1. ✓

   DoneNew-registration window (candidates without a CET-2026 application) — 17–23 July 2026 official source

   Non-Karnataka candidates registered without attending verification; OCI/PIO/NRI/Foreign Nationals are ineligible for non-Karnataka religious-minority, NRI-ward and St. John’s RC-2–RC-8 seats. No fresh registration at Rounds 2–3 — the next window is the stray-vacancy round, per the notification’s own table.

2. ✓

   DoneNEET roll-number linking in the CET-2026 application — 30 Jul 7:00 PM → 5 Aug 11:00 AM official source

3. ✓

   DoneDocument verification — who had to attend, decoded — 4–8 August 2026 (slot-booked) official source

   Special-category certificates (NCC, Sports, Defence, Ex-Defence, Scouts & Guides, CAPF, Ex-CAPF, AGL, Anglo-Indian) were taken at KEA on 5 August, 10 AM–2 PM; PwD medicals the same morning.

4. ✓

   DoneState seat matrix published — medical & dental — 7 August 2026 official source

5. ✓

   DoneRound-1 schedule & allotment process notified — 7 August 2026 official source

   Non-CET applicants got a NEET roll-number linking route; candidates needing physical verification book a slot, attend, then enter choices.

6. ✓

   DoneMedical (MBBS) provisional fee structure published — 68 colleges — 8 August 2026 official source

   Transcribed college-by-college on this site: /fees/neet/.

7. ✓

   DoneDental (BDS) provisional fee structure published — 39 colleges — 10 August 2026 official source

   Transcribed college-by-college on this site: /fees/neet/.

8. ✓

   DoneKannada language test held (10 Aug); marks list published — 12 August 2026 official source

   Minimum 12 marks in the test to be eligible, per the e-bulletin — restated in this notice. 52 of the 64 candidates listed cleared it. We do not republish the individual list.

9. ✓

   DoneSpecial-category eligibility lists published — 13 August 2026 official source

   55 candidates across six categories — Ex-Defence 18, Defence 10, CAPF/Ex-CAPF 15, NCC 9 (with preference numbers), Sports 3. All three Sports claims were ruled NOT eligible, so check your own status rather than assuming. We do not republish the individual list.

10. ✓

    DoneRound-1 option entry (medical & dental) — 7 Aug 4:00 PM → 13 Aug 9:00 AM official source

    The window closed 9:00 AM, 13 August, as scheduled — no extension notice was on the portal when we re-read it that afternoon.

11. ✓

    DoneRound-1 MOCK allotment result, medical & dental (not the real allotment) — 17 August 2026, after 4:00 PM official source

    One joint KEA notification covers this and UGCET Round 2 — medical and dental were merged into the same allotment, and MCC’s AIQ schedule is why a mock round exists at all. It confers nothing: no admission can be taken on a mock-allotted seat.

12. ✓

    DoneMedical/dental options could be entered or changed — 17 Aug → 20 Aug 9:00 AM official source

    The window closed 9:00 AM, 20 August, as scheduled — the portal was re-read at 11:20 PM IST that night and carried no extension notice, nor anything dated 20 August at all. Until it closed, eligible candidates could enter medical and dental options and anyone could add, delete, reorder or modify their list. The real Round-1 allotment runs on the list standing at that deadline. (The separate 18 August 6:00 PM deadline for registering or linking a NEET roll number under Clause-A / Clause-Y passed earlier.)

13. ✓

    DoneRound-1 provisional allotment result (the real one) — 23 August 2026 official source

    Published 23 August for medical and dental together — 11,874 MBBS and 2,689 BDS seats, under joint notice No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-04/2026. ⚠️ It is PROVISIONAL, and KEA says plainly that a candidate must NOT report to the allotted college on it. All four choices (1–4) are available after the FINAL Round-1 result, per the notification. Every figure this site publishes from this list — closing ranks by category, the seat-type totals, the government NRI table — is labelled provisional for the same reason.

14. ✓

    DoneObjections on a specific Round-1 result — until 24 Aug 4:00 PM official source add to calendar

    Narrow, and worth reading precisely: an objection is for a candidate whose cut-off was checked and whose options were entered but who was allotted no seat. It goes to keauthority-ka@nic.in before 4:00 PM on 24 August. A seat missed because options were never entered is NOT grounds for one, and no objection reopens the option list.

