Hi there,
Yes, your daughter is still allowed to go for the vacancy round in KCET counselling.
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) after the third round, typically holds a vacancy round, which is an extended or special round, to fill those seats that are left unallocated due to withdrawals or unreported admissions.
As her KCET rank is 34,000, she still has quite a good shot of attaining a seat, especially in private or newly established engineering colleges, or in branches that have lesser demand.
Just frequently visit the official KEA website for the latest updates about the vacancy or casual round schedule, and be all set with the documents so that she can participate at the earliest when the portal goes live.
Hope it helps!!!
Thank you.
