KCET 2026 Seat Allotment Process

To participate in the KCET seat allotment process, candidates must know the complete information about the seat allotment rounds. Only the candidates who have been invited for the KCET counselling 2026 can proceed with the seat allotment. Check below to get a fair idea about the seat allotment rounds:  

First Round of KCET Seat Allotment:

The seat allotment for the first round will be conducted after the last date for option entry is over. The seats will be allotted to the candidates on the basis of their merit, options the candidates entered and finally the Government’s Reservation Policy. The seat allotment procedure will commence with the allotment of seats to the candidates belonging to the special categories (Sports Category, NCC and PwD).

Second Round of KCET Seat Allotment:

The seat allotment for the second round will be held for the unfilled/ surrendered/ cancelled/ fortified or newly added candidates. The same process of seat allotment will be followed as was followed in the first round. Candidates will be provided with similar choices for confirmation or rejection of seats. And all those candidates who have opted for Choice 2 and 3 in the first round will also be eligible for admission.

Second Extended Round of KCET Seat Allotment:

In this round of the seat allotment process, candidates will be allotted seats on the same basis as in previous rounds. This round of the seat allotment process is for the candidates who are looking for a better seat than the seat allotted in earlier rounds.

What to do after KCET 2026 Seat Allotment?

After the completion of the seat allotment process, the candidates will be provided with four choices. The choices offered to the candidates post-seat allotment process are explained in detail:

Choice 1: The candidate is satisfied with the seats allocated to him/her and he/she does not want to participate in the further seat allotment rounds. The willing candidate has to pay the requisite fee, download the admission order and report at the Institute/College where he/she has been allocated a seat. Finally, the candidate will be required to report back to KEA confirming the joining in the college/Institute failing to do so will lead to the cancellation of the seat assigned to him/her. Even if the candidate has completed all the steps and yet cannot report to the allocated college, his/her admission will be cancelled and will not be eligible for seat allotment in the following rounds. It will also lead to the forfeiture of the fee paid by the candidate and such seats will be thrown back to the pool.

Choice 2: The candidate is satisfied with the seat allocated to him/her but wants to participate in the subsequent seat allotment rounds. In this case, if the candidate is allotted a higher option, then the previous lower option gets cancelled automatically. If the candidate is not offered a higher option, then the seat allocated earlier to the candidate remains as it is.

Choice 3:  The candidate is not satisfied with the seat allocated to him/her and wants to participate in the subsequent round of the seat allotment process. The candidate has to surrender the seat allotted to him/her and have to re-enter the already-entered options.

Choice 4: The candidate is not satisfied with the seat allocated to him/her and the candidate wants to withdraw completely from the subsequent seat allotment rounds. In this case, the seat allotted to the candidate will be cancelled and he/she will not be able to participate in the further rounds of the seat allotment procedure.

Note: In case the candidates fail to opt for any of the above-mentioned choices, the candidature of such candidates will be cancelled automatically and will not be considered for further seat allotment rounds (If any).

KCET Seat Allotment 2026 - Supernumerary Quota

KCET supernumerary quota seats are reserved for all the engineering colleges. 5% of the seats in every college and in each course are reserved under supernumerary quota. For instance if there are 120 seats in Computer Science in a specific college, and the supernumerary quota for Computer Science in that college will be 6 seats. Therefore, the total intake in that institute for computer science will be 126. Candidates allotted supernumerary quota in KCET seat allotment 2026 don’t have to pay the tuition fee prescribed by the Government in that college because it will be waived off. The candidate must pay the other fees only. 

Candidates will be allocated KCET supernumerary quota seats in the following manner : 

• Candidates can apply for KCET supernumerary quota seats while participating in the KCET seat allotment process 

• There is no requirement to give separate options for Supernumerary quota seats 

• KCET supernumerary seats will be allotted in the order of merit and options provided by the candidates 

• While allotting the seats the software will consider Supernumerary quota seats first for allotment if seats are available 

• The software is designed in such a manner that while considering the options provided by the candidates for KCET seat allotment 2026, the priority in engineering options will be considered first against the supernumerary quota seats
