Why Is Karnataka PGCET Mock Allotment Delayed?
The Karnataka PGCET mock allotment delayed status is directly linked to the ongoing option entry phase of the Karnataka PGCET 2026 counselling. During the option entry window, candidates submit their preferred colleges and courses. The KEA uses these submitted preferences, alongside exam ranks and seat matrix parameters, to generate the mock results. Consequently, the mock seat allotment preparation can only begin after the option entry process officially closes.
