DCET 2026 Seat Matrix and Eligibility
The KEA published three separate seat matrix documents on July 28, 2026, detailing the available seats for various categories.

The DCET counselling specifically caters to diploma holders aspiring for lateral entry into the second year (third semester) of B.E., B.Tech, and B.Arch programmes across Karnataka.
Seat allotment is determined by several factors, including the candidates’ DCET ranks, their reservation category, the availability of seats in their preferred courses and institutions, and the order of preferences they have submitted. Candidates are advised to consult the detailed seat matrix documents available on the KEA portal to make informed decisions during the option modification window.

Prior to the mock allotment, the KEA had already published the document verification schedule on its portal. Verification slip download links are also available on the KEA portal for both regular and working professional candidates, confirming their eligibility for the counselling process. This ensures that only verified candidates proceed to the seat allotment stages.
Following the current option modification window, the KEA will proceed with the final seat allotment based on the last saved options of the candidates. While the exact date for the final round seat allotment is pending, candidates must ensure their options are accurately reflected and saved. Regular updates regarding the counselling schedule and subsequent steps will be provided on the official KEA website, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
