Important Guidelines for Option Entry
The KEA has provided specific instructions for candidates participating in Round 2 web option entry:
If a candidate selects Choice 2 after holding a seat from Round 1, and a new seat is allotted in Round 2, the Round 1 seat will be automatically cancelled. This released seat will then be added back into the seat matrix for other candidates.
When modifying or deleting previously entered options, candidates should only add options that represent a better preference than their current allocation. This ensures continuous improvement in seat choice.
For Choice 2 candidates, the seat allotted to them in Round 1 is considered their last preference in the subsequent rounds. This acts as a fallback if no higher preference is secured.
Candidates can enter any number of options based on their preferences and eligibility. There is no limit on the number of colleges and courses they can list.
Seat Allotment Process
Seat allotments for Round 2 will be based on the preferences submitted through the web option entry. The provisional seat allotment result will be published on October 23, 2025, at 6:00 PM . The final seat allotment list for Round 2 will follow on October 24, 2025, after 10:00 AM . Candidates should regularly check the official KEA portal for the latest updates and detailed instructions regarding admission procedures post-allotment.
