Once the Round 2 seat allotment list is released on August 29, candidates who are allotted a seat must:

Who is eligible for UGCET counselling round 2?
Round 2 of Karnataka UGCET 2025 counselling is open to candidates who were not allotted any seat during Round 1, those who had opted to participate in further rounds during the previous counselling process, and candidates who have already been allotted a seat but wish to upgrade to a better option based on availability. These students can now take advantage of the choice filling window to secure a preferred course or college before the final allotment.
