The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has recently issued an important update regarding the Special Stray Round for Medical and Dental courses under the KEA NEET UG Counselling 2024 process. This round aims to fill the remaining vacant seats in medical and dental colleges across Karnataka, providing candidates with one last opportunity to secure admission.


This blog will discuss the guidelines for participating in this round, the fee payment process, and the refund updates issued by KEA NEET UG Counselling 2024.

 

Understanding the Special Stray Round

 

The Special Stray Round is conducted to fill unallocated seats after the mop-up round. This round is crucial for students still seeking admission to medical or dental courses as it represents the final stage of the KEA NEET UG Counselling 2024 process. 


Key highlights of the Special Stray Vacancy Round:

 

  • Open to KEA NEET UG Counselling 2024 candidates who meet the NEET eligibility criteria and have yet to be allotted seats in earlier rounds.

  • Requires candidates to comply with the revised fee payment guidelines specified by KEA.

  • Seats are allocated strictly based on merit.

 

Fee Payment Guidelines for Medical/Dental Courses

 

  1. Candidates Who Have Paid Earlier: Candidates who had already paid the Medical Course Fee Deposit in earlier rounds and were not allotted a medical seat are not required to pay the fee again. However, such candidates must ensure they pay any balance fees according to the instructions provided by KEA NEET UG Counselling 2024.


  2. Refunds for Unallotted Candidates: Many candidates who have not been allotted medical seats have requested a refund for their previously paid Medical Course Fee and Caution Deposit. KEA NEET UG Counselling 2024 refunded these amounts to the respective candidates' accounts on November 21, 2024, to facilitate this Fee and Caution Deposit. This refund allows candidates to use the funds for other KEA NEET UG Counselling 2024 processes, such as the MCC Counselling for All India Quota seats.


  3. Re-Payment for Participation: Candidates who have received a refund but wish to participate in the Special Stray Vacancy Round must re-deposit the Medical/Dental Course Fee. The deposit should be made according to the updated instructions provided by KEA NEET UG Counselling 2024.
