The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially started the KCET 2025 counselling option entry process on its website cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. However, due to server issues since day one, many students and parents have faced problems to logging in.
To reduce anxiety and ensure a smooth process for all, KEA has extended the option entry deadline till July 18, 2025.
Important Update:
The mock seat allotment result will be released on July 21, 2025, and the final allotment result will be out on July 28, 2025.
What Happened with the KEA Portal?
On both Day 1 and Day 2 of the option entry process, technical issues in KEA’s state data centre servers disrupted the system. Though temporary fixes were applied, KEA decided to give students more time for filling their options.
KEA Executive Director H. Prasanna confirmed that the issue is being addressed and urged students not to panic.