15. ✓

    DoneFINAL Round-1 allotment result — 28 August 2026 official source

    Published 28 August under No. ED/KEA/UGCET-UGNEET/2026, superseding the 23 August provisional list. This is the result a candidate acts on — the choice portal opened at 4:00 PM the same day.

16. ✓

    DoneChoice selection — Choice-1, 2, 3 or 4 — 28 Aug 4:00 PM → 4 Sep 2:00 PM (extended) official source add to calendar

    EXTENDED. KEA first printed a hard 11:59 PM close on 2 September, then reopened the window to 2:00 PM on 4 September in its 03-09-2026 notification. This choice decides whether a candidate keeps, upgrades or exits the allotted seat — and a candidate who exercises no suitable Choice is treated as Choice-4, which ends their counselling: no later round is open to them.

17. ✓

    DoneFee payment by Choice-1, and download of the Seat Confirmation Slip — 29 Aug 11:00 AM → 4 Sep 4:00 PM (extended) official source add to calendar

    EXTENDED to 4:00 PM on 4 September. Only Choice-1 candidates pay now, and only they download the Seat Confirmation Slip. KEA marks the payment as falling within banking transaction hours, so do not read 4:00 PM as a guarantee the transaction will still go through at 3:59.

18. ✓

    DoneReporting at the allotted college with the Seat Confirmation Slip — up to 5 Sep 6:00 PM (extended) official source add to calendar

    EXTENDED to 6:00 PM on 5 September, and closed at it. Choice-1 candidates only, carrying the fee-paid receipt and the downloaded Seat Confirmation Slip. KEA had directed every participating college to treat Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays as working days for this window, so a weekend was not an excuse on either side.

19. ✓

    DoneRound-2 schedule notified — 6 September 2026 official source

    Published 6 September under No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026, ending the wait this page recorded on 5 September. It opens option entry and states the participation rule; it dates nothing after that. Three groups may take part: Round-1 Choice-2 and Choice-3 holders, anyone allotted no seat in Round 1, and UGCET candidates who took Choice-4 after the UGCET Round-2 allotment whose option list holds medical or dental options.

20. ✓

    DoneRound-2 provisional seat matrix published — medical, dental, and an additional-seats list — 7 September 2026 official source

    The pool Round-2 options are entered against. KEA posted the medical and dental tables separately and, the same day, a virtual seat matrix and an additional seat-matrix log (KEA_Medical_CompleteLogReport_r2_07092026kannada.pdf); all are linked from the UGNEET portal at the top of this track. Seats can still be cancelled or added while the option window runs.

21. ✓

    DoneOption entry for Round 2 — 7 Sep 2:00 PM → 10 Sep 9:30 AM (EXTENDED) official source add to calendar

    CLOSED at 9:30 AM on 10 September. KEA had EXTENDED it from the 2:00 PM on 9 September that the Round-2 schedule printed, under a notice dated 09-09-2026 carrying the same file number, No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026 — so a candidate who went by the original schedule had an extra 19½ hours. The window was for changing, modifying or removing medical and dental options in order of preference, and entering options was not enough: the notice required a candidate to log in and SAVE the list before the closing instant. It also opened options for Bagalkote Medical College and Research, Bagalkote, a NEW government college whose seat matrix the Government issued on 7 September. The allotment now runs on the lists saved before 9:30 AM — KEA has announced no date for the Round-2 provisional result, and this site will print none until it does.

22. ✓

    DoneRound-2 PROVISIONAL allotment result — 11 September 2026 official source

    PUBLISHED. KEA has released the second-round PROVISIONAL seat allotment lists for medical and dental, both headed "PUBLISHED ON [11-09-2026]", allotted on merit from the options saved before the window shut at 9:30 AM on 10 September. The medical list runs to 603 pages and the dental to 129, and each row carries the All India Rank, the college and course allotted, the category, the course fee and the candidate's status — there are no names or CET numbers in them. It came later than KEA's printed hour: the files are generated-stamped 3:27 PM, the portal still had nothing at 2:05 PM, and the rows went up around 4:10 PM. ⚠️ Do NOT use the portal's "2nd round seat allotment result link" as a shortcut to it — the only such link live is dated 17 August and is the MOCK one (ಅಣಕು). Use the allotment list linked here. ⚠️ This is PROVISIONAL and your seat can still move: KEA pools the seats surrendered through Choice-4 and RE-RUNS the round on the options already submitted before publishing the Round-2 final result, considering candidates for up-gradation to higher-order options — so a seat can improve as well as change. ⚠️ BDS candidates: a National Dental Commission circular KEA posted the same day restates that the NEET percentile is not enough on its own — BDS also needs 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology taken together in the qualifying exam, 40% for SC, ST and OBC, and 45% with locomotory disability of the lower limbs. ⚠️ No rank or fee from these lists is reproduced on this site: their text layer detaches values from their rows, and transcribing that safely is a separate verified job.

