Overview
The Karnataka PGCET 2026 mock allotment result has been released online by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) for candidates participating in postgraduate admission counselling. Applicants can log in at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in to check their provisional seat allocation and review their option-entry preferences. As this is an admission process rather than recruitment, no post or vacancy count applies; seats are offered course-wise and institution-wise.

Candidates should regularly monitor the counselling portal for the schedule covering option modification, final allotment, fee payment and reporting to the allotted institution. Deadlines may differ between counselling rounds, and failure to complete an activity within the prescribed period can affect admission eligibility.
Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
- Candidates must hold a recognised bachelor’s degree relevant to the postgraduate programme for which admission is sought.
- Applicants for MBA, MCA, ME, MTech, MArch or other participating programmes must meet the programme-specific academic requirements prescribed by KEA and the respective university.
- Candidates must have qualified Karnataka PGCET 2026, where applicable, and obtained a valid rank for participation in counselling.
- Applicants using another accepted entrance examination score must satisfy the conditions stated in the official admission bulletin.
- Required marks, subject combinations, domicile conditions and reservation requirements may vary by programme and candidate category.
- Original certificates must be produced during document verification or institutional reporting. A provisional allotment does not validate an otherwise ineligible candidature.
Age Limit
- No general upper age limit has been specified for the counselling process.
- Candidates must fulfil any course-specific or university-level conditions applicable to their chosen programme.
- Eligibility will be determined using the official admission rules and documents submitted during verification.
Fees
- Application, counselling and admission fees depend on the programme, institution and candidate category.
- Candidates receiving a final allotment must pay the prescribed admission fee within the notified deadline.
- The mock allotment itself is provisional and does not require candidates to report to the institution unless separately instructed.
- Exact fee details should be verified through the candidate portal before making payment.
Selection Process
- Entrance Examination and Ranking: Candidates are considered based on their Karnataka PGCET 2026 performance, valid rank and applicable eligibility conditions.
- Document Verification and Option Entry: Eligible candidates complete verification and submit their preferred colleges and courses in the order of priority.
- Seat Allotment and Admission: KEA publishes mock and final allotment results based on rank, category, seat availability and entered preferences. Selected candidates must pay the fee and report as directed.
The mock allotment is intended to help candidates understand the likely outcome of their current preferences. It is not a final admission order and may change after candidates modify options or after KEA processes the final allotment.
