The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the mock allotment for NEET-PG 2026 Round 1 counselling, covering MD, MS, and PG Diploma seats across government, private, and deemed medical colleges in the state. This mock result is not final and carries no reporting obligation—it is a planning tool designed to help you test your rank against your preference list and make informed changes before the actual seat allotment. If you registered for the PGET 2026 medical counselling, you now have until November 5, 2026 to review your tentative allotment and modify your college and course choices on the KEA portal. Understanding how to use this mock round strategically can significantly improve your chances of securing a stronger seat in the final allotment.
Use the mock allotment window (open until Nov 5) to review your tentative seat and reorder your college and course preferences strategically before the final Round 1 allotment is declared.

Unlock My College ListWhat Is the Mock Allotment and Why Does It Matter?
The mock allotment released by KEA on November 3, 2026 is a provisional, non-binding preview of how the counselling algorithm would place you based on your current rank and preference list. It is not a final seat assignment, and you are not required to report to any college or pay any fee at this stage. Think of it as a dry run that shows you exactly where you stand in the merit order and which seat the system would assign you under your existing choices.
The primary value of the mock round lies in its diagnostic function. By seeing your tentative allotment, you gain concrete data about your rank's position relative to available seats. This allows you to identify whether your current preference order is optimized or whether you should promote stronger colleges higher on your list, delete unrealistic options, or add new ones. Many candidates discover through the mock result that they are ranked higher than they expected, or that a college they ranked lower is actually within reach. This insight is invaluable for making strategic changes before the final allotment.

Option Modification Window: What You Can Change Until Nov 5
Know the exact MD/MS/DNB seats your rank can get
Official round-wise closing ranks with fee and stipend, matched to your rank.
The option modification window remains open until November 5, 2026 at 11:59 PM (or as specified by KEA). During this period, you have full flexibility to add new college and course combinations to your preference list, delete options you no longer wish to pursue, or reorder your existing choices by priority. This is your opportunity to act on the insights gained from the mock allotment result.
To modify your options, log back into the KEA counselling portal and navigate to the option entry section on your dashboard. You can add fresh combinations, remove colleges or courses that no longer appeal to you, and crucially, reorder your preferences to reflect your true priority. For example, if the mock result shows you are ranked high enough to secure a seat at a college you had ranked lower, you should move that college higher in your list. Conversely, if you realize a particular option is unrealistic, delete it to avoid being locked into an undesirable allotment. Submit your revised option list before the November 5 deadline. Any candidate who does not modify their options will be considered under the same preference list they submitted earlier, and those locked choices will be used for the final Round 1 allotment.
- Log in to KEA counselling portal with your credentials
- Open the option entry section on your dashboard
- Add new college and course combinations if desired
- Delete options you no longer wish to pursue
- Reorder preferences by priority of interest
- Save and submit the revised list before Nov 5, 2026
Strategic Tips for Reordering Your Preferences
The mock allotment is your data point. If you were allotted a seat at College X in your mock result, it means your rank is strong enough to secure that seat in the final round (assuming no significant changes in the merit list). Use this confidence to promote colleges ranked below College X to higher positions if they are your genuine preference. Conversely, if you were allotted a seat at a college lower on your list, it signals that your rank may not be sufficient for colleges ranked higher, so be realistic about which options to retain.
Consider the following strategy: (1) Identify the strongest college in your mock allotment—this is your safety seat. (2) Look at colleges ranked above it in your preference list that did not appear in the mock result—these are likely beyond your rank, so consider whether to keep them or delete them. (3) Identify colleges ranked below your mock allotment that you genuinely prefer—promote these higher if you believe they are within reach. (4) Add new colleges if you discover options you missed during initial choice filling. (5) Ensure your final list flows logically from aspirational to realistic to safe options. Avoid clustering all your choices at one tier; spread them across different college categories and ranks to maximize your chances of a good seat.
What Happens After November 5: Timeline and Next Steps
After the option modification window closes on November 5, 2026, KEA will process all modified preference lists and declare the final Round 1 seat allotment. The exact date for this final allotment has not yet been announced by KEA, but it is typically released within a few days of the modification deadline. Once the final allotment is declared, you will be able to log in to the portal and view your confirmed seat assignment.
Following the final allotment result, KEA will announce the fee payment deadline and reporting schedule. You will be required to pay the admission fee (amount varies by college and course) and report to your allotted college within the stipulated timeframe to confirm your seat. Failure to report on time may result in forfeiture of your seat. Keep your documents (NEET-PG scorecard, MBBS degree certificate, category certificate if applicable, and other required documents) ready well in advance. Watch the KEA portal closely for announcements regarding fee payment and reporting dates.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During Option Modification
One frequent error is failing to modify options at all, assuming the mock allotment is final. This is incorrect—the mock is provisional, and your final allotment depends on your modified preference list. Another mistake is making impulsive changes without analyzing the mock result carefully. Before you modify, spend time understanding what your mock allotment tells you about your rank's position. Do not delete options out of frustration or add options randomly; every change should be deliberate and based on your genuine preference and realistic assessment of your rank.
A third common pitfall is over-optimizing and removing all safe options in pursuit of aspirational colleges. Your preference list should include a mix of colleges at different tiers—some you aspire to, some you are confident about, and some that are realistic backups. If your mock allotment is at a particular college, that college is your safety; do not remove it unless you are certain you have better options. Finally, do not wait until the last moment to modify your options. The portal may experience traffic congestion close to the deadline, and technical issues could prevent you from submitting your changes. Modify your options well before November 5 to avoid any risk of missing the deadline.

Preparing for the Final Allotment and Reporting
While you wait for the final allotment result, use the time to prepare for the next phase. Gather all required documents: your NEET-PG scorecard, MBBS degree certificate, category certificate (if applicable), caste certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, identity proof, and any other documents specified by KEA or your allotted college. Verify that all documents are original or properly attested copies. Check the KEA website and your allotted college's website for any specific document requirements or additional forms that may need to be submitted.
Additionally, research your likely allotted colleges and courses. If your mock allotment was at a particular college, familiarize yourself with that institution's location, hostel facilities, course structure, and any other relevant details. This preparation will help you make an informed decision if you receive multiple allotments in subsequent rounds or if you need to decide whether to accept your allotment or participate in further rounds. Stay alert to KEA announcements regarding fee payment methods, reporting procedures, and any changes to the counselling schedule.
