Karnataka NEET Counselling 2026 Schedule Released, Check Choice Filling Dates
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the schedule for Karnataka NEET UG Counselling 2026 for candidates seeking admission to undergraduate medical and dental programmes. The counselling process will include registration, document verification, option entry or choice filling and seat allotment. Candidates who are eligible to participate should carefully follow the schedule and complete each activity within the prescribed deadline.
| Counselling Activity | Schedule |

| Registration and Application | As per the schedule issued by KEA. |
| Document Verification | As notified by the counselling authority. |
| Choice Filling / Option Entry | Candidates should complete option entry within the notified window. |
| Seat Allotment | To be announced according to the counselling schedule. |
Candidates should use the official KEA counselling portal to complete the required admission activities. During choice filling, applicants can arrange eligible colleges and courses according to their preferences. Candidates should review their choices carefully before submitting the final option entry because the order of preferences can affect the seat allotment outcome.
Before participating in option entry, candidates should check the available college list, course eligibility, category-wise seat availability and other counselling instructions. Keeping the required academic and identity documents ready can also make the verification and admission process smoother.
| What Candidates Should Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| College and course preferences | Helps create a realistic preference order. |
| NEET score and eligibility | Determines which seats and courses can be considered. |
| Documents and certificates | Required for verification and admission. |
| Choice filling deadline | Late option entry may not be accepted. |
After choice filling, KEA will conduct the seat allotment according to the applicable merit, reservation and preference rules. Candidates who receive a seat should follow the instructions for fee payment, confirmation and reporting within the specified timeline. Any revised dates or additional instructions will be published on the official counselling portal.
