The Karnataka counselling schedule has been revised for the Under Graduate Common Entrance Test (UGCET or KCET 2025) admissions. The updated round 1 schedule is for admission to engineering, farm science, veterinary, pharmacy, yoga and naturopathy, allied health sciences, architecture, nursing, and homoeopathic courses.

The choice selection window for Karnataka UGCET 2025 counselling will close on August 14, at 11 am. Selected candidates can accept the allocated seats and confirm admission, or opt for seat upgradation through further rounds of counselling. Payment of acceptance fees and physical reporting at the allotted institute is mandatory for accepting the seat, if a candidate wishes to retain it in case of non-upgradation.

Students can also reject the current seat and wait for the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) to release the next round of seat allotments on the official website, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. No fee payment is required for this choice.
