If you’re one of the thousands of aspiring MBA candidates in Karnataka, today’s date might just be the most important one on your calendar. The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has set November 13, 2025, up to 5:30 PM as the absolute final deadline for candidates allotted seats in Round 3 of PGCET 2025 counselling to report to their respective colleges. Miss this, and your hard-earned seat could slip away – no second chances!

This is the culmination of the PGCET 2025 counselling process, which has been a rollercoaster for over 28,000 postgraduate seats across MBA, MCA, M.E., M.Tech, and M.Arch programs in government, private, and university-affiliated institutions statewide. For MBA aspirants specifically, we’re talking about more than 13,000 coveted seats in top-tier B-schools that could launch your career in management. Whether you’re eyeing a spot in the bustling campuses of PES University, the innovation-driven halls of RV Institute of Management, or the engineering legacy of BMS College of Engineering, action is needed today.

Quick Recap: How We Got Here

The PGCET 2025 journey kicked off with the exam in June, results in August, and a multi-round counselling process that wrapped up Round 3’s final seat allotment on November 8. If you were lucky enough to snag a seat in this last round – after option entry from November 4-6 and provisional results on November 7 – congratulations! But the real work starts now: confirming your admission by physically reporting to the college with all required documents and fees.

Failure to report by the deadline means automatic cancellation, freeing up seats for any stray vacancy rounds (if applicable). With the academic year looming, don’t let a last-minute oversight derail your plans.

What You Need to Do TODAY

Time is ticking – here’s your step-by-step action plan:

1. Download Your Allotment Order Immediately
   Head to the official KEA portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.

• Log in using your CET number and date of birth.
• Navigate to the “PGCET 2025 Final Round Seat Allotment Result” section.
• Download and print your allotment letter – this is your golden ticket!
  Pro tip: Do this first thing to avoid any website glitches from last-minute traffic.

1. Gather Your Documents
   Colleges are strict about verification, so come prepared with originals and two sets of photocopies. Essential items include:

• PGCET 2025 Admit Card and Scorecard.
• Class 10 and 12 Mark Sheets and Certificates.
• Degree Mark Sheets (up to the latest semester).
• Transfer Certificate (TC) and Migration Certificate (if applicable).
• Caste/Category Certificate (if claiming reservation).
• Income Certificate for fee concessions.
• Recent Passport-Size Photos.
• Demand Draft or payment proof for the admission fee (varies by college – check your allotment order for specifics).

1. Pay the Fees and Report to College

• Most colleges accept fees via demand draft, online transfer, or cheque. Confirm the exact amount with your allotted institution (government seats are subsidized, while private ones range from ₹50,000–₹2 lakhs annually).
• Report in person by 5:30 PM today. Virtual reporting isn’t an option – they need to verify you on-site.
• Once done, you’ll receive a confirmation slip and can breathe easy knowing your spot is secured.

If you’re facing any hurdles (like travel delays or document issues), contact your college’s admission helpline ASAP or reach out to KEA’s support at 080-23460460.
