The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has begun the first round of option entry for admissions to engineering, veterinary, agriculture, Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT), and Allied Health Sciences (AHS) courses, excluding medical courses. Candidates can enter their choices until July 15.
The seat matrices for the Medical, Dental, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani, BSc Nursing, Architecture, Yoga, and Naturopathy courses have not yet been released by the respective departments. Once these are made available, the option entry for these courses will also be opened, stated KEA Executive Director H. Prasanna in a press release.
The results of the mock allotment will be announced on July 19, after which candidates will have until July 22 to rearrange their preferences. The final seat allotment results will be published on July 25.
Candidates are advised to carefully review the seat matrix and follow the preference order while entering their options.