23. ✓

    DoneChoice-4 on the provisional result — 11 Sep 3:00 PM → 14 Sep 5:00 PM official source add to calendar

    CLOSED at 5:00 PM on 14 September, on KEA’s own printed instant and with no extension. The UGNEET portal was re-read at about 3:20 PM on 15 September and its row labels checked by hand: the exit row is still listed and still dated [11-09-2026], and nothing on that portal is dated later than 11 September — no extension notice, no Round-2 final result, no new schedule. That absence is the point, because KEA does announce extensions when it grants them: it extended the Round-2 option entry by 19½ hours under a dated notice, and published nothing of the kind here. ⚠️ WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS NOT DATED. KEA now pools the seats surrendered through Choice-4 and RE-RUNS the Round-2 allotment on the options already submitted before publishing the FINAL Round-2 result, and it has announced no date for that — this site will print none until it does. For the record of what the window was: KEA’s UGNEET portal did not carry an entry link at either check on the 11th; in the early hours of the 12th the top of that portal carried a link dated [11-09-2026] and titled, in KEA’s own words, "link to EXIT from the KEA counselling process" — which is exactly and only what Choice-4 does. It was never captioned "Choice-4", and it pointed at the same general CAP option-entry login as several older rows, which is why this page kept telling candidates to log in and read what the screen offered rather than trust the caption. The case the 10 September notice is written for is the candidate allotted a seat in BOTH the MCC and the KEA second rounds who wants to take the MCC seat — selecting Choice-4 exits them from KEA counselling. The wider Choice-4 rule from the 6 September schedule still stands beside it: a candidate who takes Choice-4 leaves UGNEET counselling for the year and is not considered for allotment again, and one who takes Choice-4 and then takes no admission anywhere is barred from later rounds, with KEA saying it will recommend the same to MCC. ⚠️ Options could not be changed in this window — it offered an exit, not an edit. Doing nothing kept a candidate in, and that is still the position now it has shut: the seats surrendered here are pooled and the round is re-run on the options already submitted, so an untouched allotment can still improve.

    DoneRound-2 REVISED provisional result after the Choice-4 re-run — objections until 9:00 AM, 16 Sep — published 15 Sep → objections close 16 Sep 9:00 AM official source add to calendar

    PUBLISHED, and still PROVISIONAL. KEA has re-run the Round-2 allotment counting the medical and dental seats surrendered through Choice-4, and published the revised second provisional result on 15 September — notice No. ED/KEA/Adalitha/CR-11/2026 dated 15-09-2026, with new medical and dental allotment lists each headed "2nd ROUND SECOND PROVISIONAL SEAT ALLOTMENT LIST — PUBLISHED ON [15-09-2026]" (medical 598 pages, dental 129). This is the list to check now; the 11 September lists are superseded by it. ⏰ OBJECTIONS CLOSE AT 9:00 AM ON 16 SEPTEMBER. A candidate with a specific objection about the published result — KEA’s own examples are a cut-off rank that should be checked, or options that were entered and no seat allotted — sends it to KEA’s e-mail, keauthority-ka@nic.in, before that instant; the same address and instant are printed at the head of every page of both lists. ⚠️ KEA says in the same breath that "I entered options but was not allotted a seat" is not an objection it will entertain, and that options CANNOT be changed at this stage. ⚠️ Still provisional: after examining the objections KEA publishes the Round-2 FINAL result, for which it has printed no date — see the next stage. ⚠️ No rank, college or fee from either list is reproduced on this site; read the list itself for your All India Rank.

25. ✓

    DoneRound-2 FINAL allotment result — 16 September 2026, 2:00 PM official source

    PUBLISHED at 2:00 PM on 16 September — notice No. ED/KEA/Adalitha/CR-11/2026 dated 16-09-2026, with medical and dental lists each headed "2nd ROUND FINAL SEAT ALLOTMENT LIST — PUBLISHED ON [16-09-2026]". KEA examined the objections received by 9:00 AM that morning on the revised provisional result of 15 September, and this is the result that followed. It supersedes both provisional lists: this is the list a candidate acts on. After the final result only Choice-1 exists — there is no Choice-4, admission to the allotted seat is compulsory, and a candidate wanting an upgrade takes it by logging in at Round 3. ⚠️ No rank, college or fee from either list is reproduced on this site; read the list itself for your All India Rank.

