The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) releases the KCET 2026 Round 1 mock seat allotment on its official counselling portal. Candidates who have completed their option entry can check their tentative allocation using their application number and password. The mock allotment is a practice round that helps candidates understand the likely college and course they may receive based on their KCET rank, category, and submitted choices, along with seat availability. KEA also activates the result link on the counselling website, and an option-editing window begins after the mock results are published. Candidates are given a period to modify or revise their preferences before the final outcome is declared. The option editing session is scheduled from July 6 to July 9, after which candidates cannot change their submitted options for this round. KEA plans to announce the KCET 2026 Round 1 final seat allotment result on July 15. Separate rounds and dates for later seat allotment phases are expected as part of the overall counselling schedule.
