Merely checking the result is not the final step. The KEA has mandated that all candidates who have been allotted a seat in this first round must actively exercise one of four specific choices. This decision is binding and must be made within the stipulated deadline.
According to the official notification, candidates must log in to their portal and select from the following options:
Choice 1: Accept the allotted seat and report to the assigned college.
Choice 2: Accept the allotted seat but indicate a willingness to participate in the next round of counselling for a potential upgrade.
Choice 3: Reject the currently allotted seat but remain eligible for the second round of counselling.
Choice 4: Reject the allotted seat and withdraw from the entire counselling process.
Important Note: The KEA has explicitly stated that candidates who fail to select any option within the given timeline will automatically forfeit their allotted seat without further notice. It is highly recommended to take a printout of the finally submitted option form as proof.
Fee Payment and Reporting Schedule: Key Dates
For candidates selecting Choice 1 or Choice 2, the following payment and reporting schedule is critical:
Fee Payment Window: The prescribed admission fee must be paid online between October 6, 2025, and October 8, 2025.
Reporting to Colleges (Choice 1): Candidates who opt for Choice 1 must physically report to their allotted college along with all required original documents and the downloaded confirmation slip by October 9, 2025.
Guidance for Candidates Without a Seat Allotment
Applicants who did not receive a seat allotment in Round 1 need not take any immediate action. They should await the commencement of the second round of counselling. The KEA will announce a fresh schedule for option entry for subsequent rounds on its official website, and eligible candidates will need to confirm their participation at that time.
