KEA UG NEET 2026 Application Deadline Extended

KEA UG NEET 2026: The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has extended the deadline for candidates to complete the UG NEET 2026 application process and link their NEET roll number. The last date has now been extended to August 7, 2026, following technical issues on the KEA website.

KEA UG NEET 2026 Registration Deadline Extended

Candidates applying for Karnataka medical and dental admissions through UG NEET 2026 can now complete the required process until August 7. The extension covers NEET roll number linking and submission of new applications.

Candidates who have not yet linked their NEET roll number or submitted their application should complete the process before the revised deadline to avoid further issues.

KEA Yet to Receive Medical Seat Matrix

Another important development is that KEA is yet to receive the medical seat matrix from the National Medical Commission (NMC).

The seat matrix is required to provide candidates with details of the available MBBS seats and participating medical colleges for the counselling process. Further counselling-related information is expected to be updated once the seat matrix is received and processed by the authority.

What Candidates Should Do Now

Candidates participating in Karnataka UG NEET 2026 counselling should:

• Complete NEET roll number linking before August 7.

• Submit a fresh application, if required, within the extended deadline.

• Keep checking the KEA portal for document verification instructions.

• Follow the revised schedule for the Kannada language test.

• Keep the required original documents and copies ready for verification.

• Check for updates regarding the medical seat matrix and counselling schedule.

The deadline extension gives candidates additional time to complete the process, but applicants should avoid waiting until the final day because technical issues may continue if the portal experiences heavy traffic.
