The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has published the NEET UG 2026 seat matrix for Karnataka state-quota MBBS and BDS admissions. It lists the category-wise seats in every participating college, which candidates use to plan their choices before locking their KEA options.
What the seat matrix shows
- Seats in each medical and dental college, split across the general, rural and Kannada-medium categories and the reserved categories (SC, ST, C-1, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B) and special quotas (Hyderabad-Karnataka, GMP, NRI, minority, defence, PwD and others).
- The figures are the KEA state-quota share — the 15% All India Quota seats in each college are counselled separately by MCC.
- Newly added colleges appear this year, including G R Medical College Hospital & Research Centre. We have added the new colleges to our Karnataka college list so your rank check covers them.
Match the seat matrix against last year’s Karnataka MBBS closing ranks and BDS closing ranks, see the full list of Karnataka medical colleges, and use our college predictor to find the seats your rank can reach. Our Karnataka counselling guide explains the KEA process.
