The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the first round seat allotment results for NEET UG 2026 MBBS and BDS admissions. This result shows which college and course each candidate has been allotted based on their NEET rank, category, and the choices they submitted during counselling registration. Candidates who participated in the first round of counselling must now check the official KEA portal to see their allotment status. If you have been allotted a seat, you will need to report to your college and complete admission formalities within the deadline set by KEA. This is a critical step — missing the reporting deadline can result in forfeiture of your seat.
KEA has published the first round MBBS/BDS seat allotment results for NEET UG 2026 — check your allotment immediately at the official portal.
What is the First Round Seat Allotment Result?
The first round seat allotment result is the official list of seats assigned to candidates who registered for NEET UG 2026 counselling in Karnataka. KEA uses your NEET rank, your category (General, SC, ST, OBC, etc.), your quota eligibility (state quota, all-India quota, management quota, or other), and your choice of colleges and courses to decide which seat you receive.
This result applies to MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) courses across government and private medical and dental colleges in Karnataka. The allotment is based on merit — candidates with higher NEET ranks are allotted seats first, and within each rank band, seats are distributed according to the choices you made during registration.
How to Check Your Allotment Result
You must check your allotment status on the official KEA counselling portal. Visit the portal using your registration number and password — the same credentials you used to register for counselling. The portal will display your allotted college name, course (MBBS or BDS), seat category, and any other relevant details.
If you cannot access the portal or forget your password, contact KEA's help desk or visit the official website for support. Do not rely on unofficial sources, social media, or third-party websites to check your result — always use the official KEA portal only.
- Go to the official KEA counselling portal
- Log in with your registration number and password
- Navigate to the first round allotment result section
- View your allotted college, course, and seat details
- Download and save your allotment letter for your records
What If You Have Been Allotted a Seat?
If your name appears in the allotment result with a college and course assigned, you have been successfully allotted a seat in the first round. You must now report to your allotted college within the deadline announced by KEA. Reporting means visiting the college in person, submitting your original documents, paying the admission fee, and completing all formalities required by the college.
Failure to report by the deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your seat, and you will not be eligible for further rounds of counselling. Even if you are unsure about accepting the seat, you must report on time — you can always withdraw later if you wish to participate in subsequent rounds, but only if you report first.
- Note the reporting deadline from the official KEA notification
- Gather all required original documents (NEET admit card, mark sheet, category certificate, domicile certificate, etc.)
- Visit your allotted college on or before the deadline
- Complete admission formalities and pay the fee
- Obtain your admission confirmation letter from the college
What If You Have Not Been Allotted a Seat?
If your name does not appear in the first round allotment result, it means no seat matching your rank, category, and choices was available in this round. This does not mean you will not get a seat — KEA conducts multiple rounds of counselling. In subsequent rounds, more seats become available as candidates who were allotted in earlier rounds either report or withdraw.
You will be eligible to participate in the next round of counselling. KEA will announce the dates and process for the second round separately. Keep checking the official portal for announcements about the next round and any changes to the counselling schedule.
- Do not panic — multiple rounds of counselling are conducted
- Wait for the announcement of the second round
- Ensure your registration details remain correct on the portal
- Participate in the next round if you wish to continue
- Check the portal regularly for updates
Important Dates and Deadlines
KEA will announce the reporting deadline for the first round allotment separately. This deadline is typically a few days after the result is published. You must report to your college on or before this date — no extensions are granted. After the reporting deadline, KEA will announce the dates for the second round of counselling.
Mark all important dates on your calendar and set reminders. Missing a deadline can cost you your seat. If you have a genuine emergency that prevents you from reporting on time, contact KEA immediately — but note that extensions are rarely granted and only in exceptional circumstances.
- First round allotment result: published (check portal now)
- Reporting deadline: to be announced by KEA
- Second round counselling dates: to be announced by KEA
- Check the official portal daily for updates
Documents You Will Need to Report to College
When you report to your allotted college, you must bring all original documents. The college will verify these documents against your application and the allotment letter. If any document is missing or does not match your application, your admission may be delayed or rejected.
Prepare a complete set of documents well in advance. Make photocopies of each document for your own records. Do not send documents by post or courier — you must present them in person at the college during the reporting period.
- NEET UG 2026 admit card (original)
- NEET UG 2026 mark sheet / score card (original)
- 10th standard mark sheet or certificate (original)
- 12th standard mark sheet or certificate (original)
- Category certificate (if applicable — SC, ST, OBC, etc.)
- Domicile certificate (proof of Karnataka residence)
- Aadhar card or PAN card (identity proof)
- Passport-size photographs (as per college requirement)
- Allotment letter from KEA (printed from portal)
- Any other document specified by your college
Quota and Category Information
The first round allotment includes seats across all quotas and categories recognized by Karnataka and the Government of India. These include state quota seats (filled by KEA), all-India quota seats (filled by the Medical Counselling Committee), management quota seats (filled by private colleges), and seats reserved for SC, ST, OBC, and other categories.
