Why KEA Round 2 Allotment Date 2026 Shift?
The decision for the date shift is due to give candidates adequate time to adjust their options after checking their KCET round 2 mock seat allotment which was out on August 17, 2026. The process for KEA round 2 allotment date 2026 layout follows a chronological order:
-
Mock Matrix: KEA processed choice data locked by August 13 to release mock allocations on August 17.
-
Choice Refinement: The mock cutoffs allowed students to re-evaluate their chances of landing preferred campus branches.
-
System Processing: The actual seat assignment algorithm will run only after all student modifications are securely locked in the database.
Final Deadline for Options Entry
Candidates must track KCET option entry modification last date closely to ensure their changes are considered. The portal allows applicants to add new college choices, alter their preference hierarchy, or remove options until August 20, 2026, at 9:00 AM.

Candidates must save their finalized preference list on official KEA portal well before the portal freezes.
