Karnataka NEET Counselling is the gateway for aspiring medical students to secure admissions into various undergraduate medical and dental courses offered by esteemed institutions across the state. The counselling process is conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), which ensures a fair and transparent allocation of seats based on NEET scores.
The process generally involves multiple phases, including registration, document verification, choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting to the allotted colleges. Applicants must first register online on the KEA's official website and then attend the document verification process in person, where their eligibility is confirmed.