Your allotment is based on your category and quota eligibility as declared in your NEET application and verified by KEA. If you believe there is an error in your category or quota status, contact KEA immediately — do not wait until after reporting. Errors in category can affect your entire admission.
- State quota: seats filled by KEA through this counselling
- All-India quota: seats filled by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC)
- Management quota: seats filled by private colleges directly
- Reserved seats: for SC, ST, OBC, and other categories as per government rules
- Verify your category and quota status on the portal before reporting
Common Mistakes That Get Admissions Rejected
Many candidates lose their seats after allotment due to preventable mistakes. The most common error is missing the reporting deadline — even by one day. Another frequent mistake is bringing photocopies instead of original documents, or bringing documents that do not match the application (e.g., a category certificate issued after the NEET exam date, or a domicile certificate from a different state).
Some candidates report to the wrong college or bring incomplete documents and assume they can submit them later — colleges will not hold seats for incomplete admissions. Others fail to pay the admission fee on time or do not understand the college's specific requirements. Read the college's admission guidelines carefully and follow them exactly.
- ⚠️ Missing the reporting deadline — even by one day — results in automatic seat cancellation
- ⚠️ Bringing photocopies instead of original documents — colleges will reject the application
- ⚠️ Category certificate issued after the NEET exam date — not valid
- ⚠️ Domicile certificate from a state other than Karnataka — not valid for state quota
- ⚠️ Not paying the admission fee on time — seat may be cancelled
- ⚠️ Reporting to the wrong college — your seat will be cancelled
- ⚠️ Incomplete documents — college will not hold your seat
What Happens After You Report?
Once you report to your college and complete all admission formalities, you are officially admitted to that course at that college. The college will issue you an admission confirmation letter and a student ID. You will then be enrolled in the course and can begin attending classes as per the college's academic calendar.
If you report but later decide you do not want to continue, you can withdraw your admission — but this must be done formally through the college and KEA. Withdrawing after reporting may affect your eligibility for future rounds of counselling, so think carefully before reporting.
- College verifies your documents
- You pay the admission fee
- College issues admission confirmation letter
- You receive your student ID
- You are enrolled in the course
- You can begin attending classes as per the college's schedule

What should I do if I have been allotted a seat?
You must report to your allotted college within the deadline announced by KEA. Bring all original documents (NEET admit card, mark sheet, category certificate, domicile certificate, etc.), complete admission formalities, and pay the admission fee. Failure to report by the deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your seat.
What if I have not been allotted a seat in the first round?
It means no seat matching your rank, category, and choices was available in this round. You will be eligible to participate in the second round of counselling. KEA will announce the dates for the next round separately. Keep checking the official portal for updates.
What documents do I need to bring when I report to college?
Bring all original documents: NEET admit card, NEET mark sheet, 10th and 12th mark sheets, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, identity proof (Aadhar or PAN), passport-size photographs, and the allotment letter from KEA. Check your college's website for any additional requirements.
Can I report to college after the deadline?
No. KEA's reporting deadline is strict — missing it by even one day will result in automatic cancellation of your seat. You will not be eligible for further rounds of counselling if you miss the deadline. Mark the date on your calendar and plan to report well in advance.
What if my category or quota status is wrong in the allotment?
Contact KEA immediately. Do not wait until after reporting. Errors in category or quota can affect your entire admission. KEA will investigate and correct the error if it is genuine. Provide all supporting documents to KEA to prove your correct category or quota status.
Can I withdraw my seat after reporting to college?
Yes, you can withdraw formally through the college and KEA. However, withdrawing after reporting may affect your eligibility for future rounds of counselling. Think carefully before reporting — only report if you are reasonably sure you want to accept the seat.
What if I bring photocopies instead of original documents?
Colleges will not accept photocopies — you must bring original documents. If you bring only photocopies, your admission will be rejected and your seat will be cancelled. Always bring original documents to the college during the reporting period.
When will the second round of counselling be announced?
KEA will announce the dates for the second round separately after the first round reporting deadline. Keep checking the official portal for updates. The exact dates will be published on the KEA website and the counselling portal.
Can I report to a different college than the one allotted to me?
No. You must report to the college allotted to you in the result. Reporting to a different college will not be recognized by KEA, and your seat will be cancelled. If you do not want the allotted seat, you can choose not to report and participate in the next round instead.
Check your allotment result immediately on the official KEA counselling portal using your registration number and password. If you have been allotted a seat, note the reporting deadline carefully and gather all required original documents. Report to your college on or before the deadline with all documents to secure your admission. If you have not been allotted a seat, wait for the announcement of the second round and continue to check the portal for updates. Do not delay — missing any deadline can cost you your seat.
