What is the Purpose of Mock Allotment?

KCET mock seat allotment is an indicative seat allotment status which works as a trial based on candidates' initial KCET 2026 option entry, merit rank, and reservation category. However, it is not a final seat confirmation and candidates cannot report to colleges or claim admission based on this mock result sheet.

Thousands of students change their preferences after the mock seat allotment is declared meaning cutoffs may shift significantly before the final list is prepared. Candidates who miss the initial option entry window can register and participate now by paying a non-refundable fee of INR 750.
