KEA Declares KCET 2026 Round 3 Seat Allotment Results

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially released the seat allotment results for the third and final round of the 2026 Undergraduate Common Entrance Test (UGCET) counselling. Students who participated in this phase can now access their allotment status through the official KEA portal to determine their assigned seats for engineering, architecture, and pharmacy courses.

This announcement marks the conclusion of the seat distribution process for the current academic session. Following the closure of the web options entry window on September 3, 2026, the authority has processed the final allocations based on candidate preferences and merit. With the results now live, successful applicants are required to proceed with the necessary admission formalities to confirm their placements.

Steps to Access Allotment Results and Reporting Requirements

To view the final allotment status, candidates should visit the official KEA website at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. Upon navigating to the UGCET section, users can access the designated link for the Round 3 seat allotment results. Accessing the portal requires the candidate's application number and other necessary login credentials. Once logged in, students can view their status and download their official allotment letters, which are essential for the college reporting process.

As this is the final round of the counselling process, the KEA has emphasized the importance of adhering to the reporting schedule. The allotted seats are considered frozen, and candidates are expected to report to their respective colleges to finalize their admission. The authority has issued a strict advisory regarding the consequences of failing to report or attempting to cancel a seat after this stage. According to the official guidelines, such actions may result in significant penalties, including a fee equivalent to five times the standard amount.

Next Steps for Admitted Candidates

With the admission process nearing its conclusion, students are encouraged to complete their reporting formalities as soon as possible. The academic calendar is moving forward, with classes for the new session tentatively scheduled to commence by September 13, 2026. Timely completion of the college reporting process is vital for students to ensure their enrollment is secured before the start of the academic term.
