    Only candidates who will have a valid score in KCET 2026 will be eligible for KCET counselling.  Candidates will be updated here for the KCET counselling 2026. The Karnataka CET counselling process comprises document verification, registration, choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting to the institutes. Candidates can check the detailed step-by-step procedure for KCET counselling 2026 below:

    Step 1 - Document Verification and Registration- Candidates will have to get their documents verified at the specified centres. Candidates will be given a unique ID and password after successful verification.

    Step 2 - Choice Filling and Locking- Next, candidates will have to log in to the system using their User ID and password. After logging in, candidates will have to fill in their choices of institutes and courses. Candidates will be allowed to add, modify, and delete choices. Candidates must lock their choices before the last date; otherwise, the system will automatically lock the choices. No changes can be made to the choices after locking.

    Step 3 - Allotment of Seats- After this, the authorities will first release the mock seat allotment result of KCET. The mock allotment is conducted to let the candidates know their chances of admission based on their merit and preferred seats. The candidates will be able to change their choices after the mock allotment result is announced. Candidates will be able to check their allotment status in online mode by logging in using their CET number.

    Step 4 - Reporting at Allotted Institutes- The candidates who will be allotted seats will have to report to the allotted institute to confirm their seat and payment of admission fees.
