CET Mangalore: Candidates can still change their options

CET rank holders have two more days to change their option entries or to add new options even though the option entry process was concluded on Friday at 5pm. 

CET Mangalore helpline centre nodal officer C Suresh Thunga told TOI that candidates can open the option entry page of the Karnataka Examinations Authority's (KEA) website to change their seat options or to mark additional options on Saturday and Sunday. "The mock result was out on Friday. However, it is only a preparatory result and not the final one. It is not necessary that candidates will get the same seat, which has been allotted in the mock result, in the final result also. The final seat allotment list will be published on the website on July 25," he added.The CET rank holders will receive a message on their mobile phones or in their personal emails regarding the seat allotment. "The candidates should inform KEA about their choice immediately after they receive the message. If they are planning to accept the seat given by KEA, they should opt for 'choice - 1'. 

Later, they should visit the nearest helpline centre to pay the fee. They need to draw a demand draft in favour of KEA and obtain the admission order between July 26 and 30. They should join for the course at the allotted institute before July 31, otherwise their seats will be cancelled," he said. Those students, who are not accepting the seat, should opt for 'choice - 2' and they can enter their options again in the casual or category round. Seats available in the category round will be published on the website on August 2. They can enter their options again from August 5 to 9. 

The result of the category round will be published on August 10. "They need to pay their fees between August 10 and 14," he added. The casual round will begin on August 17 and the available seat will be published on the website on the same day. The candidates can enter options in this round from August 18 to 21. The result of the round will be out on August 22 and the students should visit the helpline centre to pay the fees between August 23 and 27.
