Seat allotment is online
Students appearing for counselling need not travel all the way to Bengaluru, as the allotment of engineering seats in private colleges will be done online this year. Students will have to pay D5,000 before the option entry, which will be considered as part of the fees for the first term. The online counselling process will be similar to that of Karnataka Examinations Authority, where students will be given time to enter options of engineering colleges, following which there will be a mock allotment of seats. The ranks of the UGET will be announced on May 29. Candidates can pick seats from 147 engineering colleges.
