Next Steps After Result Declaration
If you have been allotted a seat in the stray round, you must quickly complete these essential steps to confirm your admission:
- Pay Remaining Course Fees: The first and immediate step is to pay the fees for the course and college you have been allotted. If you previously paid a medical course fee during an earlier counselling round, that amount will be adjusted. You only need to pay the remaining balance. Ensure the payment is made before the deadline.
- Download Seat Configuration Slip: After successfully paying the fees, you must download the official "seat configuration slip" from the KEA website. This slip is a crucial document as it confirms your seat allocation and fee payment. Keep a printout of this slip safe.
- Report to Allotted College with Documents: The final and most important step is to physically report to the college where you have been allotted a seat. You must carry all your original academic and identity documents. A list of required documents is usually provided by KEA or the college. Additionally, ensure you have your registered mobile phone with you. The college authorities will likely use a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your phone for verification purposes during the admission process. It is essential to complete this step by December 15, 2025 .
Special Rules for Round 3 Participants
The KEA has set specific rules for students who participated in the third round of counselling. Students must be aware of these guidelines:
- If a student received a dental seat in the third round and has already paid the medical course fee, they are eligible to participate only for medical seats in the stray round.
- Students who did not receive any seat in the third round are eligible to apply for dental seats in the stray round.
Students should carefully read all guidelines from the KEA to avoid any issues during the admission process. Make sure you understand these rules before proceeding with your admission.
The stray round is usually the last round of counselling conducted to fill any remaining vacant seats after all previous rounds are completed. This helps ensure that all available medical and dental seats in colleges are filled. It is an important final chance for students who might not have secured a seat in earlier rounds. Students should act quickly as the deadline for completing all admission formalities is December 15, 2025 . Missing this deadline could mean losing the allotted seat.
