Pharmacy aspirants in Karnataka have until 1 pm today, October 28, to change the college options they entered for Diploma in Pharmacy admissions. The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) published the Round 1 mock seat allotment on October 27, and the window to revise options or file objections closes this afternoon.
The mock list shows the college a candidate would get if allotment stopped today, based on rank and the options already entered. It is a trial run. No seat is confirmed by it, and no one should report to a college on the basis of the mock list alone.
How to check the mock allotment
Candidates who registered for the D.Pharm admission process can check the result on the official KEA website. Open the Diploma in Pharmacy admission section, follow the mock allotment link, and log in with the credentials used during registration. The result shows the provisionally allotted college and course. Download a copy for reference, since the options screen will change after edits.
What you can change before 1 pm
KEA has allowed candidates to add, delete or reorder options until 1 pm today, and objections to the mock allotment carry the same deadline. This window carries more weight than it looks, because of one rule in KEA’s diploma counselling: the options entered before the first round stay in place for later rounds. Candidates cannot enter a fresh set of options later, though they can delete options, change the order of higher options, and add new options for colleges or courses that entered the seat matrix after the first round.
That makes today the right time to fix the order properly. Put the college you most want at the top, and drop any college you would not join if it came up in the final list. A college that appears in the mock list may or may not appear in the final list, because other candidates are editing their options at the same time.
What happens next
KEA has not announced a date for the final Round 1 seat allotment. The authority will publish it on the same portal after processing the revised options. Candidates should check the KEA website for the final list rather than acting on forwarded messages. Once the final list is out, the next steps will be fee payment and reporting to the allotted college within the window KEA notifies, so it helps to keep documents ready in advance. Our admission documents checklist covers the papers candidates usually need at reporting time.
