KCET 2026 Round 2 result

Final result declared. The official portals to check it on, and what the choice in front of you commits you to.

In short

The Karnataka CET (UGCET) 2026 Round 2 final allotment result is declared. Check it on CAP, KEA’s Centralised Allotment Process — that is where your individual seat appears. The exam portal carries the notification and its PDFs. After the FINAL Round-2 result, UGCET allotees get CHOICE-1 or CHOICE-4 only — Choice-2 and Choice-3 are not offered in this round. Choice-1 candidates who pay and report may still join Round 3, subject to the conditions in the same notification. Checked against KEA’s portal on 23 September 2026.

Where the result publishes

Official destinations only. We do not host allotment results, and we will never ask for your CET number.

CAP is not the portal you applied on. Your application and fee were on cetonline.karnataka.gov.in; your allotment is on keaonline.karnataka.gov.in. They are separate systems, and only the second one shows your seat.

What happens next

  • Read the choice before you click it. After the FINAL Round-2 result, UGCET allotees get CHOICE-1 or CHOICE-4 only — Choice-2 and Choice-3 are not offered in this round. Choice-1 candidates who pay and report may still join Round 3, subject to the conditions in the same notification. Each choice decoded from KEA’s own brochure.
  • Waiting is usually safe, not always. Before you gamble on the next round, see how far each branch loosened between Round 1 and Round 2. Seats in the big general pools almost always loosened; small NRI, Others and niche courses are where waiting cost people their seat.
  • Know what cancelling costs before you treat exit as free — the forfeiture rules are a rule per situation, not one flat fee.
  • Judge the seat against the data, not against a feeling — 52,807 verified closing ranks show where this branch and category actually closed.

Where this exam stands

KCET (UGCET) 2026 — engineering & professional courses

Checked against KEA's UGCET 2026 portal on 23 September 2026. Stages link the official notification they were read from; dates always defer to the portal.

Add all 8 dated KCET 2026 stages to your calendar (.ics) — only stages with an exact notified time; each event names its notification and reminds you a day before it closes.

  1. DoneDocument verification notice — 4 May 2026 official source

  2. DoneResults declared — 6 June 2026 official source

    KEA’s rank-view link for UGCET-2026 no longer answers — it returned 404 when this site checked on 18 September 2026. The 6 June date is what KEA published on it; the link is kept rather than quietly dropped.

  3. DoneOption entry opened — 20 June 2026 official source

  4. DoneRound 1 allotment result — 13 July 2026 official source

  5. DoneRound 1 cut-offs published — 15 July 2026 official source

    The publication the 6,376 verified KCET 2026 closing ranks on this site are transcribed from.

  6. DoneVacant seat lists published — 7 August 2026 official source

  7. DoneRound-2 seat matrices published (engineering + pharmacy; medical/dental) — 7 August 2026 official source

  8. DoneRound-2 option entry / modification window — 7 Aug 4:00 PM → 13 Aug 9:00 AM official source

    Eligible candidates may add NEW options this round (pharmacy, medical and dental joined the same allotment). Log in to the Options Entry Portal at least once and SAVE — the brochure is explicit that never logging in means Round-1 options are NOT carried and you are excluded from Round-2 allotment. The window closed 9:00 AM, 13 August, as scheduled — no extension notice was on the portal when we re-read it that afternoon.

  9. DoneRound-1 seat cancellation (Choice-1/2 holders), in person at KEA — by 13 Aug 11:00 AM official source

    Penalty applies as per rules.

  10. DoneRound-2 MOCK allotment result (not the real allotment) — 17 August 2026, after 4:00 PM official source

    A rehearsal, explicitly. KEA’s notification says candidates CANNOT take admission on a mock-allotted seat, and that the seat shown here may or may not be the one the real allotment gives — precisely because options can still be changed until 20 August. College-wise, course-wise and category-wise cut-off ranks for this mock round were published alongside it.

