KCET 2025 Counselling Process
The KCET 2025 counselling process is being conducted entirely online. It includes multiple stages such as document verification, option entry, mock allotment, final seat allotment, and post-allotment reporting.
Candidates who have completed document verification at designated KEA centres will receive their verification slip and login credentials, which are mandatory for accessing the option entry portal. The final seat matrix, listing over 77,000 engineering seats and 3,350 agriculture seats, has been published online to assist students in making informed decisions.
Key steps in the counselling process include:
Document Verification: Candidates must report to assigned KEA centres with original documents and photocopies. A verification slip and secret key will be issued upon successful verification.
Option Entry: Using their credentials, candidates can access the counselling dashboard and fill in their course and college preferences. They are encouraged to review cutoff trends, college rankings, and placement statistics before locking their choices.
Mock Allotment: KEA will release a mock allotment list to give students a tentative idea of seat allocation, allowing them to revise preferences if needed.
Final Seat Allotment: After the final round of seat allocation, candidates must pay the prescribed fees and report to the allotted college within the stipulated time.
Reporting Options: Candidates can choose to accept, hold, reject, or withdraw the allotted seat during the post-allotment phase.
The KEA has emphasized the importance of timely participation and accurate option entry to maximize candidates’ chances of securing a seat in their desired course and college.
