Karnataka PGCET seat allotment results 2026 will be released by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) through its official website. The allotment is part of the centralised counselling process for MBA, MCA, ME, MTech and MArch admissions.
Candidates can check their allotment status using their PGCET number and other login details. KEA will publish the result in more than one round. It will also release the course-wise, college-wise and category-wise cutoff ranks with the allotment result.
Keep your login details ready before the result is released. Websites can become slow when thousands of students try to check their results at the same time. The internet may also choose that exact moment to take a tea break.

How Karnataka PGCET Seat Allotment Works
KEA prepares a seat matrix for each course, college and category. Candidates enter their preferred colleges and courses during the option entry period. After the window closes, KEA allots seats based on merit, rank, option priority, seat availability and reservation rules.
The allotment process is carried out for different courses. The order includes:
- ME, MTech and MArch
- MCA
- MBA
For ME, MTech and MArch admissions, eligible GATE candidates receive preference as per the admission rules. Karnataka and non-Karnataka candidates are considered under the applicable categories. Reservation benefits apply as stated in the KEA guidelines.
For MCA and MBA admissions, eligible candidates from the listed categories are considered based on their PGCET rank, options and available seats. Candidates who appear in more than one eligible course may be considered under the rules set by KEA.
Karnataka PGCET Mock Seat Allotment 2026
The mock allotment gives candidates an idea of the seat they may receive based on their current options. It is not the final allotment. KEA opens an option editing window after the mock result.
During this period, candidates may be able to:
- Reorder college and course preferences
- Add new options
- Delete unwanted options
- Review the effect of their preference order
A change made after the mock allotment can affect the final seat. The seat shown in the mock result is not guaranteed. Candidates should check that every preference is entered in the correct order and that no duplicate college-course choice appears in the list.
What Happens After the First Allotment?
After the first round result, candidates with an allotment must select the choice shown on the KEA portal within the given deadline. The available choices may include accepting the seat, accepting it while seeking a better option, or declining it. The exact choices and rules can vary, so read the instructions shown in the candidate dashboard.
Candidates who accept a seat may need to pay the prescribed fee and download the admission documents. Those asked to report must visit the allotted college before the last date. Missing the deadline can lead to the cancellation of the allotment.
Second Karnataka PGCET Seat Allotment 2026
KEA may conduct a second or final allotment round to fill seats left vacant after the first round. Candidates may receive another chance to edit their options, subject to the official schedule.
The steps to check the second round result remain the same. Open the KEA website, enter the login details, view the allotment and follow the fee payment and reporting instructions. The cutoff ranks may change from one round to another because seat availability and candidate choices also change.
Karnataka PGCET Cutoff Ranks
KEA releases cutoff ranks along with the seat allotment results. A cutoff rank shows the last rank at which a seat was allotted for a specific college, course and category in that round.
The cutoff list is different from an individual allotment result. The cutoff list gives closing ranks, while the login dashboard shows the seat allotted to a particular candidate. Compare both details before making a decision.
