UGCET 2026: KEA Extends Choice Entry and Seat Cancellation Deadline to August 29
Bengaluru: The Karnataka Examinations Authority has extended until August 29 the deadline for candidates to record their admission choices and cancel seats allotted during the second round of UGCET 2026 counselling for engineering and other CET courses.
KEA Executive Director H. Prasanna said candidates can pay the prescribed fee and report to their allotted colleges until August 31.
Candidates who do not wish to accept their existing allotment under Choice 1 but intend to participate in the third round may cancel the seat allotted in the second round by paying a penalty of ₹5,000, according to the authority.
The extension gives candidates additional time to complete choice entry, fee payment, college reporting or seat cancellation procedures under the ongoing counselling process.
