Karnataka NEET PG Counselling 2024

Karnataka NEET PG Counselling 2024 is held by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) for admission to postgraduate medical and dental courses in the state of Karnataka. The counselling process is for candidates who have qualified for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET PG) administered by the National Board of Examinations (NBE).

Typically, there are several rounds of counselling, including regular rounds, mop-up rounds, and stray vacancy rounds. Each round consists of an application window, document verification, choice filling, seat allocation, and reporting to the designated college. Candidates must meticulously list their preferred colleges and courses, and seat allocation is determined by a combination of their NEET PG rank, reservation category, and available seats.

Karnataka NEET PG Counselling completed its mop-up round in October 2023 this year. Candidates who did not receive seats in previous rounds or those seeking upgrades may be eligible to participate in this final round. While the next session's information has yet to be announced, keep an eye on the KEA website (cetonline.karnataka.gov.in) for updates and deadlines to stay up to date on future counselling schedules.