  11. DoneOptions could be ADDED, REMOVED or REORDERED after the mock result — 17 Aug → 20 Aug 9:00 AM official source

    The window closed 9:00 AM, 20 August, as scheduled — both portals were re-read at 11:20 PM IST that night and carried no extension notice, nor anything dated 20 August at all. Until it closed, candidates who had seen where the mock landed them could add options, delete unwanted ones, change their order or modify them, and eligible candidates could enter medical and dental options. The real Round-2 allotment runs on whatever list stood at that deadline, NOT on the one the mock used.

  12. DoneRound-2 provisional allotment result (the real one) — 23 August 2026 official source

    Published 23 August under joint notice No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-04/2026, covering engineering, architecture, yoga & naturopathy, farm sciences, veterinary, B.Sc Nursing, B.Pharma, Pharm-D, BPT, BPO and allied health sciences. ⚠️ It is PROVISIONAL: KEA states a candidate must NOT report to the college shown on it, and options cannot be changed at this stage. After the final result, UGCET courses get CHOICE-1 or CHOICE-4 only — Choice-2 and Choice-3 are not available in Round 2. Choice-1 candidates who pay and report may still join Round 3 subject to conditions, per the same notification.

  13. DoneObjections on a specific Round-2 result — until 24 Aug 4:00 PM official source add to calendar

    Narrow, and worth reading precisely: an objection is for a candidate whose cut-off was checked and whose options were entered but who was allotted no seat. It goes to keauthority-ka@nic.in before 4:00 PM on 24 August. A seat missed because options were never entered is NOT grounds for one, and no objection reopens the option list.

  14. DoneFINAL Round-2 allotment result — 24 August 2026 official source

    KEA’s 27 August note states the final Round-2 result was announced on 24 August 2026 — engineering, architecture, yoga & naturopathy, farm sciences, veterinary, B.Sc Nursing, B.Pharma, Pharm-D, BPT, BPO and allied health sciences. ⚠️ This stage carried an undated placeholder for six days after the result had in fact published — the same hand-set-staleness failure the note above this list describes, arriving from the other direction.

  15. DoneChoice selection on the final Round-2 result — until 29 Aug 11:59 PM official source add to calendar

    Extended to 11:59 PM on 29 August by the 27 August note. UGCET courses get CHOICE-1 or CHOICE-4 only in Round 2 — Choice-2 and Choice-3 are not offered.

  16. DoneFee payment by Choice-1, and download of the Seat Confirmation Slip — until 31 Aug 2:00 PM official source add to calendar

    Payment must be made DURING BANKING HOURS — the note prints that in red, and a 2:00 PM cut-off is not a full working day. Only Choice-1 candidates pay at this stage, and only they download the Seat Confirmation Slip.

  17. DoneReporting at the allotted college with the Seat Confirmation Slip — until 31 Aug 6:00 PM official source add to calendar

    Choice-1 candidates only, carrying the Seat Confirmation Slip. KEA has directed every participating college to treat Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays as working days for this window.

  18. DoneRound-3 vacant seats published — the pool options are entered against — 31 August 2026 official source

    KEA’s own heading calls this the “Third Round UnAllotted & Cancelled Provisional Seat Matrix as on 31-08-2026” — 29,236 seats across 242 colleges — seats nobody holds going into Round 3, including seats given up by candidates who cancelled. This is the list to build a Round-3 preference order against, and it is NOT the 7 August vacancy list further up this page, which was the pool for Round 2.

  19. DoneRound-3 option entry — options must be entered AFRESH — not allotted in R2: 31 Aug 6:00 PM → 3 Sep 6:00 PM · joined and seeking an upgrade: 2 Sep 11:00 AM → 3 Sep 6:00 PM official source add to calendar

    ⚠️ Options entered in the earlier rounds are NOT carried over — KEA prints this in red, and a candidate who does not re-enter is simply not in the round. Two windows, one deadline: a candidate not allotted in Round 2, or who cancelled after paying the penalty, enters from 6:00 PM on 31 August; a candidate who already joined a college and wants an upgrade enters from 11:00 AM on 2 September. Both shut at 6:00 PM on 3 September.

