What is this allotment list?
This is the official first round seat allotment result published by KEA for NEET UG 2026 medical courses in Karnataka. It contains the names and details of all candidates who have been allotted seats in MBBS and BDS programmes across government and private medical colleges in the state.
The allotment has been made based on your NEET rank, the category (General, SC, ST, OBC, etc.) you applied under, your merit position, and the college and course choices you selected during the counselling registration process. Candidates are allotted seats in order of merit within each category.
Who should check this list?
Every candidate who registered for NEET UG 2026 counselling in Karnataka and submitted their choice of colleges and courses should check this allotment list. This includes candidates applying under all categories — General, SC, ST, OBC, and any other category recognized by KEA.
Even if you are unsure whether you will be allotted a seat, you must check the list. Your name may appear if your rank falls within the cutoff for any of the colleges and courses you chose.

What does the allotment list show?
The allotment list is a large table containing the names, NEET registration numbers, ranks, categories, and allotted colleges and courses of all candidates who have been offered seats in the first round. It is organized by merit rank within each category.
For each allotted candidate, the list shows: the candidate's name, registration number, NEET rank, category, the college allotted, the course (MBBS or BDS), and the seat type (General, SC, ST, OBC, etc.). This information is essential for you to know where you have been allotted and what to do next.
What if your name is on the list?
If your name appears on the allotment list, you have been offered a seat in the college and course shown against your name. You must now proceed to the admission process. KEA will announce the deadline by which you must report to your allotted college, pay the admission fee, and complete the admission formalities (document verification, hostel registration, etc.).
Do not delay — missing the deadline will result in your seat being cancelled and offered to the next candidate on the waitlist. Check the KEA website regularly for the exact date and time by which you must complete admission at your college.
- Note your allotted college and course immediately
- Check KEA's website for the admission deadline
- Prepare all required documents for verification
- Report to your college on or before the deadline
- Pay the admission fee as instructed by the college
What if your name is NOT on the list?
If your name does not appear on the first round allotment list, it means you have not been allotted a seat in this round. This does not mean you will not get a seat — KEA conducts multiple rounds of counselling and allotment. You may be eligible for the second round, third round, or a waitlist depending on your rank and the availability of seats.
Check the KEA website for the schedule of subsequent rounds and any waitlist notifications. If you are placed on a waitlist, you may be called for admission in a later round if a seat becomes available. Continue to monitor the official portal for updates.

- Be ready to complete admission if called in a later round
- Do not assume you will not get a seat — multiple rounds are held
