Karnataka PGCET 2026 Round 1 Allotment Result Out; Raise Objections by September 24

A total of 33,809 seats are included in this round's provisional seat matrix. The provisional allotment follows the completion of the first round option entry process, which itself came after KEA had earlier released a mock allotment, allowing candidates to modify, reorder or add their preferred courses and colleges before the option entry window closed.

Here is a quick summary of the round 1 status:

• KEA first issued the provisional allotment press note on September 23, 2026.
• The online result link went live the same day.
• Candidates need their PGCET number to check their status.
• The allotment is based on merit, reservation rules, seat availability and the priority of options entered during counselling.

This is only the provisional result, not the final round 1 seat confirmation. Candidates should check all details carefully but wait for KEA's instructions before taking any further admission step.

Candidates can use the Karnataka PGCET 2026 round 1 seat allotment link by following these steps:

• Visit cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea/pgcet2026.
• Enter your PGCET number to log in.
• Check your allotted college, course and category.
• Download the provisional allotment result for your records.

As per the Karnataka PGCET 2026 round 1 seat allotment date, candidates who spot an error can raise an objection by 4 PM on September 24, 2026. A few points to keep in mind:

• Objections must be submitted with proper justification, particularly for issues like cutoff mismatches or entered options with no seat allotted.
• No changes to choice entries are permitted at this stage.
• Objections from candidates who did not register for the seat allotment process will not be entertained.
• KEA will verify valid objections before finalising the round 1 result.

Once objections are reviewed, KEA will publish the final round 1 seat allotment along with course wise cutoff lists. Candidates allotted a seat in the final result will then receive further instructions on reporting, document verification and admission formalities at their allotted institute.

Since this stage only reflects the provisional round 1 status, candidates are advised to keep checking the official KEA website regularly for the final allotment announcement and next steps in Karnataka PGCET Counselling 2026, rather than relying on unofficial sources for updates.
