Another round of counselling for remaining seats in agriculture, veterinary courses

A view of the Karnataka Examinations Authority.

With approximately 290 seats still vacant in BSc (Agriculture), BVSc (Veterinary) and Fisheries courses, the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has decided to conduct another round of counselling from Monday to fill these seats.

H. Prasanna, Executive Director, KEA, stated that details of the available seats will be announced on November 16. He advised candidates who have already secured admission to other courses to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their respective colleges before entering their options for this round.

Candidates who were previously allotted seats in Agriculture or Veterinary courses but subsequently cancelled their admission are not eligible to seek admission to the same courses again. Furthermore, those who have already enrolled in Medical, Dental or AYUSH courses, as well as candidates who were allotted seats during the fourth round or subsequent rounds, are also ineligible to participate in this round of seat allotment.

Fees already paid for other courses will not be adjusted against the seats allotted in this round. Instead, the fee must be paid afresh. He stated that the advance payment already made will be adjusted against the total fee. An advance payment of ₹35,000 must be made by November 18. Options must be entered by 10 a.m. on November 19. The provisional results will be announced at 5 p.m. on the same day, and the final results will be declared at 10 a.m. on November 20. Candidates who are allotted a seat must pay the fee and secure admission to the respective colleges by November 21, Mr. Prasanna explained.
