Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has published the provisional seat allotment list for MBBS admissions in the 2026 counselling round. This list shows which candidates have been offered seats and at which colleges, based on their NEET UG rank, category, and the choices they submitted during counselling registration. If your name appears on this list, you have been provisionally allotted a seat — but this is not final. You must now verify your details, check for any errors, and complete the next steps (document verification and seat acceptance) within the deadline set by KEA. If you do not appear on the list, you may still get a seat in a later round, or you may be eligible to appeal if you believe an error has occurred.
Check the provisional MBBS allotment list on the KEA portal immediately to see if you have been offered a seat, and note the deadline for document verification and acceptance.
What is the Provisional Seat Allotment List?
The provisional seat allotment list is KEA's first published result showing which NEET UG candidates have been offered MBBS seats in Karnataka colleges. It is called 'provisional' because it is not yet final — candidates must complete verification and acceptance steps to confirm their seat.
The list is generated by KEA's computer system, which matches each candidate's NEET rank, category (General, SC, ST, OBC, etc.), and their choice of colleges (in order of preference) against available seats. Candidates are allotted seats in order of merit within their category, subject to their preferences and seat availability.
This is a major milestone in the admission process. Being on this list means you have cleared the merit threshold for at least one college you chose. However, the allotment can change if you do not complete verification, if errors are found in your documents, or if you do not accept the seat within the deadline.
How to Check Your Allotment Status
You must check the allotment list on the official KEA portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. Do not rely on unofficial websites, social media, or messages from others. Only the official portal is authentic.
To check your status, log in using your NEET registration number and password. Search for your name or roll number in the list. The list will show your allotted college, course (MBBS), category, and any other relevant details.
If you cannot find your name, it means you have not been allotted a seat in this round. This does not mean you will not get a seat — KEA typically conducts multiple rounds of counselling. You may be allotted in a later round, or you may be eligible to participate in a spot round or management quota counselling if applicable.
- Visit cetonline.karnataka.gov.in
- Log in with your NEET registration number and password
- Search for your name or roll number
- Note your allotted college and course details
- Save or print the allotment letter for your records
What Happens After You See Your Allotment?
If your name is on the list, you have been provisionally allotted a seat. Your next step is to report to the allotted college for document verification within the deadline announced by KEA. This deadline will be published separately — watch the KEA portal and your email for the exact dates.
At document verification, the college will check your original certificates (10th, 12th, NEET admit card, category certificate if applicable, and other required documents) against the copies you submitted during counselling. If all documents are correct and match your application, your allotment becomes confirmed.
After verification, you must formally accept the seat by paying the seat acceptance fee (if required) and signing the acceptance form. Only after this step is your admission final. If you do not complete verification and acceptance by the deadline, your seat may be cancelled and offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.
- Wait for KEA's document verification schedule (to be announced separately)
- Gather all original documents (10th, 12th, NEET admit card, category certificate, etc.)
- Report to your allotted college on the scheduled date
- Complete document verification
- Pay seat acceptance fee and sign acceptance form
- Obtain your final admission confirmation
Important: Verify Your Details Immediately
Even if you are on the allotment list, check every detail carefully. Errors in your name, category, NEET rank, or college name can cause problems later. If you spot any mistake, note it and report it to KEA or the college immediately — do not wait until document verification.
Common errors include: name spelled differently than on your NEET admit card, wrong category marked, wrong college code, or duplicate entries. These must be corrected before verification, or your admission could be rejected.
If you believe an error has been made in the allotment process itself (for example, you were not allotted despite being eligible, or a candidate with a lower rank was allotted ahead of you), KEA may allow you to file an appeal. The appeal process and deadline will be announced separately. Do not assume an error — check the official rules and KEA's announcement first.
- Check your name spelling matches your NEET admit card
- Verify your category is correct
- Confirm your NEET rank and score
- Check the college name and code
- Report any discrepancy to KEA or the college immediately
If You Are Not on the Allotment List
If your name does not appear on the provisional allotment list, it means you were not allotted a seat in this round. This can happen for several reasons: your rank may not have been high enough for any of the colleges you chose, you may not have chosen enough colleges, or all your preferred colleges may have filled their seats with higher-ranked candidates.
Do not panic. KEA typically conducts multiple rounds of counselling. In later rounds, more seats become available (from candidates who did not accept their allotment, or who withdrew). You will be eligible to participate in the next round if you registered for counselling.
If you believe you should have been allotted but were not, check KEA's appeal or grievance process. Some candidates are eligible to appeal if they can prove an error in the allotment algorithm or in their application data. The appeal deadline and process will be announced separately.
- Wait for KEA to announce the next counselling round
- Participate in the next round if you are eligible
- Check if you are eligible to appeal (KEA will announce this)
- Consider management quota or NRI seats if applicable and if you meet the criteria

Documents You Will Need for Verification
When you report to your allotted college for document verification, bring all original documents. The college will check them against the copies you submitted during counselling registration. If originals do not match the copies, or if any document is missing or invalid, your allotment may be cancelled.
Typical documents required include: 10th standard mark sheet, 12th standard mark sheet, NEET UG admit card, NEET UG score card, category certificate (if applicable — SC, ST, OBC, etc.), income certificate (if applicable), and any other document mentioned in the counselling prospectus. Some colleges may ask for additional documents.
Ensure all documents are in good condition, not torn or faded. If a document is damaged, obtain a fresh copy from the issuing authority before verification. Do not rely on photocopies — originals are mandatory.
- 10th standard mark sheet (original)
- 12th standard mark sheet (original)
- NEET UG admit card (original)
- NEET UG score card (original)
- Category certificate if applicable (original)
- Income certificate if applicable (original)
- Any other document specified in the counselling prospectus
Understanding Your Category and Quota
Your allotment is based on your category (General, SC, ST, OBC, etc.) and the quota under which you applied (e.g., Competent Authority Quota — seats filled by the state, or All India Quota — seats filled by the central government). The allotment list will show which category and quota you were allotted under.
If you are allotted under a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC), you must have a valid category certificate issued by the competent authority. The certificate must be in the prescribed format and must clearly state your category and sub-group (if applicable). If your certificate is invalid or missing, your allotment will be cancelled during verification.
Do not assume your category is correct just because you were allotted. Verify it matches your NEET registration and your original certificate. If there is a mismatch, report it immediately to KEA.
- Check which category you were allotted under
- Verify your category certificate is valid and in the prescribed format
- Ensure the category on your certificate matches your NEET registration
- If you are allotted under a reserved category, bring the original certificate to verification
