KEA Choice Selection Matrix (Post-Allotment)

After seat declaration in Round 1, every candidate MUST exercise one of the following 4 options on the KEA portal. Failing to exercise a choice cancels the seat.

Choice 1: Accept & Freeze Exit KEA

You are 100% satisfied with this seat. Pay the fee online, download Admission Order, and report to college. You cannot participate in further rounds.

Choice 2: Hold & Upgrade (Round 1 Only) Most Recommended

Hold your currently allotted seat as safety, and enter Round 2 to compete for HIGHER preferences only. If upgraded in Round 2, your old seat is automatically released.

Choice 3: Reject & Float High Risk

Surrender your current allotment completely. Compete in Round 2 with no seat in hand. If no higher option gets allotted in Round 2, you are left without a seat.

Choice 4: Quit Counseling Exit

Reject allotted seat and exit KCET counseling altogether (e.g., if you secured an IIT, NIT, or BITS seat).
