The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has declared the Round 1 provisional seat allotment result for Karnataka PGCET 2025. Candidates can now log in at the official portal cetonline.karnataka.gov.in to view and download their allotment PDF.
This marks an important milestone for thousands of students seeking admission to MBA, MCA, M.Tech, M.Arch and other postgraduate programs across the state.
What Today’s Provisional List Means
The list released today is provisional in nature. It gives candidates a clear idea of where they stand based on their rank, category and options filled during counselling. However, these seats are not yet final — KEA will release the final Round 1 allotment tomorrow, October 4, after 4 pm.
Candidates are advised to carefully check their allotted institute and course in the PDF, but hold on before making any irreversible decisions.
Next Steps for Candidates
Once the final Round 1 allotment is published, candidates will have a short window to exercise their choice — accept, reject, or seek an upgrade (as per KEA’s rules). Those who accept their seat must:
- Download the confirmation slip from the portal.
- Pay the prescribed fee within the given timeline.
- Report to the allotted college with original documents before the deadline.
Missing these deadlines could mean losing the allotted seat.

Students are strongly advised to keep a close eye on KEA’s official website for the final allotment tomorrow, and to act quickly once the choice-entry and fee-payment windows open.
