This is the last round for students looking to get admission into undergraduate medical and dental courses across colleges in Karnataka. Students who have received a seat in this round must report to their allotted colleges by December 17, 2025 .
NEET UG is a national entrance exam for students wanting to pursue MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) or BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) courses in India. The counselling process helps students get seats in colleges based on their NEET UG scores.
The 'stray round' is a special and final round of counselling. It helps fill any remaining seats in colleges that were not taken in the earlier rounds. This gives students one last chance to secure admission to a medical or dental college for the academic year 2025.

Detailed Steps for Admission
Step 1: Pay Your Fees
Students who have been allotted a seat must pay their admission fees. This payment period is from December 16, 2025, to December 17, 2025 . If you have already paid any medical course fee in earlier rounds, that amount will be deducted from your final admission fee. You will only need to pay the remaining balance.
Step 2: Download Your Seat Allotment Letter
After paying the fees, you can download your official seat allotment letter. This letter confirms that you have been given a seat in a specific college and course. You can download it on December 17, 2025 , from the KEA website. This letter is very important for the next step.
Step 3: Report to Your Allotted College
The final and most crucial step is to physically report to the college you have been allotted. The last date to complete your admission at the college is December 17, 2025 . When you go to the college, you must carry all your original documents. Also, make sure your mobile phone is with you and working, as you might need it to receive an One-Time Password (OTP) for the admission process.
It is very important for all students to follow these dates strictly. Missing any deadline might lead to the loss of your allotted seat. Make sure to gather all necessary documents and complete the process in time to secure your admission into a medical or dental college in Karnataka for 2025.
