Karnataka UGCET 2026 Update: How to Submit NEET UG Roll Number & Admit Card on KEA Portal

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) of India has officially released new rules for document submission for the 2026 UGCET medical admissions.

Only NEET qualified candidates may take part in the subsequent counselling process.

All candidates applying for this round of medical admissions must complete the submission and pre-verification of the required NEET documents before counselling launches.

The new regulation applies to:

• MBBS
• BDS
• AYUSH courses
• All other NEET-linked medical programs across Karnataka

KEA has also launched a dedicated document submission portal for candidates to complete the required procedures.

? Document Requirements

Candidates must upload a clear copy of their 2026 NEET UG admission ticket as required.

Before submission, all candidates must verify:

• Spelling of their name
• Application number
• Clarity of their personal photo
• Legibility of their signature

This helps avoid having their application rejected for non-compliant documents.

? Step-by-Step Operation Guide

Step 1

Access the official candidate login entry for KEA’s 2026 UGCET.

Step 2

Complete identity verification and log in using:

• UGCET application number
• Password
• Mobile OTP

Step 3

Accurately fill in:

• NEET roll number
• NEET application number

Step 4

Upload the fully verified admission ticket file as required by the platform.

Step 5

After submitting all information:

• Download the confirmation page
• Print the confirmation page for records

This serves as proof of submission.

?? Risk Warning

Previously, some candidates reported on online forums that they faced review delays due to incorrectly entered NEET registration numbers.

KEA only opens an information correction channel for a small number of special cases.

Most candidates who enter incorrect information cannot modify their details.

Errors in document submission may lead to:

• Cancellation of admission eligibility
• Delays in seat allocation

Blurry or incorrect uploaded documents will be rejected directly.

Submitting materials close to the deadline may also expose candidates to portal traffic congestion, so all candidates must reserve sufficient time for submission.

For additional admissions support, candidates may refer to relevant admissions resources provided by the third-party platform MBBS Advisor.
