Karnataka NEET PG Counselling 2025 Procedure

Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) is responsible for conducting the counseling for allotment of PG Medical seats as mandated in the Karnataka Entrance Test Rules and latest guidelines from the Government of India, NMC, DCI, and the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.  All admissions are made online and are centralized for seat allotment based on NEET PG 2025 Merit.

Seat Allotment Process 

• The government of Karnataka will publish the seat matrix (college wise, course wise, and category wise) on Kea’s website after the issuing of government orders.
• The seat allotment is based on the NEET PG Merit, seat reservation roster, and preference options made by the candidate.
• Allotment will be done in multiple rounds (e.g. First Round, Second Round, Mop-up Round and a Stray Vacancy Round (if seats are remaining). Each of these are its own round, and may be referred to as First Round, Second Round, Mop-up and/or Stray Vacancies in the KEA announcements.
• This process is completed through a single automated iteration system, where each candidate’s highest available choice is assigned in the NEET PG order of merit.

Seat Allotment Logic

• Seats will be allotted to applicants based on their rank, category, and priority of the preference options provided by the applicants.
• If no maximum or choice option is available in the General Merit (GM) category, the booking will check under Hyderabad-Karnataka category (GMH), and then through the other reserved categories in accordance with the roster priority.
• This ensures that all candidates are allotted the best possible seat available within their eligibility.

Post-Allotment Procedure (Choice Selection)

After the first allotment outcome, students will log in to the KEA web-portal and make one of the following four selections: 

• Option 1: Candidate is completely satisfied with the seat allotted to them, pays the needed fees, provides original documents, downloads the admission order, and reports to the college. They will not be allowed to participate in subsequent rounds. 
• Option 2: Candidate is accepting the seat allotted to them, but would like to be considered for the next round for upgradation. The Round 1 seat will be held provisionally until the next round. 
• Option 3: Candidate is not satisfied with the seat and returns it for consideration for the next round. Original documents will be required to remain eligible. 
• Option 4: Candidate is declining the seat and exiting the counselling process. Candidate will not be allowed to consider participating in the subsequent rounds. 

If no option is selected within the amount of time given, the allotment of the seat will automatically be cancelled. 

Second Round of Counselling 

• The second round of counselling will be conducted for vacant, surrendered and any newly added seats offered after the first round. 
• Any student who selected Option 2 or Option 3 in the first round, or was not allotted a seat, will be able to participate after providing original documents. 
• Candidates that selected Option 1, or failed to submit documents or fees will not be able to participate.
• Once allotted a seat in Round 2, candidates must pay the fee and report compulsorily; otherwise, legal action may be initiated for seat blocking.

Mop-up Round (Third Round)

• Conducted if seats remain vacant after Round 2.
• Only candidates who have not been allotted any clinical seat in previous rounds can participate.
• Candidates allotted pre or para-clinical seats can participate for clinical seats only, but must not report to their earlier college before the Mop-up.
• New options must be entered afresh for the Mop-up round; previous round options will not be considered.

Stray Vacancy Round

• Conducted only if seats remain after the Mop-up round.
• Allotment is made strictly based on merit and availability, and reporting is mandatory within the specified timeline.
