Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has, on government directions, invited online applications from UGNEET 2026 qualified candidates who meet the eligibility for MBBS, BDS and AYUSH admissions. Candidates who have already applied for CET-2026 must now link their NEET roll number on the KEA portal.
Process for Existing UGCET-2026 Applicants
Candidates who are already registered for UGCET-2026 do not need to file a fresh application. They only have to log in to the KEA portal and enter their UG NEET 2026 roll number. The linking window runs from 7:00 PM on 30-07-2026 to 11:00 AM on 05-08-2026, with a break in server availability on 02-08-2026 between 8:00 AM and 12:00 Noon.
Who Qualifies
Eligibility is limited to candidates who have cleared UGNEET-2026 with the minimum prescribed marks, covering admissions to MBBS, BDS, Ayurveda, Unani and Homoeopathy programmes. The relaxation in qualifying marks for SC/ST/OBC candidates is available only to SC/ST/OBC candidates from Karnataka.
Verification Slip and Application Steps
KEA has outlined two steps for eligible UGCET-2026 registrants:
- Download the application form after verifying the printed NEET roll number through the designated link on the KEA website.
- Download the UUGET application form separately. As the documents stand already verified online, no fresh document verification or claims will be taken up for UGCET.
Candidates are advised to stay tuned to the official KEA website for further notifications on the UGNEET-CET 2026 admission process.
