The Karnataka Examination Authority announced that the mock seat allotment for the 2026 PGCET will be delayed, and the deadline for submitting option entries has been pushed to 18 September.
The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has informed aspirants that the mock seat allotment for the 2026 Post Graduate Common Entrance Test (PGCET) will not be released as originally scheduled. The postponement affects the timeline that candidates use to gauge their likely admission outcomes before the final merit list is published.
In response to the delay, KEA has extended the last date for submitting option entries – the choices candidates make for preferred colleges and courses – to 18 September 2026. This extension gives students additional time to review the delayed mock results and adjust their preferences accordingly.
The change is expected to impact thousands of postgraduate applicants across Karnataka who rely on the mock allotment to plan their next steps. KEA has urged candidates to monitor the official website for further updates and to ensure that all required documents are uploaded before the new deadline.
For any queries, aspirants can contact KEA’s helpline or visit the authority’s regional offices, where officials will provide guidance on the revised schedule and the subsequent phases of the admission process.
