KEA NEET Counselling 2024 Stray Vacancy Round Registration Dates

 

 

The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has announced reopening the online registration portal for candidates interested in securing admission to medical, dental, and AYUSH courses through KEA NEET Counselling 2024. The registration process will be available from 21st October 2024 to 23rd October 2024 until 11:59 PM. This opportunity is particularly crucial for candidates aiming to participate in the medical stray vacancy round and the mop-up round for dental and AYUSH seats.

 

Why is the Registration Reopening?

 

Despite earlier notifications, there have been multiple requests from candidates who missed out on registering for the stray vacancy round in medical courses and the mop-up rounds for dental and AYUSH seats. In response to these requests, KEA NEET Counselling 2024 has decided to provide one final opportunity for:

 

1. New candidates who have not registered so far.
   
   
2. Candidates who registered earlier but did not complete the application process.
   
   
   

This step ensures all Stray Vacancy Round eligible candidates can compete for the remaining seats.

 

Eligibility Criteria for Registration

 

To register for the available seats through KEA NEET Counselling 2024, candidates must have achieved the minimum required percentile in the KEA NEET Counselling 2024. The eligibility criteria are:

 

• General (UR) Category: Candidates must score at least the 50th percentile in the KEA NEET Counselling 2024.
  
  
• Reserved Categories (SC/ST/OBC): These categories' specific percentile requirements apply only to Karnataka SC/ST/OBC candidates.

 

Failure to meet the minimum percentile requirements will disqualify candidates from participating in the registration process.

Participating in the Stray Vacancy Round and Mop-Up Rounds

 

After the registration period concludes, KEA NEET Counselling 2024 will release a schedule for the stray vacancy round for medical seats and the mop-up rounds for dental and AYUSH courses. These rounds aim to fill the remaining vacant seats, ensuring no seats are left unutilized.

• This will allow students who have already registered but did not complete the application process to finalize their submissions and participate in the seat allocation.
  
  
• Candidates with scores meeting the minimum percentile requirements, especially those who qualify under reserved categories in Karnataka.

KEA NEET Counselling 2024 follows the Government of Karnataka's reservation policies, which provide specific seat quotas for various categories such as SC, ST, OBC, and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS).
