PGCET (Karnataka) Counselling

Before the first round of counselling starts, KEA conducts a mock allotment round to familiarise candidates with the Karnataka PGCET counselling process, including the release of mock allotment results, and mock round cutoffs.

Candidates will not get admission into Karnataka PGCET participating colleges based on the mock allotment results.

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.
