According to an official KEA notice, candidates who were allotted seats in round 2 of Karnataka NEET PG counselling and joined the allotted college after paying the admission fee are eligible to participate in round 3 for seat upgradation.
The notice further stated that candidates who newly registered with KEA, completed document verification, and submitted original documents as per the January 17, 2026 notification, are also eligible for the round 3 seat allotment.
