The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has published the final seat allotment list for the first round of NEET UG 2026 medical counselling. This list shows which candidates have been allotted seats in MBBS and BDS colleges across Karnataka, and which college and course each candidate has been assigned. Every candidate who participated in the first round counselling must check this list immediately to confirm their allotment status. If you have been allotted a seat, you must complete the admission formalities — including document verification and fee payment — by the deadline set by KEA. If you have not been allotted a seat, you may be eligible for the next round of counselling.
The final first-round seat allotment list for NEET UG 2026 medical counselling in Karnataka is now live — check your allotment status at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in immediately.
What is this allotment list?
This is the official final seat allotment result for the first round of NEET UG 2026 counselling conducted by KEA for medical (MBBS) and dental (BDS) courses in Karnataka. The list contains the names, roll numbers, and allotted colleges and courses for all candidates who have been assigned seats in this round.
The allotment is based on your NEET UG 2026 rank, the category (General, SC, ST, OBC, etc.) you applied under, the college preferences you submitted during counselling registration, and the availability of seats in each college and course. Candidates are allotted seats in order of merit within each category, subject to their preferences and seat availability.
How to check your allotment status
Visit the official KEA counselling portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. Log in using your NEET UG 2026 registration number and password. Navigate to the allotment result section and search for your name or roll number.
The list will show your allotted college name, course (MBBS or BDS), and seat category. If your name appears on the list, you have been allotted a seat. If your name does not appear, you have not been allotted in this round and may be eligible for the next round (if announced).
Keep a screenshot or printout of your allotment result for your records. You will need this document during admission reporting and document verification at your allotted college.
What to do if you have been allotted a seat
If your name appears on the allotment list, you must act immediately. KEA will announce a deadline by which you must report to your allotted college for document verification and admission confirmation. Missing this deadline will result in your seat being cancelled and offered to the next candidate.
Prepare all required documents — your NEET UG admit card, mark sheet, 10th and 12th certificates, caste certificate (if applicable), income certificate (if applicable), medical fitness certificate, and any other documents specified by KEA in the counselling prospectus. Arrive at your allotted college on or before the reporting deadline with all original documents and one set of photocopies.
After document verification, you will be asked to pay the admission fee and complete the enrolment process. The fee amount and payment method will be communicated by your college. Once you have paid the fee and completed enrolment, your seat is confirmed and you can begin your course.
- Check the allotment list immediately
- Note your allotted college, course, and reporting deadline
- Gather all required documents
- Report to your college by the deadline
- Complete document verification and fee payment
- Obtain your admission confirmation letter
What to do if you have NOT been allotted a seat
If your name does not appear on the first-round allotment list, it means no seat matching your preferences and eligibility was available in this round. This does not mean you cannot get a seat — KEA typically conducts multiple rounds of counselling to fill all available seats.
Wait for KEA to announce the second round of counselling. In the second round, you will have another opportunity to participate, submit fresh preferences, and be considered for allotment. Seats that were not filled in the first round, plus seats vacated by candidates who did not report or did not pay fees, will be available in the second round.
Do not assume you are ineligible. Many candidates get seats in later rounds. Keep checking the KEA website for announcements about the next round's registration and counselling dates.
- Your name not appearing does not mean rejection
- Wait for the second round announcement
- Register and participate in the next round
- Submit fresh preferences if allowed
- Check the KEA website regularly for updates
Important dates and deadlines
The allotment list has been published on 28 August 2026. KEA will announce the reporting deadline (the date by which allotted candidates must report to their college) separately. This deadline is usually 3–5 days after the allotment list is published, but you must check the KEA website or your college's notice for the exact date.
Do not miss the reporting deadline. If you do not report by the deadline, your seat will be cancelled automatically, even if you have a valid reason. If you have a genuine emergency and cannot report on time, contact your allotted college immediately to request an extension — but do not rely on this; it is better to report on time.
After the reporting deadline, KEA will announce the dates for the next round of counselling (if applicable). Keep checking cetonline.karnataka.gov.in for all announcements.
- Allotment list published: 28 August 2026
- Reporting deadline: to be announced by KEA (check your college's notice)
- Next round dates: to be announced
Documents you must carry to your college
When you report to your allotted college, bring all original documents and one set of photocopies. The college will verify your documents against the information you provided during counselling registration. If any document is missing or does not match, your admission may be delayed or rejected.
The exact list of required documents is specified in the KEA NEET UG 2026 counselling prospectus. Common documents include your NEET UG admit card, NEET UG mark sheet, 10th standard certificate, 12th standard certificate, caste certificate (if you applied under SC/ST/OBC), income certificate (if applicable), medical fitness certificate, and passport-size photographs. Some colleges may ask for additional documents — check your college's website or the admission notice for the complete list.
