Karnataka PGCET 2026 Round 1 Mock Seat Allotment Result Released

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the Karnataka PGCET 2026 Round 1 mock seat allotment result for candidates seeking admission to postgraduate programmes such as MBA, MCA and M.E./M.Tech.

The mock allotment has been published after the completion of the first-round option-entry process, allowing candidates to see the indicative seat they may receive based on their preferences.

Candidates who participated in the Karnataka PGCET counselling process can check their mock allotment status through the official KEA portal by entering their CET number and date of birth. The mock result is only an indication and does not confirm admission to any college or course.

Karnataka PGCET 2026 Mock Allotment: Latest Update

The mock allotment gives candidates an opportunity to review how their current preference order may affect seat allocation. Candidates who are not satisfied with the indicative allotment can add, delete, change or reorder their college and course preferences during the permitted modification period.

The option modification facility will remain open until September 22, 2026, at 11 AM. KEA has advised candidates to carefully review their entered choices before the deadline.

Candidates should follow the latest KEA counselling schedule for the final sequence of allotment-related activities.

Karnataka PGCET Mock Seat Allotment 2026: Important Details

The Karnataka PGCET mock allotment is not a real seat allotment. Candidates do not have to report to a college on the basis of the mock result, and colleges will not admit students using the mock allotment.

KEA has also provided candidates with access to college-wise, course-wise and category-wise cut-off information associated with the mock allotment. Candidates can use these details while reviewing their preference lists.

Candidates who have not entered their options for the mock allotment can still participate by registering and paying the non-refundable fee of ₹750, subject to the applicable counselling conditions.

Karnataka PGCET 2026 Option Entry Modification

After checking the mock allotment, candidates can reconsider their choices before the option-edit deadline. They may add colleges or courses in which they are genuinely interested, remove options they no longer prefer, or change the priority order.

KEA has advised candidates to verify college addresses before finalising their choices. Once the prescribed deadline expires, further changes to the option list will not be permitted.

Karnataka PGCET 2026 Real Seat Allotment

The mock allotment should not be confused with the actual Round 1 seat allotment. The real allotment will be generated after the option-modification facility closes and will depend on factors including the candidate's rank, preferences, available seats and applicable reservation and eligibility conditions.

Candidates should therefore use the mock result only as an aid for reviewing their choices and should wait for the actual allotment result before taking admission-related action.

Karnataka PGCET 2026: What Candidates Should Do Next?

Candidates should use the mock allotment to review their choices rather than treating the result as confirmation of admission. Those who want to modify their preference list must complete the changes within the prescribed deadline.

The Karnataka PGCET 2026 Round 1 mock seat allotment result is now available, and the next important step is the actual Round 1 seat allotment. Candidates should regularly check the official KEA portal for the latest allotment schedule, admission instructions and subsequent counselling updates.
