The final seat allotment marks an important stage in the Karnataka UG NEET 2026 counselling process.

KEA UG NEET 2026 Round 1 Final Seat Allotment: Major Update
The Karnataka Examinations Authority has finalised the Round 1 allotment process for eligible candidates seeking admission to undergraduate medical and dental programmes.
The final allotment has been issued after the earlier provisional allotment stage and the opportunity provided to candidates to raise objections regarding discrepancies. Candidates are advised to carefully review their final allotment status before taking further action.
The allotment process covers eligible admissions to:
- MBBS – Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery
- BDS – Bachelor of Dental Surgery
Candidates should note that the final allotment result is a significant step towards securing admission and must be followed by the applicable post-allotment procedures.
Candidates Must Check Their Allotted Seat Carefully
Candidates who participated in Round 1 should check the final allotment details carefully. The allotment information may include important details relating to:
- Candidate details
- Allotted course
- Allotted college
- Seat category or quota
- Counselling and allotment status
- Applicable admission instructions
Candidates should carefully verify all the information displayed in their allotment result and retain a copy of the relevant documents for future use during the admission process.
Choice Selection After Round 1 Allotment
After the announcement of the final Round 1 seat allotment, candidates allotted seats are required to follow the prescribed choice selection procedure.
The choice selected by a candidate after allotment is important because it determines the subsequent action to be taken regarding the allotted seat and further participation in the counselling process.
Candidates should therefore read the detailed counselling instructions carefully before making their selection.
Applicants are advised not to make a choice without understanding its implications for admission confirmation, retention of the allotted seat or participation in subsequent counselling rounds.
Fee Payment for Allotted Candidates

College Reporting and Admission Formalities
After completing the required choice selection and fee payment procedures, eligible candidates will need to complete the reporting process at their allotted institution as per the prescribed schedule.
Candidates should report to the allotted college with the required original documents and other relevant certificates.
The admission process may involve verification of documents and completion of institutional formalities.
Candidates are advised to ensure that all required certificates are valid and available before reporting to the college.

Importance of Meeting the Deadlines
