The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially released the Round 1 Mock Seat Allotment List for UGNEET 2026 on August 17, 2026. This is a crucial step in the Karnataka NEET UG counselling process, giving medical and dental aspirants a sneak peek into their potential seat allotment based on their current preferences.
If you’ve been anxiously waiting to know where your NEET UG 2026 rank might get you a seat in Karnataka, now is the time to log in, check your tentative allotment, and, if needed, revise your choices before the final allotment.
📌 What is the Mock Seat Allotment?
The mock seat allotment is exactly what it sounds like – a practice run of the actual seat allocation process. It shows you which college and course you would be allotted based on:
- Your All India Rank (AIR)
- Your category
- Your submitted preferences (the order of colleges and courses you chose)
- The available seat matrix
The official document is titled “UGNEET-2026 MEDICAL 1st ROUND MOCK SEAT ALLOTMENT LIST [17-08-2026]” and includes details like Sl. No., All India Rank, Course Code, Name of the College Allotted, Course Name, Category, Course Fees, and Allotment Status.
⚠️ Important: This is not the final seat allotment. Think of it as a reality check – a chance to see if your current preference strategy is working or if you need to make changes.
