Karnataka NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 2 Final Result OUT

🚨 KEA has released the Second Round Final Seat Allotment Result for Karnataka NEET UG Counselling 2026 MBBS and BDS admissions.

Candidates who participated in Karnataka UGNEET 2026 Round 2 should now check their FINAL allotment, rather than relying on the earlier provisional allotment.

What Has Changed?

KEA first published the provisional Round 2 allotment and allowed candidates to submit objections.

After considering objections received within the prescribed period, KEA published the:

Second Round Final Seat Allotment Result

Published: 16 September 2026 Time reported for final publication: 2:00 PM

The final allotment applies to:

• MBBS
• BDS

under the applicable KEA counselling quotas/categories.

What Allotted Candidates Need To Do

Candidates receiving a seat in the final result should immediately check the KEA candidate portal for their individual instructions.

The post-allotment process includes, as applicable:

1. Check the final allotted college and course.
2. Complete the prescribed fee payment.
3. Download the Seat Confirmation Slip.
4. Download/save the final allotment documents.
5. Complete reporting at the allotted institution within the KEA deadline.
6. Preserve the fee receipt, confirmation slip and allotment documents.

⚠️ Do not rely on the provisional Round 2 allotment if your final allotment has changed.

MBBS and BDS Final Allotment Lists

KEA has released the final allocation for Medical and Dental admissions.

For HGE data processing:

MBBS must be extracted separately from BDS.

The result should also preserve the exact KEA:

• College code
• College name
• Course
• Allotted category
• Quota
• Candidate rank
• Round
• Final allotment status

This final Round 2 result should become the authoritative source for Karnataka Round 2 cutoff extraction.

Important for Candidates Who Received an Upgrade

If your Round 2 final allotment is different from your previous seat, carefully check the final KEA allotment before making any payment or reporting decision.

Your counselling strategy should now be based on the final allotment, not the earlier provisional result.

Important Karnataka Quota Separation

Karnataka has one of India's most detailed NEET UG seat structures.

HGE should continue tracking separately:

• Government seats
• Private seats
• Minority seats
• NRI / NRI Ward seats
• St. John's categories
• Special reservation/claim categories
• Applicable Kannada/Rural and other KEA category combinations

A single generic “Karnataka Round 2 cutoff” is not sufficient for admission-chance analysis.

Why This Result Matters for Round 3

The Round 2 Final Result becomes one of the strongest datasets for predicting the next counselling round.

HGE should calculate:

Round 1 Closing Rank → Round 2 Final Closing Rank → Category Movement → Quota Movement → College Movement

This helps identify colleges where:

• cutoff moved substantially,
• competition tightened,
• private-seat ranks moved deeper,
• category seats remained competitive,
• vacancies may emerge before Round 3.

What Students Should Do Now

1. Open the official KEA website.
2. Enter the UGNEET-2026 section.
3. Check the Second Round Final Allotment.
4. Verify your course, college, category and quota.
5. Check whether your allotment changed from the provisional result.
6. Complete applicable fee payment.
7. Download your Seat Confirmation Slip.
8. Save your allotment letter and payment receipt.
9. Complete college reporting within the official deadline.
10. Keep checking KEA for any revised reporting instructions.

🚨 Candidates should follow only the FINAL Round 2 allotment for admission action.

Hire Guide Education Advice

For candidates who did not receive their desired seat, the Round 2 Final Result is extremely useful for planning the next round.

Your next-round strategy should use:

NEET AIR + Karnataka Category + Quota + Round 1 Cutoff + Round 2 Final Cutoff + Remaining Vacancy + Fees

Do not judge admission chances from one generic closing rank.
