The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) is set to commence the KCET 2026 counselling web option entry process from today, June 13. This stage is crucial for candidates seeking admission to engineering, architecture, pharmacy, and other professional courses across Karnataka.
Option Entry Process
Through the counselling process, candidates can select and prioritize colleges and courses according to their preferences. Seat allotment will be determined based on KCET rank, category-wise reservation, seat availability, and the order of choices entered.
Verification Slip
The web option entry follows the release of the KCET 2026 verification slip on the official website. Candidates who completed document verification can download the slip from cetonline.karnataka.gov.in using their registration number, password, and captcha code.
The verification slip confirms that personal details, academic records, category claims, and reservation details have been verified. It includes the CET number, course applied, verification status, QR code, and secret key required during counselling.
Counselling Schedule
- Start of web option entry: June 13, 2026
- Release of seat matrix and previous year's cut-off reference: June 13, 2026

Candidates should regularly check the official website for updates on the counselling schedule and seat allotment.
Important Guidelines for Choice Filling
Enter as many college and course options as possible to improve seat chances. Review all choices carefully before saving and locking them. After the mock allotment result, assess your chances and modify preferences if allowed by KEA.
Ensure document verification is completed before participating in web option entry.
