Admissions are open exclusively to candidates who meet the prescribed academic and entrance test benchmarks set by the KEA. Candidates should verify their qualifications before attempting the final verification stages.
The KEA counselling process is designed to allocate seats based on merit, category reservations, and candidate preferences. The system follows four structured stages:
Candidates log in to the portal to submit their preferred list of colleges and courses. These selections should be ordered in terms of actual priority, as the computer algorithm processes allocations from top to bottom.
The mock allotment represents a trial run. It uses real candidate data and options to show students where they stand. This step helps candidates understand their entry options and determine if they should modify their lists.
After the window for editing options closes, KEA releases the official Round 1 seat allotment. This seat is final for the round, and candidates must choose their decision path (Choice 1, 2, 3, or 4).
Candidates who accept their allotted seats must complete the online fee payment before the deadline of 25 September 2026 and physically report to their respective colleges with original documents.
Candidates can easily access their provisional allotment details by following these structured steps on the official portal:
Candidates who secure a seat in the final rounds must present original documents and self-attested photocopies during physical reporting at the allotted college. Keep these items ready in advance:
The mock seat allotment is strictly provisional. Candidates must realize that getting a seat in the mock round does not guarantee admission. The final allocation can change drastically based on how other candidates modify their preferences during the editing window.
Always complete your option modifications well before the closing date of 26 September 2026. Avoid waiting until the final hour, as heavy server traffic can lead to connection timeouts or failure to save option changes.
