The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the mock allotment results for NEET-PG 2026 Round 1 counselling, covering MD, MS, and PG Diploma seats across government, private, and deemed medical institutions 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 chosen colleges and courses before the actual seat allotment. You now have a critical window until November 5, 2026 to review your mock result and modify your preferences if needed. Understanding how to use this mock round effectively can significantly improve your chances of securing a better seat in the final allotment.
Use the mock allotment to assess your rank position and reorder your college and course preferences strategically before the November 5 deadline; candidates who do not modify their options will retain their original choices for the final allotment.

Unlock My College ListWhat Is the Mock Allotment and Why Does It Matter?
The mock allotment is a provisional, non-binding preview of how your rank and preferences align with available seats. It shows you which college and course you would receive under your current option list, but it does not obligate you to report or accept that seat. Think of it as a 'what-if' scenario that lets you see the outcome before the stakes become real.
The mock round serves a crucial strategic purpose: it reveals gaps in your option list, shows you whether your preferred colleges are realistic given your rank, and helps you identify opportunities to push stronger seats higher in your preference order. Many candidates discover through the mock result that reordering their choices or adding new options can lead to a significantly better final allotment. This is why the option modification window is your most important opportunity to refine your strategy.

Strategic Tips for Modifying Your Options Effectively
Use the mock result as a diagnostic tool. If you received a college or course you are happy with, you may choose to keep your list as is. However, if the mock result shows a seat you did not expect or reveals that your preferred colleges are out of reach, this is the time to adjust. Review the seat matrix to identify colleges where your rank might secure a better specialty or a more prestigious institution.
Consider adding colleges or courses you initially overlooked but that align with your rank and career goals. Many candidates discover through the mock round that adding a few strategic options—such as a government college in a less competitive specialty or a well-regarded private institution—can lead to a significantly better final outcome. Reorder your list so that your most desired options appear first, followed by progressively safer choices. This ensures that if your rank qualifies for multiple seats, you will be allotted your highest preference.
- Compare your mock result against the seat matrix to identify realistic upgrades
- Add colleges or specialties you initially overlooked but that suit your rank
- Arrange your list from most desired to safest options
- Avoid leaving gaps in your preference order; fill as many slots as possible
- Prioritize government seats if your rank permits, as they typically offer better stipends and prestige
- Include at least a few 'safe' options to ensure you receive a seat in Round 1

What Happens If You Don't Modify Your Options?
If you do not make any changes during the option modification window, your original preference list—the one you submitted during the initial option entry phase—will be used for the final Round 1 allotment. This means your seat will be determined based on your unchanged choices, even if the mock result suggested that a different strategy might have been better.
For this reason, it is strongly recommended that every candidate review their mock result and at least consider whether their original option list remains optimal. Even if you decide not to make changes, this deliberate review ensures you are making an informed choice rather than missing an opportunity to improve your allotment.
Important Reminders Before the November 5 Deadline
Mark November 5, 2026 at 10:00 AM as a hard deadline on your calendar. The option modification window closes at this exact time, and no changes will be accepted after that. Do not wait until the last moment; technical issues, internet delays, or portal congestion can prevent you from submitting your changes in time. Aim to complete your modifications at least a few hours before the deadline.
Ensure you have your CET number, date of birth, and password readily available before you log in. If you have forgotten your password, reset it well in advance so you are not scrambling on the final day. After you submit your modified option list, the portal will display a confirmation message. Take a screenshot or note of this confirmation as proof that your changes were successfully recorded. Keep all documents—your verification slip, mock allotment result, and option modification confirmation—organized and accessible for the reporting stage.
- Deadline: November 5, 2026 at 10:00 AM (no extensions)
- Do not wait until the last hour; submit early to avoid technical issues
- Have your CET number, date of birth, and password ready
- Reset your password in advance if needed
- Take a screenshot of your confirmation after submitting changes

What Comes Next: From Final Allotment to Reporting
After the final Round 1 allotment is published on November 6, 2026 after 11:00 AM, KEA will announce the reporting schedule and instructions. You will be required to report to your allotted college within the specified timeframe, bringing original documents (MBBS degree, NEET-PG scorecard, identity proof, etc.) and paying the admission fee to confirm your seat. Failure to report within the deadline may result in forfeiture of your seat.
If you are not satisfied with your Round 1 allotment, you may have the option to participate in subsequent rounds (Round 2, stray round, etc.), depending on KEA's counselling plan. However, your best opportunity to secure a strong seat is in Round 1, so use the mock allotment and option modification window strategically. Monitor the KEA portal regularly for updates on reporting dates, fee structure, and any changes to the counselling schedule.
- Final allotment: November 6, 2026 after 11:00 AM
- Reporting schedule to be announced shortly after
- Bring original documents and admission fee to report
