Karnataka NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Provisional Allotment Declared: Submit Objections by 4 PM Today
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially released the Round 1 Provisional Seat Allotment results for the Karnataka NEET UG 2026 admissions. Candidates participating in the state quota medical and dental counseling can now view their preliminary allotment status on the official KEA portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
According to official figures released by KEA, a total of 11,874 MBBS seats and 2,689 BDS seats have been provisionally allocated in the initial round across government, private, and minority institutes. Aspirants are advised to review their allotment status immediately, as the official grievance and objection submission window closes today at 4:00 PM IST.
Detailed Overview of the Allotment Process
The provisional list provides candidates with an opportunity to verify their allocated seats before the final list is issued. Allotments were processed using candidate NEET UG state merit ranks, category reservation parameters, and the preference order submitted during the choice-filling phase.
Advisory: KEA has explicitly directed all candidates not to report to their provisionally allotted colleges at this stage. Admissions cannot be finalized based on the provisional list, as allocations remain subject to revision following the evaluation of valid objections.
