I have participated in the KCET counselling and have gone through mock round as well as first round. In both rounds I have altered my Entry option list . As you know all candidates have to pay 750 Rs to start adding their choices . Is that amount to be paid at start only 1 time or after every counselling? If its only one time , In my portal it is showing that there is no payment on my CET No. and i will have to pay 750 Rs. also there is no link to pay at all. I have sent an email to KEA due to this issue already and will call them today. What else can I do as the last date for entry option altering is on 7th august 2025 ?

Ans: Hello dear
If your son chose Choice 3 (participate in the next round without holding the current seat), the system blocks him if he had already been allotted a seat and didn’t follow the rules properly. This error typically means he is no longer eligible for further rounds. The only solution is to immediately contact the KEA helpline or KEA office with his details to check if reactivation or manual intervention is possible. If possible, visit the KEA office in person for faster assistance.

Good luck.

Ans: You should immediately contact the KEA helpline/KEA office with your application details, as being “Stopped from the CET Admission Process” usually means ineligibility or non-confirmation, and only KEA can rectify it.

Good luck.

Ans: Hi Shubha,
Your concern is about the refund of the caution deposit, not about being stopped from the CET admission process.

If you have been stopped from the KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) CET admission process and need to get your deposited caution deposit refunded, you will likely receive it back after a deduction for a processing fee, provided that the cancellation occurs before the mop-up round and not after a final forfeiture. To claim the refund, you will need to follow specific procedures, which include providing your bank account details to the KEA and submitting required documents, such as your admission order, challan, and verification slip. The refund is typically processed to the same account from which the deposit was made and can take up to 15 working days.
Procedure:

Reasons for Being Stopped:
There are various reasons, such as cancellation of a seat, failure to join an allotted institution, or other procedural issues. The status of your deposit will depend on the specific reason for being stopped, which you haven't mentioned.

Check the Specific Refund and Forfeiture Rules:
- Before the Mop-Up Round: If you cancel before the last date for mop-up option entry, a processing fee will be deducted, and the remainder of your deposit will be refunded.
- After the Mop-Up Round or After Seat Allotment Cancellation: If you cancel after the mop-up round or if your admission is canceled, the entire deposit may be forfeited.

Based on the above information, you can initiate the refund process.

To Initiate the Refund Process:
Provide Bank Details: To receive the refund, you must furnish your bank account details to KEA as per their instructions and deadlines.

Submit Required Documents: You will need to provide documents such as your admission order, challan, and verification slip to process the cancellation and refund.
