What Happens After the Objection Window Closes?
KEA will review all valid objections submitted by candidates. The authority will then release the final Round 1 allotment list.
Selected candidates must pay the admission fee within the specified timeline. They must also report to the allotted college before the deadline. Unfilled seats will be carried forward to the next counselling round.
The objection window is only 24 hours long this time. Missing the September 24 cutoff means the allotment stands as final. Candidates must verify their seat details today itself.
