KCET counselling 2025: Highlights

Karnataka UGCET counselling is for admission to undergraduate courses in engineering and technology, architecture, AYUSH and allied health sciences, and agriculture. Students who appeared for the UGCET exam must register for counselling. Students who appeared for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) can also register for UGCET counselling for medical admissions to Karnataka colleges.

All students who have registered for counselling and choice-filling have to appear for a document verification process. Candidates of Karnataka domicile have to appear for physical verification, while non-Karnataka candidates can download the verification slip from their portals.
