The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has extended the deadline for students to fill their college and course choices for the Karnataka NEET PG 2025 Round 2 counselling. Students can now complete this process until December 22, 2025 , at 9 AM . This change allows more time for eligible candidates to select their preferred medical colleges and courses.
This extension benefits all registered applicants who qualified for NEET PG 2025 and are participating in the Karnataka counselling. It helps students who might have missed the earlier deadline or those who need more time to decide on their college options. Candidates who have already filled their choices can also make changes to their list before the new deadline.
Filling choices correctly is a key part of getting a seat in a postgraduate medical program. Students should make sure to select many preferences. This increases their chances of getting an allotment.

| Activity | Date and Time |

How to Fill or Change Choices
To fill or change your college and course preferences for Karnataka NEET PG 2025 Round 2, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Go to the official KEA website: keaonline.karnataka.gov.in .
- Step 2: Look for the link related to 'Karnataka NEET PG 2025 Choice Filling' or 'Login for Choice Filling'.
- Step 3: Click on the link. You will need to log in using your CET number and other required details. Sometimes, scanning a QR code is part of the login process.
- Step 4: Once logged in, you will see a list of available courses and colleges. Select your preferred options.
- Step 5: Arrange your selected colleges in order of your preference. The college you want most should be at the top of your list.
- Step 6: You can add new choices, remove existing ones, or change the order of colleges until the deadline.
- Step 7: After finalising your choices, you must 'lock' them. This step is very important.
Important Guidelines for Choice Filling
The KEA has provided some guidelines to help students during the choice filling process:
- Students must visit only the official KEA website, keaonline.karnataka.gov.in , to access the choice filling portal.
- You have the option to edit, delete, or add college preferences until the extended deadline of December 22, 2025 .
- Once you 'lock' your choices, you cannot make any more changes to that list. Ensure all choices are final before locking.
- It is mandatory to lock all your selected preferences before the deadline. If choices are not locked, they will not be considered for seat allotment. This means you will not be assigned a seat based on your unlocked choices.
- There is no limit on the number of colleges you can select. Students are advised to choose as many colleges and courses as they are interested in. This increases the likelihood of getting a seat.
After the choice filling and locking process is complete, the KEA will announce the seat allotment results for Round 2. Students should keep checking the official website for future updates regarding the counselling process.
