Bengaluru, July 15, 2025 – The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially confirmed that the first round seat allotment results for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2025 will be announced on July 28, 2025, after 11:00 AM. The announcement will be made available on the official KEA website, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in, where candidates can check their allotment status using their CET number.

The KCET 2025 seat allotment process is a critical step for thousands of students aspiring to secure admission into undergraduate courses such as Engineering, Medical, Architecture, Agriculture, Veterinary, Pharmacy, and allied health sciences across Karnataka’s participating institutes. The first round of seat allotment will be based on candidates’ KCET ranks, their preferences submitted during the option entry process, and the availability of seats.

Key Details of KCET 2025 Seat Allotment

• Date of Announcement: July 28, 2025, after 11:00 AM
• Official Website: cetonline.karnataka.gov.in
• Access Requirement: Candidates must log in using their CET number to view their allotted course and institute.
• Basis of Allotment: The allotment is determined by candidates’ ranks, preferences filled during the option entry period (July 8 to July 18, 2025), and seat availability.
• Special Categories: Seats reserved for special categories, such as physically disabled, NCC, and sports, will be allocated first, followed by general category candidates.
• Supernumerary Quota: A 5% supernumerary quota is reserved in each college and course, with allotted candidates exempted from paying government-prescribed tuition fees.

Counselling Process and Next Steps

The KCET 2025 counselling process began with document verification, followed by the option entry phase, which concluded on July 18, 2025. A mock seat allotment result was released on July 21, 2025, allowing candidates to review and modify their preferences before the final allotment. Candidates who have completed document verification and downloaded their verification slip were eligible to participate in the option entry process.

After the announcement of the first round seat allotment, candidates will have the following options:

• Accept and Freeze: Confirm the allotted seat by paying the required fee and reporting to the allotted institute for admission.
• Accept and Float: Accept the allotted seat but remain eligible for better options in subsequent rounds without paying the fee until a final choice is made.
• Reject and Float: Reject the allotted seat and participate in the next round of counselling.
• Exit: Withdraw from the counselling process entirely.

Candidates must complete the fee payment and document verification at their allotted institutes by the specified deadline to secure their admission. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of their allotted seat.

Additional Rounds and Seat Matrix

Seats remaining vacant after the first round will be filled in the second round of KCET 2025 seat allotment, with specific reservations for categories such as SCG, STG, 1G, 2AG, 2BG, 3AG, 3BG, GMR, and GMK, as well as rural and Kannada medium quotas. If seats remain unfilled after the second round, KEA may conduct an extended or special round, depending on availability.

The KEA has also released the final seat matrix for KCET 2025, detailing the number of seats available across various courses and colleges. Candidates are advised to refer to the seat matrix on the official website to make informed choices during the counselling process.

Technical Challenges and Revised Schedule

The KCET 2025 counselling schedule was revised due to technical issues with the option entry portal, which caused delays for some candidates. The KEA extended the option entry deadline to July 18, 2025, to ensure a smooth process. The authority has since resolved these issues and urged candidates to regularly check the official website for updates.

Advice for Candidates

KEA advises candidates to carefully review their allotment details and ensure all required documents, including the KCET admission ticket, verification slip, mark sheets, and caste or income certificates, are ready for the admission process. Candidates can download their seat allotment letter from the KEA portal for future reference.

For further updates and detailed information, candidates are encouraged to visit cetonline.karnataka.gov.in or kea.kar.nic.in. The KEA has also emphasized the importance of adhering to deadlines to avoid forfeiture of allotted seats.
