KCET Seat Allotment Rounds
There are several different types of rounds for the seat allotment process for KCET. These include mock rounds, main rounds and an extended round. The seat allotment process takes place from August till October.
There are two main rounds of the KCET seat allotment process. These are the rounds where a majority of the seats are allocated. The first main round takes place in August. The second main round takes place in September. Students who are not allocated a seat that they like in the first round can try for the second round.
After the two main rounds of allotment, there is a ‘bonus’ or extended round of seat allotment as well. This is the round where a majority of left over seats are allotted to participating students. Students who did not participate in the main rounds, may take part in this round of counselling. It is recommended that students do not entirely rely on this round of counselling for getting into their colleges of choice.
KCET Mock Seat Allotment
Before the main rounds of seat allotment for KCET 2025 take place, there will be 2 mock rounds that take place. These rounds occur before the first main round begins. Both mock rounds are expected to take place in August 2025.
The purpose of the mock seat allotment is for students to be familiar with the overall process of seat allotment. The mock allotment also allows students to see their potential allocations of courses and colleges. However, it is important for students to note that just because they were allotted colleges in the KCET mock rounds, does not mean they will be allotted the same colleges or courses in the main rounds.
