The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the KCET 2026 Round 2 provisional seat allotment result and college-wise, course-wise and category-wise cutoff information for participating UGCET courses. Candidates can use the cutoff list to check the last allotted rank for engineering colleges and branches under different reservation categories.

The Round 2 allotment is provisional, so students should verify their allotment status, review the applicable cutoff rank and wait for KEA’s final instructions on seat acceptance, fee payment, confirmation-slip download and college reporting. The final Round 2 schedule and subsequent counselling dates must be checked through the official KEA portal because they may be revised.

The cutoff rank indicates the last rank at which a seat was provisionally allotted for a particular combination of college, course, category and seat type. It is not a fixed qualifying mark and may differ from one branch or category to another.
