KEA UGNEET 2026 Round 3 Final Result Released: Fee Payment and Reporting Dates

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the UGNEET-2026 Third Round Seat Allotment Final Results for admission to Medical and Dental courses.

The final allotment result has been published on 6 October 2026, following the third-round provisional results announced on 3 October.

This round was re-run after taking into account seats that became available because of candidate cancellations and candidates who opted out of counselling through Choice-4.

Candidates who have received a seat in the final third-round allotment should now carefully follow the fee payment and college reporting schedule.

KEA UGNEET 2026 Round 3 Final Result

According to the KEA notice dated 6 October 2026, the third-round seat allotment was re-run after considering newly available seats and the options already entered by candidates.

The final result is now available for candidates who participated in the third round of UGNEET counselling for Medical and Dental courses.

Candidates allotted a seat in this round need to complete the required admission formalities within the specified dates.

KEA UGNEET Round 3 Important Dates

The important dates mentioned in the KEA notice are:

Fee Payment: 7 to 9 October 2026

Candidates who have been allotted a Medical or Dental seat in the third round can pay the applicable fees from 7 October to 9 October 2026 during banking hours.

The notice also states that the Caution Deposit, if applicable, will be adjusted against the fee payment.

Candidates should complete the payment within the given window rather than waiting until the last day.

Download Seat Confirmation Slip and Report to College

After completing the required payment formalities, candidates need to download their Seat Confirmation Slip and report to the allotted college.

The reporting window is:

7 October 2026 to 11 October 2026

Candidates are required to report to their respective colleges with all original documents.

One important point mentioned in the notice is that 10 October 2026 is a public holiday. Candidates should therefore plan their college reporting accordingly.

Why Was the Third-Round Allotment Re-Run?

The third-round allotment was re-run after the provisional result announced on 3 October 2026.

KEA considered seats that became available because of:

• Seats cancelled by candidates
• Candidates opting out of counselling through Choice-4
• Options that candidates had already entered during the counselling process

After considering these changes, KEA conducted the third-round seat allotment again and released the final result on 6 October 2026.

What Should Candidates Do After the Final Allotment?

Candidates who have received a seat in the final third round should not stop at checking the allotment result. They need to complete the remaining admission formalities within the prescribed schedule.

Step 1: Check Your Allotment

First, check the final third-round allotment result and confirm the allotted Medical or Dental college and course.

Step 2: Complete Fee Payment

If you have been allotted a seat, complete the applicable fee payment between 7 and 9 October 2026 during banking hours.

If a caution deposit is applicable, it will be adjusted as mentioned in the KEA notice.

Step 3: Download the Seat Confirmation Slip

After completing the required process, download the Seat Confirmation Slip.

Keep a copy of the slip with your admission documents.

Step 4: Report to the Allotted College

Candidates must report to their allotted college between 7 and 11 October 2026 with their original documents.

Do not leave the reporting process until the final day if you can complete it earlier.

Documents for College Reporting

Candidates should keep their original admission documents ready before visiting the allotted college.

The KEA notice specifically requires candidates to report with all original documents. Candidates should therefore check their counselling and college requirements carefully and keep the complete document set ready.

Important Point About 10 October Holiday

The reporting period continues until 11 October 2026, but 10 October is mentioned as a public holiday in the KEA schedule.

Because college working arrangements may differ around a public holiday, candidates should plan their reporting carefully and avoid unnecessary last-minute issues.

What If You Were Not Allotted a Seat?

Candidates who did not receive a seat in the final third-round allotment should first check their individual result and understand their current counselling status.

The next course of action will depend on the counselling rules and any further process announced by KEA.

It is important not to assume that a candidate has no further options without checking the latest official KEA instructions.