26. ✓

    DoneFee payment and reporting at the allotted college — fees 16–19 Sep (banking hours) → report by 21 Sep 5:00 PM official source add to calendar

    CLOSED at 5:00 PM on 21 September, on KEA’s own printed instant and with no extension: this site fetched KEA’s UGNEET portal on the morning of the 22nd and read its row labels by hand — the check no automated watch here can make, because an extension arrives as a re-dated portal row and not as a document. The newest row on that index is still the seat-cancellation link and the post-Round-2 vacant medical seat list of 17-09-2026, unchanged in text and position, and the index carries nothing dated 18 to 22 September. Both clocks on this stage have now run out: fee payment ran 16–19 September within BANKING HOURS, and reporting at the allotted college with the seat confirmation slip closed at 5:00 PM on 21 September. Admission was compulsory for a candidate allotted a seat in the Round-2 final result, and KEA had directed every participating college to work on all holidays for the window. ⚠️ A candidate who has missed it should contact KEA directly — this site will not guess what remedy, if any, exists, because KEA has published none. ⚠️ The separate window for a candidate who did NOT want the allotted seat shut earlier still, at 5:00 PM on 20 September; see the cancellation stage below. ⚠️ Nothing has been published since: KEA confirms a third round in writing but has still issued no schedule, no option-entry window and no result date for it — see the stage below.

27. ✓

    DoneCancelling an allotted medical or dental seat — exit from KEA counselling — 17 Sep 4:00 PM → 20 Sep 5:00 PM official source add to calendar

    CLOSED at 5:00 PM on 20 September, on KEA’s own printed instant and with no extension: the UGNEET portal was re-read an hour later and its seat-cancellation row is unchanged in label, link and position, with nothing published on the index since 17 September. ⚠️ A candidate who still does not want the allotted seat no longer has this route, and this site has no other one to offer — KEA has published nothing about cancelling after this window beyond the penalty table below, and will not be second-guessed here. For the record of the window that has shut: it was only for a candidate who did NOT want the KEA seat allotted in the Round-2 final result — typically because an MCC seat or a seat in another state has come through. KEA opened this after candidates asked to cancel once the final result was out on 16 September. It ran from 4:00 PM on 17 September to 5:00 PM on 20 September, through the seat-cancellation link KEA put at the top of its UGNEET portal dated 17-09-2026. KEA states that seats cancelled this way are considered for the THIRD round, and that a candidate who cancels a medical or dental seat this way may, if interested, take part in the third round of medical and dental courses (conditions apply). ⚠️ CANCELLING COSTS MONEY, AND HOW MUCH DEPENDS ON A DATE KEA HAS NOT YET PUBLISHED. Cancelling after the second round but before the last date to enter Round-3 options is Rs.5,000 + Rs.5,000. Cancelling after that date but before the last date for stray-vacancy options is Rs.5,000 + Rs.5,000 and a further Rs.1,00,000 for medical, Rs.50,000 for dental or Rs.25,000 for AYUSH — and that candidate is not eligible for further rounds. Cancelling after the stray-vacancy option date, or surrendering after the stray round, adds one year’s course fee on top and bars the candidate from UG counselling for three years. KEA has published no date for Round-3 option entry, so which of the first two bands applied during this window was never establishable — this site did not guess it then and does not now. Read the notice itself before acting on anything here.

    NextRound 3 — medical & dental — confirmed by KEA, not yet dated official source

    A third round WILL run: KEA says so in its 17 September cancellation notice, which states that seats cancelled in the current window are considered for the third round and that candidates who cancel may take part in it. On the same day KEA published a list of the medical seats left vacant after the second round — the pool a third round would be run against. ⚠️ Nothing about its timing has been published: no schedule notification, no option-entry window, no result date. That gap matters right now, because the cancellation penalty above steps up at "the last date to enter the options for the 3rd round" — a date KEA has not yet set. This site will carry the schedule when KEA issues it, and until then carries no invented date. The vacant-seat list itself is a seat table; its figures are not transcribed here.

AYUSH courses: the seat matrix had NOT been issued when the 7 August process document was published — AYUSH choices open only once the Government issues it. Watch the UGNEET portal.
