KEA Extends DCET 2026 First-Round Admission Deadlines for Candidates

The Karnataka Examinations Authority has given some DCET 2026 candidates more time to finish admission steps.

This applies to students who received a seat in the first-round allotment.

These students are joining engineering courses through lateral entry.

First, they must complete their choice entry online.

They must then download the challan and pay the required fee if they select Choice 1 or Choice 2.

They can download the confirmation slip until the evening of August 24.

They must report to their allotted college by the afternoon of August 25.

KEA says these deadlines will not be extended again.
