The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the Round 1 provisional seat allotment for NEET UG 2026 medical and dental admissions. Candidates can check the provisional allotment lists on the official KEA portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
KEA published separate provisional allotment lists for MBBS and BDS admissions on August 23, 2026. Candidates can now check their allotted college and course online. However, candidates who find an error in the provisional allotment must act quickly, as the objection window closes at 4 PM on August 24, 2026.
The allotment is based on the final state merit list, candidate rank, category, preferences, and the available seat matrix. Only candidates who completed the required counselling and option-entry process have been considered.

Who Can Check the Round 1 Provisional Allotment?
The provisional allotment list is available for candidates who completed the required KEA NEET UG counselling process, including NEET UG qualification, KEA registration, document verification, and option entry.
The list covers Karnataka state quota MBBS and BDS seats, including eligible seats in government, private, and minority colleges under KEA counselling. All India Quota seats are handled separately by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).
Candidates who missed any mandatory counselling stage may not appear in the provisional allotment list.
How Is the Seat Allotment Decided?
KEA uses a combination of state merit rank, reservation category, candidate preferences, and seat availability while processing allotments.
The system considers a candidate's highest-preference option first. If a seat is unavailable, it moves to the next available preference until a suitable seat is found or all entered options are exhausted.
Candidates who do not receive a seat in Round 1 may still get opportunities in later counselling rounds, subject to eligibility and seat availability.

How to Raise Objections Against the Provisional Allotment?
Candidates who identify an error in their provisional allotment can submit an objection through the official KEA portal. The deadline is August 24, 2026, at 4 PM, so candidates should avoid waiting until the last minute.
- Log in to the KEA portal using your CET number and password.
- Open the grievance or objection submission section.
- Enter the objection details clearly.
- Upload supporting documents if required.
- Submit the objection and save the acknowledgement for future reference.
KEA will review valid objections before releasing the final Round 1 seat allotment result. Candidates should ensure that any objection is supported by relevant documents or evidence.
What Happens After the Objection Window Closes?
After the objection window closes, KEA will review the grievances received and publish the final Round 1 allotment result.
Candidates who receive a final allotment will be able to download their individual allotment order. They will then need to complete the admission process within the reporting period announced by KEA.
Failure to report within the notified deadline may result in cancellation of the allotted seat.
Documents Required at Reporting
Candidates should keep the following documents ready:
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
- KEA Round 1 final allotment order
- Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and certificates
- Government-issued photo identity proof
- Category, income, or reservation certificate, if applicable
- Fee payment receipt and other documents required by the allotted college
The provisional allotment is not the final result. It gives students one last chance to flag errors. Fixing issues now can prevent seat loss during the final allotment.
