Karnataka PGCET 2025 Final Round Option Entry Begins; Check Seat Matrix and Link

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has begun the PGCET 2025 Round 3/Final Round option entry process on its official website - cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea/pgcet2025. Candidates can log in using either their CET number and application number or by scanning the QR code printed on their claim slip.

KEA has also released the PGCET final round seat matrix for MBA, MCA, and MTech courses, available separately in PDF format on the official website. The seat matrix provides detailed course-wise and category-wise availability of seats for the final round.

Candidates are encouraged to fill as many options as possible, regardless of the current vacancy status, since new seats may become available if candidates from previous rounds surrender their allotments. The surrender window for earlier allotments will remain open till November 6, 4 PM, and candidates must complete the option entry process by 6 PM on the same day.
