Karnataka Medical Seats — Background Info (For Reference)Karnataka is one of India’s largest medical education hubs, with a mix of Government, Private, Minority, and Deemed university colleges participating in KEA state-quota counselling. Approximate figures based on recent official/NMC data (subject to final KEA seat matrix confirmation for 2026): |
|
| College Category | Approx. MBBS Seats |
| Government Medical Colleges (~24 colleges) | ~3,092 seats |
| Private Unaided Colleges (~13 colleges) | ~2,195 seats |
| Minority Colleges (~12 colleges) | ~2,070 seats |
| Deemed/Private University Colleges (~15 colleges) | ~1,776 seats |
| Note: These figures are approximate reference numbers from prior verified sources and may change with the official 2026 seat matrix; deemed universities generally follow separate MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) counselling for their All-India quota seats, though state-quota seats in some deemed colleges may appear via KEA. Always confirm the exact number and category-wise breakup from the seat matrix that KEA will publish for this cycle. | |
Some Major Colleges Participating in Karnataka NEET UG Counselling

KEA Karnataka UGNEET 2026 Score List FAQs
Q1. What is the KEA Karnataka UGNEET 2026 NBE Score List?
Ans: It is a provisional merit list released by KEA containing the NEET UG 2026 scores, All India Ranks (AIR), and Karnataka state merit positions of eligible candidates for state quota counselling.
Q2. Does appearing in the KEA score list guarantee an MBBS or BDS seat?
Ans: No. The score list only confirms your provisional merit position. Seat allotment depends on counselling, document verification, choice filling, reservation rules, and seat availability.
Q3. Why is NEET Roll Number linking important after the score list is released?
Ans: NEET Roll Number linking is a mandatory verification step. Candidates who fail to complete it within the prescribed deadline may not be considered for Karnataka UGNEET counselling.
Q4. Can candidates edit their category or personal details after the score list is published?
Ans: KEA generally verifies candidate details during the counselling process. Any discrepancy should be reported only through the official KEA process before the final merit list is prepared.

Ans: Yes. The All India Rank is issued by NTA, while the Karnataka merit position is prepared by KEA for state quota admissions based on eligible registered candidates.

Ans: Candidates should verify all details in the PDF, complete NEET Roll Number linking, keep required documents ready, and regularly check the KEA website for counselling notifications.
