PGCET (Karnataka) Counselling

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Karnataka PGCET draft seat matrix is released soon after the result declaration. The draft seat matrix indicates the total seats available at Karnataka PGCET participating colleges. These seats are submitted by the PGCET participating institutes to KEA to provide an idea before the counselling process begins.

Karnataka PGCET verification slip is downloadable from the official exam website. Candidates have to login to download the PGCET verification slip. PGCET verification slip is required during the counselling process. Candidates who have the Karnataka PGCET verification slip will be allowed to participate in the option entry process.

The process of counselling is conducted based on ranks, preferences of the candidates, and seats available in participating institutions during Karnataka PGCET (Post Graduate Common Entrance Test). It is done in a multi-round process. Registration and document verification followed by preference for colleges and courses is mandatory for candidates.

The Post Graduate Common Entrance Test determines the allocation of colleges based on one's exam rank, preferences, and availability of seats. After the announcement of results, one must participate in counseling. That means you choose colleges and courses according to your rank. Based on that, the system allocates a seat to you. This depends on the availability of seats in the preferred college and eligibility requirements. After college allocation, habitual document submission and fees payment must be done to complete the admission process.
