2BG seats — BDS (NEET, Karnataka) 2026 Round 1
Category 2B — General. 23 seats across 20 colleges, from KEA's published matrix.
In short
KEA published 23 2BG seats across 20 colleges and 20 course rows in the BDS (NEET, Karnataka) 2026 Round 1 matrix — 0.8% of its 2,729 seats. 2BG is Category 2B — General. What 2BG category means.
These are not the only seats you can be allotted.
General Merit is a merit-open column, not a category column: a candidate from any category is allotted a GM seat if their rank reaches it, which is why GM closing ranks are the tightest figures on this site. So a college showing no 2BG seats is not closed to a 2BG candidate. Read this page as “where seats are reserved in this column”, not as a list of your only options.
