Reporting Deadline for Allotted Candidates

Candidates allotted seats in the second stray vacancy round were instructed to complete admission formalities by October 26, 2026, at 6 PM.

Because the deadline falls today, candidates who have not completed their admission should immediately consult the official KEA website and their allotted institution to confirm the current status and whether any further official instruction applies.

Candidates should generally be prepared to present the following documents during admission:

• KEA allotment letter

• Karnataka UGNEET application and registration details

• NEET UG 2026 admit card

• NEET UG 2026 scorecard or rank details

• Class 10 marksheet or certificate

• Class 12 or second PUC marksheet and passing certificate

• Transfer certificate

• Study certificates, where required

• Domicile or residence documents, where applicable

• Caste and income certificates, where applicable

• Rural-study or Kannada-medium certificates, if claiming the relevant reservation or eligibility benefit

• Medical registration or other documents, if specifically required

• Passport-size photographs

• Fee payment receipt and other documents mentioned in the official instructions

This is a general checklist. The exact documents depend on the candidate's eligibility, category, quota and the instructions issued by KEA and the allotted college. Candidates should follow their individual allotment letter and the latest official notice.

275 Seats Reportedly Remained Vacant After Stray Round 2

Even after the second stray vacancy allotment, the reported vacancy list showed 273 MBBS seats and two BDS seats, taking the total number of remaining seats to 275.

KEA announced a separate process for eligible candidates to enter options for the remaining vacancies. The announced deadline for this option entry was October 26, 2026, at 10:30 AM.

This was a separate process from the already published Stray Round 2 allotment. Candidates should not assume that the second stray-round allotment list itself guarantees participation in the subsequent vacancy process.

As the announced option-entry deadline has passed, candidates interested in any further admission opportunity should check the official KEA website for the latest notices, eligibility conditions and any subsequent schedule. They should not rely on an expired deadline or assume that a further round will automatically be conducted.

What Is the Difference Between Stray Round 2 and the Remaining-Vacancy Process?

The distinction is important for candidates following Karnataka NEET UG counselling.

Stray Round 2: This process produced the final allotment list containing 13 MBBS and 12 BDS allocations. Candidates allotted seats were required to complete admission within the notified period.

Remaining-vacancy option entry: After the Stray Round 2 allotment, KEA published information on additional unfilled seats and announced a separate option-entry deadline for eligible candidates. The subsequent allocation process and any further reporting requirements depend on official instructions.

Candidates should use the correct notice for their particular counselling stage and avoid confusing the published result with a separate vacancy process.

Important Instructions for Karnataka NEET UG Candidates

Check the final allotment carefully: Verify your NEET rank, allotted course, college, category and fee before proceeding.

Observe the reporting deadline: The announced reporting deadline for Stray Round 2 allotments was October 26 at 6 PM. Candidates should immediately check the official portal if they have not completed the process.

Keep original documents ready: Admission is subject to verification of the documents and eligibility conditions applicable to the allotted seat.

Verify fees directly: The fee shown in an allotment list should be checked against the candidate's individual allotment letter and official fee instructions.

Monitor further notifications: The remaining-seat process has a separate deadline. Candidates should check KEA notices for any subsequent updates rather than assume that additional option entry remains open.

Use only the official portal: Applicants should avoid unofficial links requesting payment or sensitive personal information.
