Karnataka UGCET 2026 Round 2: Important Dates (Revised Schedule)

KEA has restricted Round 2 choice selection to only two options this year. Candidates allotted a seat must select one of the following before the deadline:

• Choice 1 - Accept the seat: The candidate accepts the allotted college and course, pays the seat acceptance fee, downloads the admission order, and reports physically to the college within the given deadline. Candidates selecting Choice 1 exit the counselling process and are not eligible for further rounds.
• Choice 4 - Reject and exit: The candidate does not accept the allotted seat and exits the KCET/ UGCET counselling process entirely. No fee payment is required for this option, but the candidate cannot participate in any subsequent round.

Candidates who wish to hold their Round 2 seat while still trying for an upgrade in a possible extended or mop-up round must check the official notification for the applicable seat-cancellation process, since Choice 2 (accept and upgrade) and Choice 3 (reject and upgrade) are not being offered in this round.

How to Complete Choice Selection and Check Karnataka UGCET 2026 Round 2 Status

1. Visit the official KEA counselling portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
2. Click on the link for "UGCET 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment Result" under the Latest Announcements section.
3. Log in using your CET application number and password or date of birth, as prompted.
4. View your allotted college, course, and category status on the result page.
5. Download and save the provisional/ final allotment letter.
6. Select Choice 1 (accept) or Choice 4 (exit) within the given deadline.
7. If Choice 1 is selected, proceed to pay the seat acceptance fee online and download the confirmation slip/ admission order.
8. Report physically to the allotted college with the required original documents before the reporting deadline.

What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?

Based on KEA's counselling rules applied in previous years, candidates who fail to exercise any choice within the stipulated date and time typically have their allotted seat cancelled automatically. Karnataka UGCET 2026 candidates are strongly advised not to wait until the last hour, since the portal often experiences heavy traffic close to deadlines. The exact 2026 penalty clause was not independently confirmed for this article; candidates should refer to the official notification on the KEA portal for the precise consequence of a missed deadline this year.

Important Instructions for Candidates

• Keep your CET application number, password, and registered mobile number handy, as these are required for login at every stage.
• Cross-check your allotted college and course carefully before making a final choice, since Choice 1 is generally treated as final once fee payment is completed.
• Save and print the admission order/ confirmation slip, as it is usually mandatory for physical reporting.
• Keep track of any further schedule revision by regularly checking the "Latest Announcements" section of cetonline.karnataka.gov.in, since KEA has revised the UGCET 2026 counselling schedule multiple times this year.
• For candidates considering a seat cancellation to try for a later round, verify the applicable cancellation fee and process directly from the official notification, as amounts can change between rounds.
