The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has initiated the fee payment and confirmation slip download process for candidates who received seat allotments in Karnataka PGCET Round 1 counselling. The final date for candidates to pay the admission fee and download their confirmation slip is October 8 . Concurrently, the deadline for completing the choice filling process is October 7 .
KEA released the Karnataka PGCET 2025 seat allotment results on October 4 . Candidates were then required to review their allocated seats and submit their preferred choices. The current window allows candidates who accept their seat to finalize their admission by paying the fee.
Important Dates for PGCET Round 1 Counselling
- October 4: Karnataka PGCET Round 1 Seat Allotment Results announced.
- October 7: Last date for candidates to submit their choice filling preferences.
- October 8: Final deadline for admission fee payment and confirmation slip download.
- October 9: Last date for candidates who selected Choice 1 to report to their allotted colleges.
Understanding the Four Choices
KEA outlines four distinct choices for candidates after a seat allotment. These options dictate a candidate’s path for further admission steps:
- Choice 1: Accept and Report: Candidates accept the currently allotted seat and intend to join the institution. They must proceed with fee payment and college reporting.
- Choice 2: Accept and Float: Candidates accept the current seat but wish to be considered for a higher preference seat in subsequent counselling rounds. They must pay the fee but do not report immediately to the college.
- Choice 3: Reject and Wait for Round 2: Candidates reject the current seat and forfeit it, but they remain eligible to participate in the next round of counselling.
- Choice 4: Reject and Opt Out: Candidates reject the current seat and withdraw completely from all future PGCET counselling rounds for the current academic year.
Fee Payment and Confirmation Slip Download
Candidates choosing Choice 1 or Choice 2 are required to pay the specified admission fee. This payment must be completed by October 8 . Following a successful payment, candidates under Choice 1 must download their unique confirmation slip. This document is essential for the college reporting process.

College Reporting for Choice 1 Candidates
Candidates who selected Choice 1 must physically report to their assigned colleges. The reporting deadline is October 9 . They must present the downloaded confirmation slip and all other necessary original documents as listed in their claim slip. Failure to report by this date will result in the cancellation of the allotted seat.
Addressing Payment Confirmation Delays
Some candidates have reported delays in payment confirmation reflecting on their KEA login dashboards. In such instances, candidates must contact the Karnataka Examinations Authority directly. It is crucial to report the issue to KEA before attempting to make a duplicate payment, to avoid potential complications.
