The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the final seat allotment results for Round 2 of NEET UG counselling for MBBS and BDS programmes on September 16, 2026. If you applied for seats and submitted objections to the provisional allotment list, your final allocation is now live on the official portal. This is a critical moment: you have just four days to pay your seat confirmation fee and three days after that to physically report to your allotted college. Missing these deadlines could result in forfeiture of your seat.
Download your final seat allotment letter immediately from cetonline.karnataka.gov.in, pay the prescribed fee by September 19, and report to your college by September 21 to secure your MBBS or BDS admission.
What Happened: Round 2 Final Allotment Released
The Karnataka Examinations Authority published the final seat allotment results for Round 2 of NEET UG counselling on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at 2 PM. This followed a review of all objections that candidates had submitted against the provisional allotment list, which was released earlier. The final list now reflects any corrections or changes made in response to those objections.
The allotment covers both medical (MBBS) and dental (BDS) programmes across government and private colleges in Karnataka. Candidates who participated in the counselling process and were eligible for seat allocation will find their names and college assignments on the official KEA website.

This means you have only two additional days after the fee payment deadline to travel to your college and complete the reporting process. Failure to report by this date will result in automatic cancellation of your seat, and it will be offered to the next candidate in the merit list. There is no grace period or extension for this deadline.
- Fee payment deadline: September 16–19, 2026 (within banking hours)
- College reporting deadline: September 21, 2026 by 5 PM
- Bring your seat confirmation slip when you report to college
- Missing either deadline results in seat cancellation

What This Means for Your MBBS or BDS Admission
This final allotment is the outcome of the entire counselling process. If your name appears in the list, you have been assigned a specific seat in a specific college for either MBBS or BDS. The college, course, and seat category (general, reserved, or management quota) are now fixed. You cannot change your college or course at this stage; your only choice is to accept the allotment or forfeit it.
The allotment is based on your NEET UG rank, your choice of colleges and courses during counselling, and the availability of seats. If you do not appear in the final list, it means either no seat matching your preferences and eligibility was available in Round 2, or you were not eligible for the seats that were available. In such cases, you may be considered in subsequent rounds of counselling if they are conducted.
What Happens After You Report to College
Once you report to your allotted college by the deadline with your seat confirmation slip, the college will verify your documents and complete the final admission formalities. You will be required to submit your original certificates (10th, 12th, NEET admit card, NEET result, caste certificate if applicable, and other relevant documents as per college requirements). The college will also collect your fees for the academic year.
After document verification and fee payment, you will be officially enrolled as a student of that college for the MBBS or BDS programme. Your admission will be confirmed in the college's records, and you can begin attending classes as per the college's academic calendar. Failure to report or incomplete documentation can still lead to cancellation of your seat even after the allotment.
If You Don't See Your Name in the Final List
If your name does not appear in the Round 2 final allotment, it does not necessarily mean your counselling is over. The KEA typically conducts multiple rounds of counselling to fill all available seats. Candidates who were not allotted seats in Round 2 are usually considered in subsequent rounds based on their rank and preferences.
Keep monitoring the KEA website for announcements about Round 3 or further rounds. The schedule for the next round will be published on cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. If you wish to participate in the next round, ensure you update your choice of colleges and courses if needed and remain ready to complete the admission process within the announced deadlines.
Important Documents to Carry When Reporting to College
When you report to your allotted college, bring all original documents along with photocopies. The college will verify your eligibility and authenticity of your qualifications. Missing or incorrect documents can delay your admission or, in some cases, lead to cancellation.
Essential documents include your NEET admit card, NEET result scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, caste certificate (if applicable), income certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and any other document specified by the college in its admission guidelines. Also carry your seat confirmation slip and proof of fee payment. Check your college's website or the allotment letter for a complete list of required documents.
- NEET admit card and result scorecard
- 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates
- Caste certificate (if applicable)
- Income certificate (if applicable)
- Domicile certificate
- Seat confirmation slip
- Proof of fee payment
- Any other document specified by your college
Practical Tips to Avoid Last-Minute Stress
Start the download and fee payment process as soon as possible—do not wait until the last day. The portal may experience high traffic as the deadline approaches, which could cause delays or technical issues. Completing these steps early gives you a buffer in case you encounter any problems.
Arrange your travel to the college well in advance. If your allotted college is in a different city, book your tickets and accommodation now. Plan to arrive at the college at least a day before the reporting deadline so that you have time to complete the admission process without rushing. Confirm the exact location and reporting time with the college by calling or visiting their website.