  20. DoneRound-3 PROVISIONAL allotment result — 4 September 2026 official source

    Allotment run on merit against the options entered by 6:00 PM on 3 September, and published on 4 September for engineering, architecture, veterinary, farm sciences, pharmacy, B.Sc Nursing, yoga & naturopathy, BPT, BPO and allied health sciences. ⚠️ It is PROVISIONAL — the seat on it can still move, because KEA will re-run the round once the Choice-4 exits below are known. ⚠️ The notification comes and goes on KEA’s portal. It is still listed there, along with all 42 Round-3 provisional cut-off files published beside it, but the files answer only some of the time — all 43 have flipped between served and 404 together, as one block, on at least four separate occasions since 5 September; they answered normally on 11 September and were 404 again on the morning of the 12th. If the link fails, it is worth trying again later rather than treating the document as gone. We read and quoted it on 5 September while it was served, and the link is kept rather than deleted so the source of every statement here stays checkable.

  21. DoneCHOICE-4 on the provisional Round-3 result — offered in Round 3 for the first time, and not to everyone — 4 Sep → 5 Sep 5:00 PM official source add to calendar

    ⚠️ Only for candidates allotted a seat for the FIRST time in Round 3. Such a candidate who does not want the provisionally allotted seat may log in, select Choice-4, and leave this year’s UGCET counselling. A candidate who reported against a Round-2 seat and entered Round 3 for an upgrade is NOT permitted to give Choice-4 and must compulsorily take admission to the seat allotted. Choosing nothing is not neutral: after the final result there is no reason KEA will accept for not reporting, and cancelling an engineering seat then costs the government fee PLUS a five-times penalty, with seat-blocking referred for legal action. ⚠️ The notification this stage cites is served only intermittently by KEA, and has been since the evening of 5 September, after the window had already closed. It is still listed on the portal; if it returns 404, try again later.

  22. DoneFINAL Round-3 allotment result, after the Choice-4 seats are re-allotted — 7 September 2026 official source

    Published 7 September under No. ED/KEA/UGCET/ADALITHA-04/2026: the seats of candidates who took Choice-4 after the 4 September provisional result were withdrawn, the allotment re-run, and the final result published for engineering, architecture, veterinary, agricultural sciences, pharmacy, B.Sc Nursing, yoga & naturopathy, BPT, BPO and allied health science courses. The result is behind the candidate login on KEA’s portal; the notice is a one-page Kannada scan. What follows it is compulsory — see the two stages below.

  23. DoneRound-3 fee payment and seat confirmation slip download — 8 Sep → 10 Sep 2026 (no closing hour printed) official source add to calendar

    CLOSED. KEA printed 10 September as the closing date and no hour, and published no extension — the UGCET portal was re-read on the morning of the 11th and carried nothing new. The payment and confirmation-slip link had gone up on 8 September. A candidate who paid in an earlier round had it carried across rather than paying again. ⚠️ The seat confirmation slip downloaded here is what has to be produced at the college, and reporting is the stage below.

  24. DoneReport at the allotted college — compulsory after the FINAL Round-3 result — closed 11 September 2026, 6:00 PM official source add to calendar

    CLOSED at 6:00 PM on 11 September, and it was the last dated step on the UGCET third round. The 07-09 notice: candidates allotted a seat in the FINAL third-round result had to take admission at the college by that instant, with the fee paid and the seat confirmation slip downloaded. KEA published no extension — the UGCET portal was re-read on the mornings of the 11th and the 12th and carried 460 linked documents both times, none of them new. Requests for seat cancellation were not to be entertained for any reason, and KEA stated that legal action follows against a candidate who does not take admission. ⚠️ With this shut, the UGCET track has no future dated stage at all: KEA closed online allotment for engineering on 8 September, so there is no Round 4 to wait for and no casual-vacancy round has been notified.

