Karnataka UGCET 2026 Round 2 Revised Schedule Released at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in

Overview

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the revised schedule for Karnataka UGCET 2026 Round 2 counselling and seat allotment. The update is intended for eligible candidates seeking admission to undergraduate professional courses through KCET; this is an admission process, so no fixed number of posts or vacancies applies.

Candidates should check the revised notification and their counselling dashboard at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in for the exact option-entry, allotment and reporting deadlines. Previously registered candidates must complete each activity within the revised timeline to remain eligible for allotment.

Key Highlights

Important Dates

The detailed dates were not included in the available notification summary. Applicants should use the revised schedule published on the KEA portal as the final reference, as counselling deadlines may be changed or extended.

Round 2 candidates should separately verify the dates for option entry or modification, provisional allotment, final allotment, fee payment, choice selection and reporting to the allotted institution.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

• Candidates should have passed or appeared in the second Pre-University Course, Class 12 or an equivalent examination from a recognised board.
• The required subjects and minimum marks differ by course. Engineering applicants generally need Physics and Mathematics with an eligible optional subject, while other programmes may have separate subject combinations.
• Candidates must have appeared in Karnataka UGCET 2026 and obtained a valid rank wherever a UGCET rank is required.
• Only candidates permitted under the KEA counselling rules may participate in Round 2. Those who accepted, cancelled or surrendered a seat must check their specific eligibility before entering options.

• Candidates allotted a seat must pay the prescribed admission or tuition fee within the revised deadline.
• Fee amounts vary according to the course, institution, seat category and reservation status.
