The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially announced the UGCET 2026 Mock Seat Allotment Results for candidates seeking admission to various undergraduate professional courses. The mock allotment has been published on 5 July 2026, allowing students to review their allotted seats and make necessary changes before the first round of counselling.
This is one of the most important stages of the KEA counselling process, as it gives candidates an opportunity to improve their chances of securing a preferred college or course.

The mock seat allotment has been released for admissions into:
- Engineering
- Agricultural Science
- Veterinary Science
- B.Sc. (Nursing)
- Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT)

- Which college and course they are likely to get based on their current option entry.
- Whether they should reorder, add, or remove choices.
- How they can improve their chances in the actual first-round allotment.
Candidates should carefully analyze their mock allotment before making any changes.
