Polytechnic Colleges in Karnataka Counseling Process

The journey to securing a seat in Karnataka Polytechnic just got more exciting with the upcoming counselling process for the year 2023. The authorities are determined to make the entire experience interactive and engaging, ensuring that candidates and their parents have all the necessary information and support they need.

The counselling sessions will be conducted at a designated Nodal centre, serving as a central hub for all the proceedings. Shortlisted candidates must mark their calendars and be present at the venue on the specified date and time. It’s crucial that they are accompanied by at least one parent to facilitate a seamless counselling process.

During the Karnataka Polytechnic seat allotment process, the authorities will consider two key factors: the candidate’s rank in the merit list and the choices they entered while filling out the application form. These factors will determine the seat allocation for each candidate. The entire process aims to provide equal opportunities for all, ensuring that deserving candidates secure their desired seats.
