Karnataka Round 3 Allotment: Key Updates

How to Check Your Provisional Result

1. Visit the Karnataka Examinations Authority website.
2. Open the UGNEET 2026 admission section.
3. Locate the third-round provisional allotment result.
4. Enter the credentials requested if the result requires login.
5. Review your allotted college, course, quota, and category.
6. Save the result and read the accompanying instructions.

Who Should Review the October 5 Deadline?

Candidates holding allotments through both KEA and Medical Counselling Committee Round 3 should examine the exit provisions before choosing their admission route. Reports state that eligible candidates intending to join their MCC Round 3 seat can exercise Choice-4 without a penalty.

Different cancellation conditions apply to candidates who already joined a KEA seat in an earlier round or intend to take another state's allotment. Applicants should confirm the provision applicable to their circumstances in the KEA notice before submitting an irreversible selection.

What Happens During the Allotment Re-Run?

KEA is expected to re-run the third-round allotment after the exit and cancellation process. Vacated seats can then become available for eligible candidates. The exercise will use options already submitted; candidates will not be permitted to change those preferences.

A higher-preference allotment may become possible depending on vacancies and applicable rules. After the re-run provisional result, Choice-4 and cancellation will no longer be available under the announced process. Candidates should therefore consider the deadline carefully.

Candidate Checklist Before Taking Action

• Match the result with your counseling registration records.
• Confirm the allotted institution and course.
• Compare any KEA and MCC allotments you hold.
• Read the applicable exit or retention instructions.
• Save confirmations of every completed portal action.

The current result is provisional. Candidates should follow the subsequent final allotment, payment, and reporting instructions rather than treating this release as completed admission.

Keep registration records and relevant certificates ready. Check the KEA portal regularly for updated notices, and verify any deadline or financial consequence against the official instructions before proceeding.
