Important Instructions
- Download the matrix from the official site only. Use the PGCET 2026 section of the KEA portal. The Round 2 matrix should show only seats left vacant after Round 1, so earlier matrices no longer apply.
- The provisional matrix can change. Draft and provisional matrices are for reference, and KEA fixes the final one before allotment. Report any discrepancies within the objection window.
- Re-do your option entry. Edit or re-enter your web options against the Round 2 seat matrix. Put the most preferred college and course first, and drop options that were taken in Round 1.
- Decide how to treat your Round 1 seat. Confirm whether you want to keep it, upgrade or give it up, because the choice affects your Round 2 eligibility and any fee refund or forfeiture. Check the notice’s rules before you decide.
- Keep dates and documents ready. Note the option-entry deadline, the mock and provisional allotment dates, and the fee payment and reporting dates. Keep your original certificates, such as rank card, category and Kannada/rural claims if any, and fee receipts, ready for verification.
