1K seats — MBBS (NEET, Karnataka) 2026 Round 1
Category 1 — Kannada medium. 10 seats across 10 colleges, from KEA's published matrix.
In short
KEA published 10 1K seats across 10 colleges and 10 course rows in the MBBS (NEET, Karnataka) 2026 Round 1 matrix — 0.1% of its 11,225 seats. 1K is Category 1 — Kannada medium. What 1K 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 1K seats is not closed to a 1K candidate. Read this page as “where seats are reserved in this column”, not as a list of your only options.

Columns held by fewer than 10 colleges, and columns whose meaning KEA’s own abbreviations table does not state, have no page of their own — their totals are still on the full MBBS (NEET, Karnataka) matrix.
