What Is the Karnataka DCET Mock Seat Allotment?
The mock allotment is a trial seat allocation. It is generated using the options candidates have entered, their merit rank, reservation category, and current seat availability. It is not the final allotment and does not confirm admission to any college. Its purpose is to let candidates see where they currently stand so they can revise their preferences before the option modification window closes.