  25. DoneAfter the FINAL Round-3 result there is no choice left, and cancelling costs five times the fee — in force from 7 September 2026 official source

    KEA states that once the third-round result is declared a candidate may not choose any option and must compulsorily take admission in the allotted seat; and that under CET-2006 rule 10(4) cancelling an engineering seat after the third round means paying the government fee PLUS a penalty of five times that fee to KEA. Narrower than it reads: the 4 September notice does offer Choice-4 on the PROVISIONAL result above — this is the position after the FINAL one. Two groups could not participate in the round at all: anyone who selected no choice after Round 2, and anyone who chose Choice-4 then — though such a candidate whose option list contains medical or dental options re-enters at UGNEET Round 2. KEA says the post-allotment schedule follows separately.

  26. DoneKEA closes online allotment for engineering: 24,283 engineering and 252 architecture seats go back to the colleges — 8 September 2026 official source

    No. ED/KEA/ADALITHA/C.R.04(BHA)/2026, dated 08-09-2026: the first, second and third rounds of online seat allotment for the Government-quota engineering seats were concluded on 7 September, and the seats still unallotted after the final round — 24,283 engineering and 252 architecture — are being returned to the respective colleges under the consensual agreement with the private-college associations (KUPECA, KRLMPCA, AMPCK) and AICTE’s last date for admissions. ⚠️ There is no fourth KEA round for these seats: a candidate without an allotment now deals with the college directly. The college-wise list is published on the KEA portal — two files, linked there on 8 September and confirmed live on the 10th: engineering (engineering_un_allotted_seatskannada.pdf) and architecture (architecture_un_allotted_seatskannada.pdf). The counts inside them are not loaded into this site’s seat-matrix pages yet.

UGCET Round-2 and UGNEET Round-1 allotments run SIMULTANEOUSLY this cycle (MCC’s national schedule forced the sync) — one joint KEA notification governs both.

Questions & Answers

Answered from verified records — official closing ranks, published fees and accreditation. Not written by students. How we verify data.

Is the KCET 2026 Round 2 result out, and is it final?
Yes — the final allotment result is out, and it is the one a seat rests on. The official portals below are where it is published. This page tracks KEA’s notification, not a rumour.
I have a seat on the provisional list. Should I go to the college?
No. KEA’s notification is explicit that a candidate shall NOT report to the college shown on a provisional allotment — it is a working list published so that errors can be raised before it is fixed. Objections closed on 24 August 2026, 4:00 pm and this window cannot be reopened. Reporting, fee payment and the choice you exercise all belong to the FINAL result, which KEA has not dated. Until then nothing about that seat is settled, and no fee is owed to anyone on the strength of it.
Where do I actually check my allotment?
On CAP — KEA’s Centralised Allotment Process, at keaonline.karnataka.gov.in. That is a different system from the application portal you used to apply and pay, which is on cetonline.karnataka.gov.in and does not carry allotment results. The exam portal carries the notification and its PDFs; CAP carries your individual seat. This site does not host allotment results, mirror rank cards, or ask for your CET number, and no site that does is KEA.
When do I choose, and what are the choices?
After the FINAL Round-2 result, UGCET allotees get CHOICE-1 or CHOICE-4 only — Choice-2 and Choice-3 are not offered in this round. Choice-1 candidates who pay and report may still join Round 3, subject to the conditions in the same notification.
The portal is slow or will not load. What should I do?
Result hour is when the portal is busiest, and a timeout is not a lost seat — the allotment is already recorded against your CET number. Try again rather than through any third-party mirror, keep to the official domains listed on this page, and use the published window rather than the first minute of it. Nothing about your allotment changes because a page failed to load.
What does my rank actually get me?
That is answerable from the previous rounds’ published closing ranks rather than from guesswork. This site holds 52,807 verified closing ranks transcribed from KEA’s and COMEDK’s own publications, arranged by rank band, branch, category and college — so you can see where a rank like yours actually closed.
