KEA to hold extra counselling for 290 agri, vet seats
The Story in Brief
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) will conduct another round of counselling from Monday (16 November) to fill approximately 290 vacant seats in BSc (Agriculture), BVSc (Veterinary) and Fisheries courses.
KEA Executive Director H. Prasanna said details of available seats will be announced on 16 November. Candidates already admitted to other courses must obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their college before entering options. Those previously allotted and cancelled seats in agriculture or veterinary courses, and those enrolled in Medical, Dental or AYUSH courses, are ineligible.
An advance payment of Rs 35,000 must be made by 18 November. Options must be entered by 10 a.m. on 19 November, provisional results at 5 p.m. the same day and final results at 10 a.m. on 20 November. Allotted candidates must pay fees and secure admission by 21 November.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The extra counselling targets nearly 290 unfilled seats that regular rounds failed to cover, giving a second chance to students who may have missed out earlier but left other courses. The strict eligibility bar, excluding those who cancelled agri-vet seats or joined medical streams, narrows the pool to candidates still in the system without those commitments. The tight deadlines, with only five days from seat announcement to final admission, pressure students to decide fast and arrange the advance fee of Rs 35,000. Whether the leftover seats actually get filled depends on how many eligible candidates opt in by 19 November.
