KEA allows UG-NEET candidates to register for UG-CET, link their NEET roll number

The Karnataka Examinations Authority has opened a new registration window for UG-NEET qualified candidates to apply for medical and allied courses. The process allows for fresh applications and provides a mechanism for existing CET applicants to link their NEET roll numbers.
Why it matters
This update is critical for thousands of students in Karnataka seeking admission to medical, dental, and AYUSH courses, ensuring their NEET ranks are correctly integrated into the state admission process.
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has opened a fresh application link for candidates who have qualified in UG-NEET for admission to medical courses but have not yet applied for UG-CET. The application window will remain open until July 24.
A separate link will be provided soon for candidates who applied for the UG-CET earlier and are eligible after the NEET results to link their NEET roll number with the CET application. However, those who have not yet applied can apply afresh now.
H. Prasanna, Executive Director, KEA, said, “Seats will be allotted to these students considering their NEET exam rank for admission to courses including Medical, Dental, Ayurveda, Unani, and Homoeopathy courses. Non-Karnataka candidates may also register on the KEA portal and pay the fee. They should also upload their Class XII marks card when registering on the KEA portal. They don’t have to come for document verification.”
