KCET Round 2 counselling is Karnataka Examinations Authority’s (KEA) next opportunity for candidates to secure or upgrade their admission based on remaining seats after Round 1. It involves submitting or verifying documents, filling choices, seat allotment, and reporting to colleges
Why Document Submission Matters
Document verification is pivotal—without it, you can’t proceed to choice filling or seat allotment. Round 2 is your chance if you missed verifying in Round 1 or are aiming for a better seat.
Latest Updates on KCET Round 2 Document Submission
Timeline Overview
Round 1 concluded with reporting until August 15, 2025
Round 2 is expected to kick off in September 2025 with document verification, choice modification, seat allotment, and reporting following soon after
Marks Entry Window Impact
KEA opened a marks entry window from May 26, 2025, enabling candidates to submit or correct Class 12 (2nd PUC) marks, ensuring they get their spot rank—critical for counselling participation
