The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) Kerala has released the provisional seat allotment for Round 3 of NEET UG counselling on October 8, 2026. This round covers state quota MBBS and BDS positions in government colleges and self-financing medical and dental institutions across Kerala. If you have been waiting for your seat assignment, you now have a narrow window to verify your allotment, raise any errors, and prepare for college reporting. Missing the reporting deadline will result in loss of your seat, so understanding the timeline and process is critical.
Check your provisional allotment immediately, raise objections by noon on October 9 if needed, and report to your allotted college between October 10–14 to confirm your MBBS or BDS seat.

Unlock My College ListWhat Was Released and When
On October 8, 2026, CEE Kerala published the provisional allotment list for Round 3 of NEET UG counselling. This list assigns state quota MBBS and BDS seats across government medical and dental colleges, as well as seats in the state pool of self-financing institutions. The provisional allotment is the authority's initial assignment based on your rank, category, and the options you submitted during the option entry window.
The list is available as a PDF on the official CEE Kerala portal at cee.kerala.gov.in. You do not need to log in to download and view the public document. Your name and allotted college, course, and category will appear in this list if you are eligible and have been assigned a seat in this round.
How to Check Your Provisional Allotment
To locate your seat assignment, visit cee.kerala.gov.in and navigate to the KEAM 2026 section. Open the Round 3 provisional allotment notification and download the PDF file titled 'MBBS and BDS Phase 3 Provisional Allotment.' Search for your roll number or application number within the document using your browser's search function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F).
Once you find your entry, verify three key details: the name of your allotted college, the course (MBBS or BDS), and your assigned category (general, OBC, SC, ST, or other). Save a copy of the PDF to your device for reference during the reporting process and to have proof of your allotment.
The Objection Window: Your Chance to Flag Errors
If you notice any discrepancy in your allotment—such as an incorrect college, wrong course, mismatched category, or wrong fee category—you have until 12 noon on October 9, 2026 to raise an objection. This is a short window, so act quickly if you spot an error. Common issues include a college that does not match your preference order, a course you did not apply for, or a category mismatch.

To submit an objection, log into the KEAM 2026 portal using your application number and password. Navigate to the Round 3 provisional allotment section, review your assigned seat against your submitted options and rank, and submit your grievance online with supporting details before the noon deadline. The CEE will review valid objections and incorporate corrections into the final allotment list, which will be published later on October 9.

- Open the Round 3 provisional allotment section
- Compare your allotted seat with your submitted options and rank
- Submit the objection with clear supporting details
- Ensure submission is completed before 12:00 noon on October 9
Final Allotment and What Happens Next
After the objection window closes at noon on October 9, CEE Kerala will process all valid grievances and publish the final Round 3 allotment list later the same day. This final list is binding and will show your confirmed seat assignment. Once the final list is out, you must prepare to report to your allotted college.
The college reporting window runs from October 10 to October 14, 2026, and closes at 4:00 PM on the last day. Any candidate who fails to report within this window will have their seat cancelled, and they will lose their place in the counselling cycle. This is the last round of seat allocation for most state quota MBBS and BDS positions in Kerala, so reporting on time is essential.
Documents and Fees You Must Bring to College
When you report to your allotted college, bring all original certificates and documents. These typically include your NEET admit card, mark sheet, 10th and 12th certificates, category certificate (if applicable), caste certificate (if applicable), and a valid photo identity such as an Aadhaar card, passport, or driving licence. The college will verify these documents before confirming your admission.
You will also need to pay the required fee for your course and category. The exact fee amount depends on whether you have been allotted a government or self-financing seat, and your category. Confirm the fee structure with your allotted college before reporting so you can arrange the payment in advance. Failure to pay the fee or submit documents on time may result in cancellation of your seat.

Why This Round Matters for Your MBBS or BDS Admission
Round 3 is typically the final round of seat allocation for state quota MBBS and BDS positions in Kerala. If you do not secure a seat in this round, you may not get another opportunity to claim a government or state-pool seat in the current counselling cycle. Choices from earlier rounds do not carry forward to Round 3, so every candidate starts fresh with their preferences in this round.
This makes reporting on time non-negotiable. A missed reporting deadline is not recoverable—your seat will be cancelled, and you will lose your chance at a government medical or dental college seat this year. If you are allotted a seat in Round 3, treat the reporting window as your final and most critical deadline.
What to Do If You Are Not Allotted a Seat
If your name does not appear in the provisional allotment list, it means you have not been assigned a seat in Round 3. This can happen if your rank is below the cutoff for your category and preferred colleges, or if no seat matching your preferences was available. In this case, monitor the CEE Kerala portal for any stray vacancy notices, which may be released after the reporting window closes.
Stray vacancies occur when allotted candidates do not report or withdraw from their seats. If a vacancy arises in a college or course you are interested in, you may be offered a seat in a subsequent stray round. Keep checking the official portal and ensure your contact details are up to date so you do not miss any communication from CEE Kerala.

Is Round 3 the last round of NEET UG counselling in Kerala?
Round 3 is typically the final round of regular seat allocation for state quota MBBS and BDS positions in Kerala. Choices from earlier rounds do not carry forward to Round 3. After Round 3, stray vacancy rounds may be conducted if seats remain unfilled, but these are not guaranteed and depend on reporting and withdrawals.
What should I do if my name does not appear in the provisional allotment list?
If you are not allotted a seat in Round 3, monitor the CEE Kerala portal for stray vacancy notices. Stray vacancies may arise if allotted candidates do not report or withdraw. Keep your contact details updated with CEE Kerala so you receive any communication about future vacancy rounds.
Can I change my allotted college or course after the final allotment is published?
No. The final allotment is binding. You must report to the college and course assigned to you. If you believe there is an error in your allotment, you must raise an objection before 12:00 noon on October 9. After the final list is published, changes are not permitted.
Check your provisional allotment on the CEE Kerala portal immediately, raise any objections by noon on October 9 if needed, and prepare all required documents and fees for college reporting between October 10 and 14. Missing the reporting deadline will result in permanent loss of your seat, so mark these dates and act promptly.
