Karnataka AYUSH UG 2026 round 1 mock allotment released; option entry open until October 14

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) released the Round 1 mock allotment result for Undergraduate AYUSH (UGAYUSH) 2026 on October 12, 2026. This mock allotment serves as a trial run, allowing candidates to assess their potential seat allocation before the final Round 1 results.

Candidates eligible for UGAYUSH 2026 Round 1, who have registered and completed document verification, can continue to modify their option entries until October 14, 2026. The state-level counselling for MBBS, BDS, and AYUSH seats in Karnataka is managed by KEA, distinct from the All India Quota counselling conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).

Timeline for AYUSH UG 2026 Round 1 Counselling

The KEA initiated the first round seat allotment process for Ayurveda and Homeopathy degree courses for 2026 by issuing a notice on October 6, 2026. Option entry for this round began on October 7, 2026, at 2:00 pm, and the initial deadline for submission was October 12, 2026, at 11:00 am. The government has also released the seat matrix and fee structure for the 2026-27 academic year.

Candidates who have already secured admission to other colleges will have their previous seats automatically cancelled if they are allotted a seat in this AYUSH round. Additionally, fees paid for other courses will not be adjusted, requiring candidates to pay fees again for an AYUSH seat. Those who have joined medical colleges or were allotted medical seats in the 3rd round are not eligible to participate in this AYUSH round.

This AYUSH counselling follows earlier rounds for other courses. The KEA had released the Karnataka NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Final Allotment on August 28, 2026, which included 11,874 MBBS seats and 2,689 BDS seats.
