Just In: What’s Happened With KS DAT Counselling Today

The LBS Centre for Science and Technology, on behalf of the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Kerala, has declared the Round 1 Seat Allotment Result of KS DAT 2026 today, 24 July 2026, at the official portal lbsapplications.kerala.gov.in. This marks the first major milestone in the B.Des admission cycle for design colleges across Kerala. The journey to this point began with the KS DAT entrance exam, held in the fourth week of June 2026, followed by the result declaration in the first week of July, and counselling registration & choice filling that ran from 7 to 10 July 2026, where candidates submitted their preferred colleges and design programmes through the Centralised Allotment Process (CAP).

Good to Know: KS DAT admission runs through the Single Window System (SWS), meaning one common portal handles seat allotment across all participating government and self-financing design colleges in Kerala — you don’t need to apply separately to each institute.

Understanding Government Seat vs Management Seat Selection
Seat Type How Admission Works
Government Seat Admission is exclusively based on your KS DAT rank list position — prepared by the Director of Technical Education based on your KS DAT score
Management Seat Available at private self-financing colleges — some institutes may also accept scores from other national design exams like NID DAT, UCEED, or NATA alongside KS DAT
Tip: If you’re aiming for a Government seat specifically, your KS DAT rank is the sole deciding factor — there’s no scope for management-quota flexibility in that category.
