The conclusive Round 1 seat allocation results were released on July 15, 2026, while the choice selection process for designated seats and the final date for reporting to the assigned colleges are both set for August 2026.
In 2026, approximately 3.3 lakh candidates participated in KCET; this marks the highest number according to KCET standards, as in the previous year (2025), 3.1 lakh candidates enrolled for the KCET examination. This surge is likely to prolong the counselling process.