- NEET UG admit card (original + photocopy)
- NEET UG mark sheet (original + photocopy)
- 10th standard certificate (original + photocopy)
- 12th standard certificate (original + photocopy)
- Caste certificate, if applicable (original + photocopy)
- Income certificate, if applicable (original + photocopy)
- Medical fitness certificate (original + photocopy)
- Passport-size photographs (as per college requirement)
- Any other document specified by KEA or your college
Understanding your allotment: category and seat type
Your allotment will show the seat category under which you have been allotted — for example, General, SC, ST, OBC, or a sub-category like OBC-A or OBC-B (if applicable in Karnataka). This is the category under which you registered during counselling. The seat category determines your eligibility and the college's obligation to admit you.
The allotment will also show the seat type — for example, whether it is a government college seat, a private college seat, or a management quota seat. Different seat types may have different fee structures and admission rules. Check your college's prospectus to understand the fee and other terms for your seat type.
If you believe there is an error in your allotment — for example, you were allotted under the wrong category or to the wrong college — contact KEA immediately. Do not report to the college if you believe there is an error; instead, file a complaint with KEA first.
- Check the category under which you were allotted
- Verify the seat type (government, private, management quota)
- Confirm the college name and course
- Report any errors to KEA before reporting to the college
What happens if you do not report or do not pay the fee?
If you have been allotted a seat but do not report to your college by the deadline, your seat will be cancelled automatically. You will not be able to claim it later, and it will be offered to the next candidate in the merit list.
Similarly, if you report to the college but do not pay the admission fee by the deadline set by the college, your seat will be cancelled. The college will then offer the seat to the next eligible candidate.
If you are allotted a seat but decide you do not want it (for example, because you got a better seat in another state or you have decided not to pursue medicine), you must formally withdraw from the counselling. Contact KEA or your college to understand the withdrawal process. Withdrawing formally is important because it allows your seat to be offered to another candidate and may help you in future counselling rounds.
- Not reporting by the deadline = automatic seat cancellation
- Not paying the fee by the deadline = automatic seat cancellation
- If you do not want the seat, withdraw formally
- Do not simply ignore the allotment

How do I check if I have been allotted a seat?
Visit cetonline.karnataka.gov.in, log in with your NEET UG 2026 registration number and password, and search for your name or roll number in the allotment result section. If your name appears, you have been allotted a seat; if not, you have not been allotted in this round.
What does it mean if my name is not on the allotment list?
It means no seat matching your preferences and eligibility was available in the first round. You are not rejected — you will have another chance in the second round of counselling. Wait for KEA to announce the next round and register again.
What is the deadline to report to my allotted college?
KEA will announce the reporting deadline separately after the allotment list is published. This is usually 3–5 days after the allotment date. Check the KEA website and your college's notice for the exact deadline. Do not miss it — if you do not report by the deadline, your seat will be cancelled.
What documents do I need to bring when I report to my college?
Bring all original documents and one set of photocopies, including your NEET UG admit card, mark sheet, 10th and 12th certificates, caste certificate (if applicable), income certificate (if applicable), medical fitness certificate, and passport-size photographs. Check your college's admission notice for the complete list.
Can I change my allotted college or course?
No, you cannot change your allotment in the first round. Your allotment is final based on your rank, category, preferences, and seat availability. If you do not want the seat, you can withdraw formally. In the next round, you can submit different preferences and may be allotted a different college or course.
What if I have been allotted a seat but I want to participate in counselling in another state?
You must formally withdraw from Karnataka counselling before the reporting deadline. Contact KEA or your allotted college to understand the withdrawal process. If you do not withdraw and do not report, your seat will be cancelled automatically, but you may face issues in future counselling rounds.
What is the admission fee, and when do I have to pay it?
The admission fee amount and payment deadline will be communicated by your allotted college. This information is usually provided in the college's admission notice or when you report for document verification. Pay the fee by the deadline to confirm your seat.
Can I get a seat in the second round if I was not allotted in the first round?
Yes, most candidates who were not allotted in the first round get seats in the second round. Seats that were not filled in the first round, plus seats vacated by candidates who did not report or did not pay fees, will be available in the second round. Wait for KEA to announce the next round and register again.
What if there is an error in my allotment (wrong category, wrong college, etc.)?
Contact KEA immediately and file a complaint. Do not report to the college if you believe there is an error. KEA will investigate and correct the error if it is valid. Keep all your counselling registration documents and correspondence with KEA as proof.
Can I defer my admission to the next year if I have been allotted a seat?
This depends on the college's policy and KEA's rules. Some colleges may allow deferment, but it is not guaranteed. Contact your allotted college directly to ask about deferment options. If deferment is not allowed and you do not want to join this year, you will have to withdraw and reapply next year.
