What is a seat matrix, and how is it different from a cut-off?

The matrix says how many seats exist; the cut-off says the rank at which one closed. A branch with four seats and a tempting closing rank is a very different bet from the same rank against forty seats — which is why option lists should be built against both.

Are these the seats still available?

These are the seats KEA published in the KCET 2026 Round 3 provisional matrix on 31 August 2026. A matrix is a snapshot of that moment: allotment consumes seats, and the next round's matrix supersedes this one. Always confirm against the current publication on KEA's portal before acting.

Why do some colleges have no link?

50 of the 219 institutions in this publication are not in our directory, so they appear under KEA's own printed name with no profile to link. Leaving them out would understate the published total, which is the number most people come here for.

Why are there more KEA codes than colleges?

KEA allots against 242 college codes, but those belong to 219 institutions: a college with a day stream and an evening stream, or two campuses, holds a code for each. The table below lists one row per institution with every code it holds, so a college is never counted twice.

What do the category codes mean?

GM is General Merit, 2AG is Category 2A General, GMR is General Merit Rural, GMH is General Merit in the 371(J) Kalyana-Karnataka pool, SNQ is the supernumerary fee-waiver quota, and so on. The decoder page explains the grammar so you can read a code you have never seen.

How do you know the numbers are right?

Two checks run every time the matrix is parsed: each course row's category columns must sum to the Total KEA printed beside it (1,673 of 1,673 do), and each college's course rows must sum to KEA's own college Total row (241 of 241 do). A mis-read column would break both.

KCET 2026 seat matrix — Round 3

29,236 seats · 242 KEA codes · 219 institutions — as published by KEA on 31 August 2026.

In short

KEA published 29,236 seats in the KCET 2026 Round 3 provisional matrix — across 219 institutions holding 242 KEA college codes, in 1,668 college-and-branch rows. The three numbers differ because a KEA code is one line in KEA’s allotment system: a college with a day and an evening stream has two. The largest single pool is General Merit with 20,435 seats; 866 are supernumerary fee-waiver (SNQ) seats. A matrix is a snapshot of the day it was published, not a live count. Earlier this year: Round 2 (7 August 2026) — 31,698 seats.

Transcribed from KEA UGCET-2026 Third Round UnAllotted & Cancelled Provisional Seat Matrix, Engineering (as on 31-08-2026). KEA titles it “UGCET-2026 Third Round UnAllotted & Cancelled Provisional Seat Matrix as on 31-08-2026 FOR Engineering”. Every number here was checked against KEA’s own totals twice — per course row and per college — before publication. Seats change as allotment proceeds: confirm against the current matrix on KEA’s portal before you act.

Seat matrix — questions and answers

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

What is a seat matrix, and how is it different from a cut-off?: The matrix says how many seats exist; the cut-off says the rank at which one closed. A branch with four seats and a tempting closing rank is a very different bet from the same rank against forty seats — which is why option lists should be built against both.
Are these the seats still available?: These are the seats KEA published in the KCET 2026 Round 3 provisional matrix on 31 August 2026. A matrix is a snapshot of that moment: allotment consumes seats, and the next round's matrix supersedes this one. Always confirm against the current publication on KEA's portal before acting.
Why do some colleges have no link?: 50 of the 219 institutions in this publication are not in our directory, so they appear under KEA's own printed name with no profile to link. Leaving them out would understate the published total, which is the number most people come here for.
Why are there more KEA codes than colleges?: KEA allots against 242 college codes, but those belong to 219 institutions: a college with a day stream and an evening stream, or two campuses, holds a code for each. The table below lists one row per institution with every code it holds, so a college is never counted twice.
What do the category codes mean?: GM is General Merit, 2AG is Category 2A General, GMR is General Merit Rural, GMH is General Merit in the 371(J) Kalyana-Karnataka pool, SNQ is the supernumerary fee-waiver quota, and so on. The decoder page explains the grammar so you can read a code you have never seen.
How do you know the numbers are right?: Two checks run every time the matrix is parsed: each course row's category columns must sum to the Total KEA printed beside it (1,673 of 1,673 do), and each college's course rows must sum to KEA's own college Total row (241 of 241 do). A mis-read column would break both.

Use it with the rest

College predictor — Enter a rank and category; see which colleges closed at or beyond it, from the verified rows.
Verified cut-offs — Every closing rank on the site, by exam, branch, category, rank band, city and round.
Counselling tracker — Which round each exam is in, read from the official portal and dated.
KEA college codes — The E-codes option entry asks for, matched to college pages.
Option-entry sheet — Your saved colleges in priority order, each with its KEA code and verified closing ranks; printable.
Category codes — What 2AG, 3BH, SCG and the other cut-off columns mean.
Exam calendar — Dated exam and counselling windows, with the notification behind each.
