The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has started the KCET/UGCET 2026 counselling process, allowing eligible candidates to begin the option entry for college and course selection. Through this process, students can choose their preferred institutions and programmes for admission to various professional courses across Karnataka. With the counselling portal now active, candidates are advised to carefully fill in their choices, as seat allotment will be based on the options submitted.

KEA has instructed candidates to review important details such as the seat matrix, fee structure, eligibility rules, and counselling guidelines before finalising their preferences. It is generally recommended that students select a wide range of options to improve their chances of securing admission in the allotment rounds.

Along with option entry, KEA has also made the verification slip available for download. This document is mandatory for participating in the counselling process and seat allotment rounds.

Candidates without a valid verification slip will not be allowed to proceed with option entry or allotment. Those facing issues in downloading the slip should contact KEA for assistance and resolve any discrepancies at the earliest. The verification slip confirms that the candidate’s documents and eligibility have been successfully verified by the authority.
