The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the provisional round 1 KCET 2026 seat allotment result for UGCET admissions to engineering and other professional courses. The result was announced on the night of 13 July 2026 and is now live on the official KEA counselling portal for candidates to check.
KCET 2026 seat allotment: What’s Out Now
This KCET 2026 seat allotment is provisional, not final. It has been prepared based on the choices candidates locked in up to 11:00 AM on 9 July 2026, matched against their KCET rank, category, and seat availability. This follows the mock allotment round, which KEA had released earlier on 6 July 2026 to help candidates preview likely allotments and adjust their preferences before the deadline.
Candidates who registered for KCET 2026 counselling can now log in and view the college and course allotted to them under this round.
How to Check Your KCET 2026 seat allotment Result
To check the provisional KCET 2026 seat allotment, candidates should follow these steps:
- Visit the official KEA website at keaonline.karnataka.gov.in or cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
- Click on the link for the UGCET 2026 First Round Provisional Seat Allotment Result.
- Log in using your CET number and date of birth or other required credentials.
- Submit the details to view your allotted college, course, and category.
- Download and save the result for future reference and reporting.
Candidates are advised to keep their KCET verification slip handy, as it carries the correct CET number needed for login.
Objection Window and Next Steps
KEA has opened an objection window for candidates who spot discrepancies in their provisional allotment. Objections can be raised until 5 PM on 14 July 2026 by emailing keauthority-ka@nic.in. According to KEA, objections will only be entertained in specific situations — such as an error in the published allotment, or a case where an eligible candidate with valid options was not allotted any seat at all.
Candidates satisfied with their allotment can proceed to confirm their seat by paying the required fee and reporting to the allotted college as per KEA’s reporting schedule. Those unhappy with the outcome will get a chance to modify or reorder their options before the next round.
KCET 2026 Cut-Off and Final Allotment Date
KEA has not yet published round-wise cut-off ranks or marks for this round; these are typically released once each round of counselling concludes, and this article will be updated with verified cut-off figures as soon as KEA confirms them. What is confirmed is the timeline: after reviewing objections, KEA will finalise the results, and the final round 1 seat allotment for KCET 2026 is scheduled to be published on 15 July 2026.
Candidates are encouraged to keep checking the official KEA website regularly, since seat confirmation deadlines are strict — missing the reporting window can result in forfeiture of the allotted seat to another candidate in the next round.
