The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has extended the registration deadline for Karnataka UGNEET 2026 admissions. Eligible candidates now have until July 30, 2026 , to apply. This extension provides additional time for students seeking admission to MBBS, BDS, and AYUSH courses in Karnataka for the 2026-27 academic session.
Registration Deadline Extended
The previous deadline was July 24, 2026. The KEA extended the date following requests from candidates. This applies to students who appeared for the NEET UG 2026 exam and have qualified for medical admissions but have not yet completed the KEA registration process.
NEET Roll Number Linking Facility
KEA will also launch a new facility to link NEET UG 2026 roll numbers with existing candidate profiles. This feature is for students who have already registered for UGCET 2026. They will not need to submit a fresh application for UGCET counselling. This streamlines the process for candidates who have appeared for NEET and wish to use those scores for admission in Karnataka.
