Karnataka UGNEET 2026 Stray Vacancy Round: KEA Extends Medical Course Fee Deposit Deadline
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released an update for the UGNEET-2026 Online Stray Vacancy Round for medical and dental seats. The notice, dated October 15, 2026, extends the deadlines for payment of the Medical Course Fee Deposit and entry of options.
According to the notification, KEA has permitted certain candidates who do not currently hold a medical seat to participate in the Stray Vacancy Round, subject to payment of the Medical Course Fee Deposit specified in the earlier notification dated October 8, 2026.
The revised deadline for payment of the Medical Course Fee Deposit is 11:00 AM on October 19, 2026. KEA has also extended the deadline for entering options to 1:00 PM on October 19, 2026.
Candidates intending to participate should verify their eligibility and follow the payment and option-entry instructions published by KEA. They should ensure that both steps are completed within the revised timelines to avoid missing the opportunity to participate in the stray vacancy process.
The notice does not mention the exact deposit amount. Candidates should therefore consult the notification issued on October 8, 2026, along with the latest updates available on the official KEA website, for the applicable fee and further instructions.
