GMP seats — BDS (NEET, Karnataka) 2026 Round 1
General Merit Private (Yoga & Naturopathy). 371 seats across 36 colleges, from KEA's published matrix.
In short
KEA published 371 GMP seats across 36 colleges and 36 course rows in the BDS (NEET, Karnataka) 2026 Round 1 matrix — 13.6% of its 2,729 seats. GMP is General Merit Private (Yoga & Naturopathy). What GMP 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 GMP seats is not closed to a GMP candidate. Read this page as “where seats are reserved in this column”, not as a list of your only options.
