What Happens If a Candidate Surrenders the Seat?

KEA has warned candidates against blocking government seats without joining. A candidate who surrenders an allotted engineering seat must pay the prescribed fees. A penalty equal to five times the fees is also charged as per KEA rules.

Legal action may follow in case a candidate blocks a seat and fails to join. Students are advised to enter their choice with care and honesty.

Why This Round Matters

Round 3 is the final KEA allotment round before the mop-up stage. Seats not accepted in this round move to the extended round. Students seeking a better college should weigh Choice 2 carefully.
