✅ Tips for KCET Second Round Counselling
1. Understand the Process
- In the second round, you will again get options to modify or re-order your choices.
- Seats left after the first round (including those not confirmed by others) will be available.
- Be aware that options are locked after the deadline – double-check before submitting.
2. Check Seat Matrix Before Option Entry
- Go through the updated seat matrix released for round 2.
- Focus on your preferred colleges and branches – see if vacancies are available.
- This helps you set realistic expectations.
3. Prioritize Choices Wisely
- Arrange your options in true preference order (college + course combination).
- Don’t put random choices just to fill – you might end up with a seat you don’t want.
- Example: If you prefer Computer Science in College A more than College B, always place it above.
4. Know the Choice Selection Rules
- After seat allotment, you usually get the following options:
- Choice 1: Accept seat & don’t participate in further rounds.
- Choice 2: Accept seat & still wait for better options in the next round.
- Choice 3: Reject current seat but continue for next round.
- Choice 4: Reject and quit counselling.
5. Keep Documents & Payments Ready
- Make sure you have already verified your documents.
- Keep scanned copies and originals ready if required.
- Ensure you have online payment options (net banking, UPI, card) ready for fee payment.
6. Don’t Miss Deadlines
- Option entry, choice locking, result declaration, and fee payment dates are strict.
- Missing a deadline means losing your seat chance in that round.
👉 If you are happy with the seat, go with Choice 1 or 2. If you’re aiming your dream college, Choice 2 is safest in first round but in second round it's risky 😔.
