Table of Content:

Are you aiming for a seat in a top engineering or professional college in Karnataka? If you cleared the KCET 2025 exam, your next big step is the counselling process. This step is just as important as the exam itself. Many students with good KCET scores miss out on top colleges because they don’t follow the counselling steps properly.

KCET counselling is where your actual seat is decided. You will choose your preferred colleges and courses, upload documents, and wait for allotment results. This is your chance to secure admission in B.Tech, B.Arch, Pharmacy, or other courses in top government or private colleges.

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) manages the process. You need to stay updated on dates, documents, and option entry rules. This article will guide you through all the steps with clear information, tips, and answers to common doubts. Read on to prepare for KCET 2025 counselling confidently.

KCET 2025 Counselling Dates

KCET 2025 counselling is a crucial stage in the admission process for students who want to join engineering, architecture, pharmacy, or other professional courses in Karnataka. After you clear the KCET exam, your admission depends on how well you participate in the counselling. The counselling is managed by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), and it happens in several steps.

The counselling process begins with registration and document verification. After this, you can fill in your college and course preferences through the option entry portal. KEA conducts mock allotments to help you understand the seat allotment system. Once the final allotment is done, you must confirm your seat, pay the fees, and report to the college within the given time.

The counselling process takes place over several months. It usually starts in June and continues until October. Below is a table showing the important dates for KCET 2025 counselling (expected):
