Deciding Your Next Steps: Choice Options Explained

After logging into the KEA portal, candidates must select an option based on what they want to do with their Round 2 seat allotment. Choosing the correct option is important because it determines whether the candidate will keep the seat, try for an upgrade, or leave the counselling process.

1. Choice 1: Accept and Freeze

Who should select this: Candidates who are satisfied with their Round 2 college and course and do not want to participate in further rounds, such as Mop-Up or Extended rounds.

Action Required: Pay the required tuition fee through KEA, download the Confirmation Slip, complete document verification, collect the necessary verification documents, and report physically to the allotted college within the given deadline.

2. Choice 2: Accept and Upgrade

Who should select this: Candidates who are happy with their current Round 2 seat but want to participate in the Mop-Up round to try for a higher preference.

Action Required: Pay the prescribed fee to KEA and follow the required admission process. The Round 2 seat is retained while the candidate participates in the upgrade process. If a higher preference is allotted, the earlier Round 2 seat is cancelled automatically. If there is no upgrade, the Round 2 seat continues.

3. Choice 3: Reject and Upgrade

Who should select this: Candidates who are not satisfied with their Round 2 allotment and do not want to keep the current seat, but still wish to participate in later rounds.

Action Required: Do not pay the fee for the allotted seat. The Round 2 seat will be surrendered and returned to the common pool. The candidate can then participate in the Mop-Up round, subject to the applicable counselling rules.

4. Choice 4: Reject and Exit

Who should select this: Candidates who no longer want to continue with Karnataka NEET UG 2026 counselling, such as those who have secured admission through AIQ or another state counselling process.

Action Required: No fee payment is required. The candidate will leave the remaining Karnataka counselling rounds and will not be considered for further seat allotments.
