The deadline for submitting new applications and linking UG NEET roll numbers for Karnataka's undergraduate medical, dental, and AYUSH courses has been extended to August 7, 2026 . The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) announced the extension due to technical issues with its server.
Application Process Extended
Students applying for Karnataka UG NEET 2026 admissions must now complete their applications by August 7. This extension applies to both new registrations and the linking of UG NEET roll numbers to the CET 2026 application. The KEA cited ongoing server maintenance as the reason for the delay.
