based on merit and previous choice trends. Students participating in the Round 2 counseling process for engineering, agriculture, architecture, and pharmacy courses can access their trial allocations online and make necessary adjustments until the deadline. It is crucial for candidates to remember that the mock results are not definitive and do not guarantee final admission to any institution.

As the deadline approaches, candidates are encouraged to carefully analyze the course-wise and college-wise mock cut-off ranks that KEA will publish alongside the mock results. This information is vital for making informed decisions regarding their college preferences. Students must ensure that any newly entered or modified choices are saved before the 9 AM cutoff on August 20, as preferences will be locked for processing the final Round 2 data thereafter.

To check their mock allotment status, students should visit the KEA website and navigate to the "UGCET 2026 - 2nd Round Mock Seat Allotment Result" tab. By entering their CET number and date of birth, they can view their mock status and access the option entry portal to make final adjustments to their college choices.

As the KCET 2026 Round 2 allotment date has been postponed, candidates are advised to stay updated on the latest developments regarding their admissions. The provisional allotment results will be announced following the closure of the modification window, ensuring that students are well-informed as they navigate this critical phase of their educational journey.
