KCET 2026 Round 3 final seat allotment is out, placing anxious candidates on the clock. Karnataka Examinations Authority has activated confirmation and fee payment, and the admission order is now downloadable. Candidates who delay risk cancellation. This update matters because colleges will enforce reporting deadlines tightly this week.
Key dates are immediate. Fee payment and admission order download run from September 8 to September 10, 2026. College reporting ends on September 11, 2026. KEA has warned that the final seat must be accepted, or a steep five‑times penalty applies under counselling rules.

Log in to the KEA portal, open your Round 3 result, and proceed to payment. Use the available online modes, wait for successful acknowledgment, then generate the fee receipt. Next, download the admission order and keep multiple printouts. Acceptance is compulsory in this round; non‑acceptance attracts penalty.
Report to the allotted college by September 11 with originals and copies. Carry the admission order, fee receipt, KCET verification slip, application printout, Class 10 and 12 marks cards, photo identity, study certificates, and valid reservation, income, rural or Kannada‑medium certificates, if claimed. Missing documents can void admission at the counter.
Candidates not allotted now should monitor KEA updates, as a special round may be held if seats remain. Those unwilling to join must follow the portal’s cancellation instructions within the notified window; penalties may apply. Non‑reporting by the deadline triggers automatic cancellation by colleges.
If payment is deducted but no receipt appears, or login locks, contact the KEA helpdesk. Use the official email and helpline, share CET number, timestamp, and transaction ID, and request revalidation. KEA lists keauthority‑[email protected] and 080‑23460460 for assistance during working hours.
Act quickly: complete fee payment by September 10 and report by September 11, 2026. Recheck personal details, upload errors, and category claims before visiting the college. Keep originals and two photocopy sets ready. If stuck, contact KEA immediately and follow the admission order’s instructions without delay.
