Karnataka NEET UG 2025 Counselling: Option Modification Continues Today!

Karnataka NEET UG 2025 Round 1 option modification for counselling is ongoing today, July 27. Medical aspirants, refine choices on cetonline.karnataka.gov.in by July 29.

The Karnataka NEET UG 2025 Mock Allotment Result for Round 1, published by the KEA on July 25, 2025, served as a preliminary indicator of the potential seat allotment for medical and dental candidates. This mock allotment has empowered aspirants to assess their current standing and make informed decisions regarding their final choice filling.

Mock Allotment Insights: The mock allotment result provided a clear picture of probable seat allocations based on the candidates' ranks, categories, and previously submitted options. This transparency is vital for strategic planning in the counselling process.

Active Option Modification: The option modification window, which opened yesterday, July 26, 2025, is fully active today, July 27, 2025. This allows candidates to:

Add new college or course choices that they might now consider.

Delete options that are no longer preferred or deemed unsuitable.

Re-order their existing preferences to align with their highest priorities after analyzing the mock allotment and considering their merit position.

Crucial Deadline: The deadline for making these crucial changes is July 29, 2025. Medical aspirants must ensure all modifications are submitted and locked before this cut-off to be considered for the subsequent allotment rounds.

Strategic Option Editing: Maximizing Your Chances 

Effective utilization of the option modification period is paramount for aspirants to optimize their seat allocation in Karnataka's medical and dental colleges. This is not merely about changing choices but about making strategic, data-driven decisions.

Key Steps for Strategic Option Editing:

Analyze Mock Allotment: Carefully examine your mock allotment status. If you received a seat, evaluate if it's a desirable college and course. If not, identify why you missed out on higher preferences.

Review Previous Year Cut-offs: Compare your NEET UG rank with previous year's cut-off ranks for your preferred colleges and courses in Karnataka. This helps gauge realistic possibilities.

Research Colleges and Courses: Deeply research the colleges you are considering. Look into their academic reputation, infrastructure, faculty, clinical exposure (for MBBS), and campus life.

Prioritize Wisely: Arrange your choices in strict order of your genuine preference. Place your most desired colleges and courses at the top, followed by other acceptable options.

Utilize the KEA Portal: Access the option entry modification link on cetonline.karnataka.gov.in. Use your NEET UG application number and password to log in.

Save and Lock Choices: After making all desired changes, ensure you save them. Most importantly, lock your choices before the July 29, 2025, deadline. Unlocked choices will not be considered for final allotment. It is highly recommended to take a printout of your locked options for future reference.

This strategic approach will significantly impact the outcome of the final seat allotment.

What Comes Next: Allotment & Admission Dates 

Following the conclusion of the option modification phase, KEA will proceed with the final seat allotment rounds. Medical aspirants should keep track of these upcoming dates:

Provisional First Round Real Allotment Result: The provisional real allotment result for Karnataka NEET UG 2025 Round 1 is expected to be released on August 1, 2025.

Final First Round Allotment Result: The final Round 1 seat allotment results will be published on August 2, 2025.

Exercising Choices after Final Allotment: Candidates who are allotted a seat in the final first round will then need to exercise their choices (Choice 1, 2, 3, or 4) between August 4 and August 7, 2025. This involves either accepting the allotted seat, opting for an upgrade in subsequent rounds, or withdrawing from the counselling process.
