FAQs on Karnataka PGCET Cutoff
Check some important FAQs related to Karnataka PGCET cutoff:
KEA is expected to declare the Karnataka PGCET results within a month of the exam date. Tentatively, the results and scorecards will be released by August 2026.
Soon after the Karnataka PGCET document verification, eligible candidates enter their preferred colleges and courses online. There is no limit to the number of options. Options recorded by the last day are frozen and considered for the final seat allotment.
The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) conducts the counselling online on its official website. It covers admissions to PG courses like MBA, MCA, MArch, and M.Tech for candidates who have passed the exam
The process includes document verification, option entry, mock seat allotment, modifying options, first-round seat allotment, choice filling, fee payment, and finally reporting to the allotted college with original documents.
After Karnataka PGCET seat allotment result is declared, candidates have four choices:
- Accept and Freeze
- Accept and Upgrade
- Reject and Slide
- Reject and Withdraw
These choices determine if they finalise the seat or seek other options
KEA allocates seats in two main allotment rounds based on candidate performance. If seats remain vacant after these rounds, an additional counselling round may be conducted to fill the remaining spots
Karnataka PGCET mock allotment familiarises candidates with potential course and college allocations based on ranks. It does not grant an actual seat but allows candidates to change their options before the real allotment.
