Mock Allotment
Note on Mock Allotment
After the entry of options are completed, based on the real data mock allotment will be carried out and the allotment status will be hosted on the KEA website for the information of the candidates. Two days time will be given to the candidates to verify the status of their allotment. Here, the candidate after ascertaining college and course allotted, if he / she wants to change / modify his / her options can do so within the stipulated date and time. Then based on the modified entry of options the real allotment will be carried out.
Why do we conduct Mock Allotment?
Based on the Mock Allotment a candidate can know his / her status of allotment as per his / her priority of options. This gives a clear view to the candidate to change or retain the entered options. Candidate can come to know that the other candidate with lower merit has got seat which he was eligible but for his not entering that option. Therefore, candidates will be given one more choice to change the priority of options, deletion of or addition of options.
Due to change in the options by candidates after Mock Allotment, one may not get the same seat in the real allotment as was allotted in the mock allotment.
