Karnataka NEET UG 2026 Round 1 Allotment: Urgent Steps for Choice Selection and Reporting

Karnataka NEET UG 2026 Round 1 final allotment is out, released on August 28. The choice selection clock is already ticking, with the portal open for a limited window. Aspirants must act, confirm their intent, and line up fee payment and reporting to secure seats without risk of forfeiture or penalty.

Here are the exact cut‑offs. Choice selection runs from August 28, 4:00 pm to September 2, 11:59 pm IST. Choice‑1 fee payment is permitted during banking hours from August 29 to September 3. Reporting to the allotted college must be completed by September 4, 6:00 pm; weekends count as working days.

Choice 1–4 rules for Karnataka NEET UG 2026 Round 1 final allotment

Pick Choice‑1 if you will join now and exit counselling. Choose Choice‑2 to retain the seat while seeking an upgrade within higher options. Select Choice‑3 to surrender and try afresh next round. Use Choice‑4 to quit KEA, typically when joining MCC or another state seat. Choose once, then follow instructions promptly.

Karnataka NEET UG 2026 fee payment, admission order and reporting timeline

After reading your allotment, download the challan or pay online under Choice‑1, then download the confirmation slip. Colleges commonly complete OTP and face verification before issuing the college copy of the admission order. Carry both slips and originals when reporting by the deadline shown below.

Karnataka NEET UG 2026 college reporting documents checklist

Keep these ready: KEA allotment order and confirmation slip, NEET admit card and scorecard, SSLC and 2nd PUC marks cards, study and transfer certificates, Aadhaar, KEA verification slip, and valid category, EWS, income or domicile certificates, as applicable. Carry recent passport photos; colleges may seek soft copies as per portal specs.

MCC Round 1 exit caveats for Karnataka NEET UG 2026

If you accept an MCC Round 1 seat, use KEA Choice‑4 to exit without conflict. KEA opened a free‑exit window on August 25–26 for such candidates, ensuring seats recycle to Karnataka’s pool before finalisation. Do not hold two seats; MCC rules prohibit dual admissions.

KEA portal errors or data mismatch: what to do

First, refresh after peak hours, switch to a desktop browser, and clear cache. Recheck CET number and date of birth formats. If quota, category or personal data appears incorrect, capture screenshots and raise it immediately with KEA helpdesk or visit the KEA office with proofs; timelines remain strict.

Set reminders now: make your choice by September 2, 11:59 pm, pay fees by September 3, and report by September 4, 6:00 pm. Read your allotment carefully, pick the right choice, assemble documents, and avoid dual‑seat issues. A planned, timely response protects your rank, options, and peace of mind.
