The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) is set to release the Karnataka PGCET 2026 Round 1 provisional seat allotment results today, September 22, 2026. Candidates seeking admission to MBA, MCA, M.E., M.Tech, and M.Arch programmes through the Post Graduate Common Entrance Test can check the provisional list on the official websites — cetonline.karnataka.gov.in or kea.kar.nic.in — using their PGCET/CET number and login credentials.
KEA had earlier released the provisional seat matrix covering over 33,000 seats (including around 19,934 MBA seats) and conducted a mock seat allotment (released around September 17–19, 2026). The option modification window remained open until 11:00 AM on September 22, allowing candidates to add, delete, reorder, or modify their college and course preferences based on the mock results and cut-offs. After the freeze of options, the authority is proceeding with the actual Round 1 provisional allotment.
Candidates who receive a seat in the provisional list will need to exercise choices (Choice 1 – accept and freeze, Choice 2 – accept with option for betterment in next round, or other available options), pay the prescribed fees, download the confirmation slip, and report to the allotted college with original documents within the stipulated deadlines (typically within a few days of the final allotment). The final Round 1 allotment and subsequent reporting schedule will be confirmed by KEA shortly.
Students are advised to keep their login credentials ready, regularly check the official KEA portal for updates, and avoid unofficial sources. Helpline support is available via the KEA contact details listed on the website. Further rounds of counselling will follow for remaining seats.
