The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has issued a crucial, final extension for candidates in the PG NEET 2025 admission process. This last opportunity allows aspirants to complete all mandatory post-seat allotment formalities. The authority has made it clear that no further extensions will be granted beyond this point.
Revised Schedule and Critical Deadlines
Following the announcement of the First Round final seat allotment results, KEA has released a new timeline. This revised schedule covers every step from choice filling to reporting at colleges. Candidates must adhere strictly to these dates to avoid cancellation of their allotted seat.
The key activities and their extended deadlines are as follows:
- Exercise of choices by candidates allotted seats in the first round: Up to 4:00 PM on 04-12-2025.
- Downloading of challan by Choice-1 and Choice-2 candidates for payment: Up to 1:00 PM on 05-12-2025.
- Payment of fees by these candidates: Up to 05-12-2025.
- Submission of original documents at KEA, Malleshwaram (for Choice-1 candidates only): Up to 06-12-2025 (between 10:30 AM and 4:30 PM).
- Downloading of admission order (candidate copy) by eligible Choice-1 candidates: Up to 1:00 PM on 07-12-2025.
- Final reporting to the allotted medical college: Up to 5:30 PM on 07-12-2025.
Mandatory Instructions for Candidates
KEA has issued a strict warning. Failure to meet any of the new deadlines will lead to the immediate cancellation of the allotted seat. Candidates who have chosen Choice-1 must report to their assigned colleges with a specific set of documents.
This mandatory reporting kit includes the Admission Order (candidate copy), one set of photocopies of all annexures and documents, the verification slip, an Aadhaar card for OTP and biometric authentication, and a confirmation that all originals are already deposited at KEA. It is important to note that admission will only be finalized once the college downloads its official College Copy of the admission order.
Colleges Directed to Work on Holidays
To ensure a smooth and uninterrupted counselling process, KEA has taken an unprecedented step. The authority has instructed all participating medical colleges to remain operational on Saturdays, Sundays, and gazetted holidays. This directive, aligned with MCC guidelines, is designed to prevent any administrative delays for candidates during the final verification and reporting stages.
With this final extension, KEA is signaling the conclusive phase of the PG NEET 2025 admission cycle. Candidates are urged to act with utmost precision and urgency, as even a minor delay could result in permanent disqualification from the process. This firm stance underscores the authority's commitment to wrapping up admissions within the stipulated national timeline.
Aspiring doctors should regularly check the official KEA website for the latest updates and download the official notice for complete details.
