Hello Aspirant,

Yes, if you did not receive a seat allotment in the KCET first round of counseling, you are still eligible to appear for the second round. You have the option of modifying, changing order, erase or to add some college/course options during the second round option entry window. Please check the official KEA schedule for date of 2nd round option entry.

Both KLE Technological University and GIT Belgaum are reputed engineering colleges in North Karnataka.

• KLE Technological University, Hubli: Known for better infrastructure, innovation labs, and startup ecosystem. Industry tie-ups are increasing, and it's slowly gaining national recognition.
• GIT Belgaum: Has strong alumni network and consistent placement support, especially in traditional engineering branches like Mechanical, Civil, and CS.

With 26,315 KCET rank in GM, you may have a better chance at GIT Belgaum, but KLE (lower branches like Civil/Mech) may also be possible in later rounds.

Keep checking the official KEA website and be flexible with your choice of branch.

All the best,

Thank you.

Hello Aspirant,

In case you have not been assigned a seat in the first round of KCET counselling and have joined another college but are now thinking of leaving that college, you should still be able to participate in the next round of KCET. You will not have to do anything to withdraw from KCET counselling, and can also wait for the next round(whenever that is). However, to leave the college you have joined, however, you will need to follow that college's withdrawal procedure (which will generally be that you have to submit a formal application, and pay a fee, if any). Make sure you go through that college's refund policy before you withdraw.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, a General Merit (GM) student should think about attending the 2nd extended round of KCET counselling. Although the seat matrix may reflect "No GM seats" initially, there may still be openings due to withdrawals, non-reporting by allotted candidates, or upgrades from earlier rounds. All vacated seats were renewed, not currently being used by candidates, and some of these openings can be again filled under GM category. Many students have gained good seats in this round by attending 2nd extended counselling, although the first matrix indicated "zero".

Yes, you can be eligible for the KCET exam even if you studied your 11th and 12th (Intermediate) in Andhra Pradesh, provided you meet certain domicile/residency criteria of Karnataka.

Since you completed your schooling up to 10th standard in Karnataka and are a Karnataka domicile, you may be eligible under Clause (a) or (b) of KCET eligibility. These clauses usually include:

• You must have studied in Karnataka for at least 7 years including 10th.

• Or one of your parents must have studied in Karnataka for at least 7 years.

• Or your mother/father must be a Karnataka state government employee.

You will likely need to submit a domicile certificate or study certificate from Karnataka to support your claim.

When you get a college first allotment, you normally get about 5 to 7 days to confirm your admission and report to the college. Specific timeline varies with the counseling authority or rules of the universities, and therefore it is advisable to read the official allotment notice very well.

In case you are late, there are chances of having your seat cancelled and you may not even attend the subsequent rounds. Therefore, do not take too much time to complete the process and always visit the official website to get registered.
