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.
