If you joined an engineering college through KCET 2025 and completed around 3 months but now want to leave due to personal reasons, then you can definitely discontinue. However, you need to follow a proper procedure because the seat was allotted by KEA. First, you have to visit your present college and apply for official discontinuation. The college will ask you to submit a written application, no-dues form, and sometimes they may also ask for payment of fee balance as per their policies. After this, the college will issue a Transfer Certificate (TC), study certificate (if applicable), and a fee receipt acknowledgment.

Once you discontinue, your current KCET-allotted seat will get cancelled. If you want to join another engineering college next year, you must appear for KCET again or take admission through the management quota, because the old KCET seat cannot be transferred. There is no penalty from KEA side for writing KCET again next year, so you can attempt the entrance exam once more and participate in counselling to get a new seat in your preferred college.

So, the correct process is:

1. Submit a discontinuation request to your current college.

2. Clear no-dues and collect TC and supporting documents.

3. Appear for KCET next year if you want another government/KEA seat.

4. Attend counselling again and choose a new college.

Taking this step early will avoid creating academic loss later and you will be able to join a better college comfortably next year. All the best.

Hello,
If you leave the college after taking admission through the entrance process, your seat will be treated as cancelled from your side. Once you discontinue, the seat will not remain reserved for you and it will not be kept open for later joining. The college may also ask for fees as per their exit rules because you have already attended classes for three months. After cancellation, you will not be able to rejoin the same seat through the same admission round. If you want a new seat later, you will have to participate again in the next admission cycle as a fresh candidate.
Hope this helps you.
