There is no limit to the number of options that can be chosen by the candidates.

  • Internet Explorer version 8 or above
  • Mozilla Firefox version 10 or above
  • Google Chrome

Additionally, the site must be viewed at a resolution of 1024x720 or higher.

When candidates are satisfied with their options, they can move on to the online option entry process. This must be done by clicking on the Candidate's Option Entry link available in the portal and giving option numbers in the designated spaces.

Modifying Options

Candidates can modify their saved options at any point before the deadline. The link to modify options will be available after logging into the Option Entry Portal. Candidates can simply change the preference of options as desired and click on Update to save the changes.

If a candidate wishes to delete a chosen option, they can just change its preference to 0 and click on Update. Candidates must ensure that they modify options as per their desire before the specified deadline. The options chosen by the candidates at the deadline are automatically frozen and considered for seat allotment.

Step 6: Seat Allotment

The Karnataka PGCET 2024 MBA Seat Allotment Process is conducted in multiple rounds. The seat allotment is conducted automatically by a computer as per the options entered by a candidate, their preference, and the availability of seats in their desired course or colleges.

The reservation under various categories will also be considered during the seat allotment process. Reserved category students will be allotted seats first. Once they are filled, allotment for the remaining seats will be continued for all of the remaining candidates.

Only the candidates who have participated in the first round of counselling will be considered for the subsequent rounds. Exercising of options is a must after every round. More details can be found below.

Exercising Choices After Seat Allotment

After each round of seat allotment, there would be four choices available to a candidate on how to proceed.

Choice 1: Candidates who are satisfied with the seat allotment can refrain from participating in further rounds of counselling. The seats allotted to such candidates will be finalized and made unavailable for further rounds of counselling. Such candidates can complete the fee payment and confirm their admission on the KEA website before the deadline. In case a candidate fails to do so, their allotted seat will be cancelled.

Choice 2: Candidates who are satisfied with their allotted seats but willing to participate in the next round can choose this option. They will be required to pay the allotment fees. However, they will still be included in the next round. If a better seat is allotted to the candidate, they will be upgraded and the previously allotted seat will be cancelled.

Choice 3: Candidates who are not satisfied with their allotted seat can opt to surrender their allotted seat but still be included in the next round. In such a case, a candidate will be considered for the next round of allotment with the options they have already entered. However, they will not be considered for the previously allotted seat.

Choice 4: Candidates can surrender their allotted seats and refrain from participating in further rounds. Their candidature for all subsequent rounds will be cancelled.
