Karnataka PGCET counselling is administered after the declaration of results. Prediction based on past four years of admission sessions is not possible as the gap between the result date and the start of counselling has varied significantly. In 2024, Karnataka PGCET counselling began 41 days after the results, while in 2023, the gap was 13 days. The 2022 session saw a shorter gap of five days, and in 2021 the interval between PGCET result and counselling was 16 days. 

Considering the past pattern, with Karnataka PGCET 2025 results announced on August 7, counselling should have started in the third or fourth week of August 2025. KEA will soon release the Karnataka PGCET 2025 counselling schedule for the mock round and first round allotment.

In case the timeline from 2024 is followed, Karnataka PGCET 2025 counselling will start in the upcoming week.
