Karnataka NEET UG Counselling 2025: July 8 Is the Last Date for Verification
Bengaluru, July 8:
Karnataka NEET UG Counselling 2025: The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially commenced the NEET UG 2025 counselling process for admissions into medical, dental, and AYUSH courses under the state quota. As per the latest notification, all eligible candidates must complete roll number enrollment and verification on KEA’s official website — cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/KEA — by 11:00 AM on July 8, 2025.
What is Roll Number Enrollment?
Roll number enrollment is a mandatory first step for all candidates applying through Karnataka’s state quota. Candidates need to register their NEET UG 2025 roll numbers, which will then be validated against the official National Testing Agency (NTA) database. This verification ensures authenticity and eligibility for participation in the state’s counselling process.
Only candidates whose roll numbers are successfully validated will be allowed to proceed with the subsequent steps, including downloading the application form and verification letter. Without this process, candidates will not be considered for seat allotment.
Second Opportunity for Fresh Applicants (July 7–10)
KEA has also provided relief to candidates who missed earlier registration deadlines. A special window from July 7 to July 10, 2025, has been opened for fresh applications. Eligible students who did not register earlier can now apply through the KEA portal.
The document verification schedule for these new applicants will be announced separately by KEA in the coming days.
