How to Check Round 3 Provisional Allotment and Exercise Your Choice
- Visit the official KEA counselling portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
- Click on the link for the UGCET 2026 Round 3 provisional seat allotment result.
- Log in using your CET application number and the required credentials (date of birth or password, as prompted).
- Check your allotted college, course, and category status carefully.
- Select the choice option shown on your screen (Choice 1, Choice 4, or others, as applicable to your case).
- If accepting the seat, proceed to pay the applicable fee and download the admission order/challan.
- Take a printout or screenshot of your submitted choice and allotment details for your records.
Important Instructions
- Do not ignore the choice entry window - failing to exercise a choice within the stipulated time can lead to automatic cancellation of the allotted seat in several past KCET rounds.
- Round 3 is generally treated as a terminal round, and candidates may not get another opportunity to revise choices afterward - verify this specifically for the current cycle before deciding.
- Cancelling or surrendering a seat after later stages of counselling can attract a higher penalty fee.
- Keep your CET number, login credentials, and category certificates ready before starting the choice entry process.
- Regularly refresh the official KEA website, since counselling schedules and choice rules can be revised without much prior notice.
