KCET 2025 Counselling Begins by KEA: Option Entry and Final Seat Matrix Released

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has started the KCET 2025 counselling process. The option entry portal is now open, and the final seat matrix has been released on the official KEA website — cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.

Candidates can now select and rank their preferred colleges and courses through the KCET 2025 option entry link, which is currently live. The final seat matrix shows the number of available seats in different colleges. Earlier, KEA had shared a provisional seat matrix to help students plan better.

Before opening the option entry, KEA had allowed candidates to edit their applications and download verification slips. The deadline for this step was July 4, 2025. Only those who completed this step could download the KCET 2025 verification slip, which is required to take part in counselling.
