KEA Extends UG NEET 2026 Application Deadline to July 30; Roll Number Linking Pending
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has extended the deadline for fresh UG NEET 2026 applications to July 30, 2026, from the earlier July 24 date. This extension applies to candidates who appeared for NEET UG 2026 and are eligible for medical admissions but have not yet applied through the KEA portal. KEA clarified that NEET result data has not yet been received, so applicants need not enter their NEET roll numbers during registration. The roll number linking facility will be activated once the data is available, after which document verification will proceed.
