Fees

- Candidates should check the official portal for category-wise fee details and accepted payment methods.
- Allotted candidates may also be required to pay an admission or seat-confirmation fee within the prescribed deadline.
Selection Process
- PGCET merit or valid qualifying score: Candidates are considered on the basis of their Karnataka PGCET rank or another accepted score, where applicable under the admission rules.
- Counselling and option entry: Eligible candidates complete document verification and submit their preferred colleges, courses and branches through the online counselling portal.
- Seat allotment and confirmation: KEA processes mock and final allotments based on rank, reservation, seat availability and entered preferences. Candidates must then select the permitted admission option, pay the required fee and report as instructed.
The mock allotment is indicative and not a final admission order. It allows candidates to understand how their current preference list may translate into a seat before the final allotment is processed.
How to Apply
- Visit the official KEA portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
- Open the Karnataka PGCET 2026 counselling or admissions section displayed on the homepage.

- Enter the required credentials, such as the PGCET number, application number or other login details, if prompted.
- Review the programme, college, category and seat information shown in the mock allotment result.
- Download the relevant cut-off rank PDF or view the closing ranks online. Candidates should compare the listed ranks with their own merit position and reservation category.
- If KEA opens an option-editing window, rearrange, add or delete preferences carefully before the announced deadline. Place the most preferred college and course at the top.
- Save the updated choices and retain a printout or screenshot of the submitted options for reference.
- Monitor the portal for the final seat allotment, fee-payment schedule, admission order and college-reporting instructions.
Candidates should not treat the mock result as a guaranteed seat. Allotment may change after other applicants revise their options and KEA processes the final seat matrix.
