Why KCET Round 2 Seat Allotment Was Postponed
The KCET second round provisional seat allotment result was earlier proposed to be released on August 19 after 10 am. However, it has now been postponed due to the web option entry deadline being extended, giving candidates additional time to submit and finalize their preferences before the allotment is processed.
Candidates can access the round 2 web options page using their CET number and date of birth as login credentials.
KCET Round 2 Mock Allotment: What Candidates Should Know
KEA had earlier published the KCET 2nd round mock seat allotment results on August 17, 2026, for admission to engineering programmes. As per this mock list, the opening KCET rank for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programme was 285, while the closing rank was 280,600.
The Information Science and Engineering (ISE) course recorded the lowest closing rank among CSE, AI and ML, ECE, and EEE programmes, at 279,118. Notably, ISE also had the highest opening rank among these courses, at 2,820.
| Course | Opening Rank | Closing Rank |
| Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) | 285 | 280,600 |
| Information Science and Engineering (ISE) | 2,820 | 279,118 |
Candidates can use this mock allotment data as a reference while reviewing or revising their web options before the final round 2 result is prepared.
How Final KCET Round 2 Seat Allotment Will Be Prepared
The final seat allotment results will be prepared based on candidates' choices, their KCET rank, applicable reservation norms, and seat availability. This is the same method KEA has used in earlier rounds, ensuring the allocation process remains consistent throughout the counselling cycle.
What Candidates Should Do Now
With the round 2 web option entry window open till August 20, candidates who missed out on a seat in round 1 should use this time to carefully review their preferences, comparing them against the mock allotment ranks already published, rather than submitting their choices in haste.
Since the final allotment result will only be published after August 20, candidates are advised to keep checking the official KEA website, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in, for the confirmed release date and time, rather than relying on the earlier proposed schedule.
Why This Postponement Matters for Candidates
For candidates who missed a seat in round 1, this postponement effectively provides more time to finalize their web options thoughtfully, using the mock allotment trends as a guide. Given that closing ranks for popular courses like CSE and ISE can vary significantly, candidates are encouraged to review multiple course and college combinations rather than relying on a single preference.
Candidates should also keep in mind that mock allotment ranks are indicative and not final, actual round 2 cutoffs could shift once all web options are locked in and processed against the complete pool of applicants. Treating the mock data as a directional guide, rather than a guaranteed outcome, can help candidates set realistic expectations ahead of the confirmed result.
