The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has published the seat allotment schedule for NEET UG 2026 counselling. This schedule outlines the dates and timeline for the allocation of MBBS and BDS seats across Karnataka medical and dental colleges. The allotment process determines which college and course each qualified candidate will be offered based on their NEET rank, category, and choices. Candidates who have registered for counselling must now check this schedule to understand when their allotment result will be released and what actions they need to take next. Missing any deadline in this schedule could result in losing your seat.
Karnataka KEA has released the NEET UG 2026 seat allotment schedule — check the official portal immediately to know the exact dates for your allotment result and subsequent reporting deadlines.
What is the seat allotment schedule?
The seat allotment schedule is a timetable published by KEA that tells you when your MBBS or BDS seat will be allocated and what you must do after that. It is not your actual allotment result — it is the calendar of events that will happen during the counselling process.
This schedule covers the entire allotment cycle, including when results will be announced, when you must accept or reject your seat, when you must report to your college, and any other important dates. Following this schedule exactly is mandatory — if you miss a deadline, your seat may be cancelled and given to another candidate.
Who needs to check this schedule?
Every candidate who has registered for NEET UG 2026 counselling in Karnataka must check this schedule. This includes candidates applying for MBBS seats, BDS seats, and those eligible under all categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, and others.
If you have completed your NEET registration and submitted your choice of colleges and courses, this schedule applies to you. Even if you are unsure whether you will get a seat, you must bookmark this schedule and check it regularly so you do not miss any deadline.
Where to find the schedule
The seat allotment schedule has been published on the official KEA counselling portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. You can access it using your NEET registration number and password.
The schedule is available in both Kannada and English. Save a copy of this schedule on your phone or print it out so you can refer to it easily. Do not rely on memory or WhatsApp forwards — always check the official portal for the most up-to-date information.
Why this schedule matters right now
The allotment schedule is your roadmap for the next phase of your admission. It tells you exactly when to expect your result, when you must respond to your allotment, and when you must physically report to your college. Missing even one date can mean losing your seat.
Many candidates miss deadlines because they do not check the official schedule and instead rely on rumors or delayed news from friends. By reading this schedule now, you will know every important date and can plan accordingly — take leave from work or college if needed, arrange travel, and prepare your documents in advance.
What happens after allotment?
Once your allotment result is announced on the date specified in the schedule, you will be able to log in to the portal and see which college and course you have been offered. You will then have a limited time (also specified in the schedule) to accept or reject this offer.
If you accept, you must report to your college on the date mentioned in the schedule with all required documents. If you reject, you may be considered for a seat in a subsequent round (if applicable). If you do not respond within the deadline, your seat will be automatically cancelled.
Documents to keep ready
While you wait for your allotment result, start gathering all documents you will need to submit at your college. These typically include your NEET admit card, NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets, transfer certificate, character certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), and medical fitness certificate.
Do not wait until the reporting date to collect these documents. If any document is missing or incorrect, you may not be allowed to join, and your seat could be forfeited. Check with your school and local authorities now to ensure you have everything ready.
- NEET admit card and scorecard
- 10th and 12th mark sheets
- Transfer certificate from your school
- Character certificate
- Caste certificate (if applicable to your category)
- Medical fitness certificate (to be obtained after allotment)
- Passport-size photographs
- Any other document specified in the counselling prospectus
Common mistakes to avoid
The most common mistake is not checking the official schedule and missing a deadline. Candidates often rely on WhatsApp messages or news from friends, which are frequently wrong or delayed. Always check cetonline.karnataka.gov.in directly.
Another mistake is not responding to your allotment within the given time. If you do not accept or reject your seat by the deadline, the system will automatically cancel it. Even if you are unsure, you must log in and take action — silence is treated as rejection.
Do not assume you know which college you will get. Wait for the official allotment result. Do not book travel or make other plans until you have actually received your allotment and confirmed the reporting date.
What if you have questions?
If you have questions about the schedule or the allotment process, contact KEA directly through the official portal or visit their office. Do not rely on coaching centers, agents, or unofficial sources — they often give incorrect information.
The official KEA contact details and helpline number are available on the counselling portal. Keep these handy for any urgent queries.

What is the difference between the seat allotment schedule and the allotment result?
The schedule is a timetable that tells you WHEN things will happen — when the result will be announced, when you must respond, when you must report to college. The allotment result is the actual announcement of which seat you have been offered. The schedule comes first; the result comes later on the date specified in the schedule.
When will I know which college I have been allotted?
The exact date is specified in the seat allotment schedule published by KEA. You must check the official portal to see this date. On that date, you will be able to log in and see your allotment result.
What happens if I miss the deadline to accept or reject my allotment?
If you do not respond within the deadline specified in the schedule, your seat will be automatically cancelled. You will not be considered for any further round. It is critical that you check the portal regularly and respond on time.
Can I change my allotted college or course after accepting it?
The schedule will specify if there are any rounds after the first allotment where you can change your choice. If no further rounds are mentioned, your allotment is final. Always read the complete schedule to understand all available options.
Where exactly do I check the schedule?
Go to cetonline.karnataka.gov.in, log in with your NEET registration number and password, and look for the seat allotment schedule link. It is available in both Kannada and English. Save or print it immediately.
Is this schedule the same for MBBS and BDS candidates?
The schedule may have different dates for different courses or categories. Check the schedule carefully to see if there are separate timelines for MBBS, BDS, or different categories. Do not assume all candidates follow the same dates.
What documents do I need to bring when I report to my college?
The schedule or the counselling prospectus will specify the exact documents required. Generally, you will need your NEET scorecard, mark sheets, transfer certificate, character certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), and medical fitness certificate. Collect these now so you are ready.
Can I get my allotment result before the date mentioned in the schedule?
No. KEA will release the result on the exact date and time specified in the schedule. Checking the portal before that date will not show your result. Do not waste time refreshing the portal — wait for the official announcement date.
What if I do not get a seat in the first allotment?
The schedule will mention if there are subsequent rounds of allotment. If you are not allotted in the first round, you may be considered in the next round based on the schedule. Read the complete schedule to understand all rounds and their dates.
Is the schedule available in English?
Yes, the schedule is available in both Kannada and English on the official KEA portal. You can download or view it in your preferred language.
Check the Karnataka KEA counselling portal (cetonline.karnataka.gov.in) immediately and download the seat allotment schedule. Read it carefully, note all important dates, and set reminders on your phone for each deadline. Do not miss any date — your seat depends on it. Start gathering your documents now so you are ready to report to your college as soon as your allotment is announced.
