Important Instructions for Candidates
- Do not wait until the last moment to download the claim slip - download and verify it as soon as it becomes available in your login.

- Report any discrepancy in your recorded category or eligibility details to KEA promptly, following the process specified on the official website.
- Continue to check the official KEA PGCET website regularly, since the full counselling schedule (option entry, mock allotment, and seat allotment dates) has not yet been announced.
- Keep your application number, password, and registered mobile number (for OTP) ready, as these are required at multiple stages of the process.
