KCET 2026 Round 2 Final Allotment Brings Admission Deadlines
KEA has announced the final list of college seats for Round 2 of KCET counselling.
A provisional list was released first, and candidates could object to it.
The final list was prepared after those objections were considered.
Students can check their result on the official KEA website.
Students who want their assigned seat can choose Choice 1, pay the fee and join the college.
Students who do not want the seat can choose Choice 4 and leave the counselling process.
They must complete admission steps between August 25 and 27.
They must take admission by August 28.
Earlier information listed some later counselling activities in September, so candidates should follow the latest KEA instructions.
The Karnataka Examinations Authority released the KCET/UGCET 2026 Round 2 final seat allotment result after publishing a provisional list and considering objections.
Candidates can check their allotment through cetonline.karnataka.gov.in using their login credentials.
