Karnataka PGCET Counselling Dates 2026 Soon at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in

Karnataka PGCET Counselling Dates 2026 are awaited at KEA website, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea. Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) will conduct the KEA PGCET 2026 counselling for candidates who have secured a rank in the state level exam. The Karnataka PGCET 2026 result was declared on August 19, 2026. In the past KEA has been seen to start the Karnataka PGCET counselling four to seven weeks after the PGCET results are declared. However, candidates can expect a much sooner date this time as document verification and medical verification for ex-defence quota and PwD candidates have already been conducted.

What to Expect from Karnataka PGCET Counselling 2026?

KEA PGCET counselling process includes seat matrix publication, option entry, seat allotment, choice filling, fee payment and reporting at the allotted college. Candidates who complete the required verification are marked eligible for the option entry process. As per the expected timeline, the Karnataka PGCET claim slip is expected to be released in September 2026, while the seat matrix is expected to be published in late August or September.

In 2024, option entry began on October 30 after the September 28 result, while in 2025, it started on September 24 after the August 7 result. However, the actual 2026 dates will be notified on KEA's official website. KEA may or may not conduct PGCET counselling much earlier, considering the result delays.
