Important Instructions
- Candidates should not report to the allotted college while a result is still marked "provisional" - only the final allotment is actionable for reporting, unless KEA instructs otherwise.
- Objections to a provisional allotment, if any, must be raised within the window specified by KEA in that round's notification, with proper justification.
- Candidates should not block an allotted seat without intending to join - KEA rules for recent cycles have penalised such conduct, including forfeiture of fees; candidates should refer to the current year's official penalty clause before making a decision.
- Keep checking the official KEA website regularly, as Round 3 dates, seat matrix and instructions are updated directly on the portal.
