Overview
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the Karnataka PG NEET Round 1 allotment list for admission to Dental MDS courses for 2026. This is an admission counselling result rather than a recruitment exercise; therefore, there are no posts, while the total number of available MDS seats has not been specified in the brief notification.
Candidates who participated in the first round of counselling can check their allotted dental college, course or speciality, category and allotment status through the official portal. Shortlisted candidates must complete the prescribed fee payment, document verification and college reporting formalities within the notified schedule.
