The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has published the official list of candidates who were allotted seats in NEET UG 2026 Round 2 (for MBBS and BDS courses) but did not pay their admission fee by the deadline. This list is critical: if your name appears on it, your seat has been cancelled and you have lost your position in the counselling process. You must check this list immediately on the official KEA portal to confirm whether you are affected and understand what happens next.
If your name is on this unpaid-fee list, your Round 2 seat has been cancelled — check the KEA portal now to verify your status.

Unlock My College ListWhat This List Means
This is the official record of all candidates who received a seat allotment in NEET UG 2026 Round 2 counselling but failed to pay the admission fee within the prescribed deadline. When a seat is allotted to you, KEA gives you a fixed time window to pay the fee and confirm your admission. If you do not pay by that date, your seat is forfeited and given to the next candidate on the merit list.
Appearing on this list means your Round 2 seat is now cancelled. You will not be admitted to the college that was allotted to you. However, this does not end your counselling journey — depending on KEA's rules, you may be eligible for subsequent rounds (Round 3, mop-up, or spot rounds) if they are conducted, or you may have other options. The key is to act quickly once you confirm your status.
How to Check If Your Name Is on the List
Visit the official KEA counselling portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. Log in with your NEET registration number and password. Navigate to the section for NEET UG 2026 Round 2 results or candidate lists. Download or view the 'Unpaid Fee' or 'Non-Payment' list for your course (MBBS or BDS) and category (General, SC, ST, OBC, etc.).
Search for your name, registration number, or roll number in the list. The list is typically sorted by category and merit rank. If you find your entry, note the allotted college name, course, and seat category. If your name does not appear, it means you either paid the fee on time and your seat is confirmed, or you were not allotted a seat in Round 2.

Why Candidates Appear on This List
Candidates appear on the unpaid-fee list for one reason: they did not pay the admission fee by the deadline set by KEA after their seat was allotted. This can happen for several reasons — the candidate may have missed the deadline, faced a payment issue, decided to withdraw, or simply did not realize the urgency. Regardless of the reason, non-payment results in automatic cancellation of the seat.
It is important to understand that this is not a penalty or a mark against you for future rounds. It is simply a procedural consequence: seats must be filled, and if an allotted candidate does not confirm by paying, the seat moves to the next candidate. Your eligibility for future counselling rounds remains intact.
What Happens If Your Name Is on the List
Your Round 2 seat allotment is cancelled immediately. You will not be admitted to the college that was allotted to you, and you cannot claim that seat. The college will not hold your place, and the seat will be offered to the next eligible candidate on the merit list.
However, your counselling is not over. Depending on the total number of seats and the number of candidates who paid their fees, KEA may conduct additional rounds (Round 3, mop-up round, or spot round). If you remain eligible and wish to participate, you can apply in the next round. You will be considered afresh based on your merit rank and the remaining available seats. It is crucial to stay updated on KEA's announcements for the next round's schedule and application process.
What to Do If Your Name Appears on the List
First, confirm that your name is indeed on the list and note the details of the allotted seat (college, course, category). Then, check KEA's official website and counselling portal for any announcements about the next round of counselling. Read the notification carefully to understand the eligibility criteria, application dates, and fee structure for the next round.
If you wish to participate in the next round, ensure you have all required documents ready (your NEET scorecard, category certificate if applicable, domicile certificate, and any other documents specified by KEA). Mark the application dates on your calendar and submit your application well before the deadline. Do not delay — missing deadlines in counselling can result in losing your seat permanently.

Important: Do Not Ignore This List
If you were allotted a seat in Round 2 and your name appears on this unpaid-fee list, it is a clear signal that something went wrong — either you missed the payment deadline, or there was a technical issue. Do not assume the situation will resolve on its own. Contact KEA's help desk or the counselling cell immediately if you believe there is an error, such as if you paid the fee but your name still appears on the list.
Provide proof of payment (bank receipt, transaction ID, or confirmation email) if you did pay. KEA may be able to correct the record and restore your seat if the payment was genuinely made but not processed. However, if you did miss the deadline, there is no way to recover that seat in Round 2 — your only option is to participate in the next round.
Key Dates and Next Steps
This list was published on 29 September 2026. The exact deadline for fee payment in Round 2 would have been announced in the Round 2 allotment notification (which you should have received when your seat was allotted). If you are unsure of the deadline or your payment status, log into the KEA portal and check your candidate dashboard.
Watch the KEA website and your registered email and phone number for announcements about Round 3 or any subsequent counselling round. These announcements typically include the application start date, last date, and fee payment deadline. Set reminders for all key dates to avoid missing deadlines again.
