Karnataka NEET UG Document Verification 2026: Appointment Link Live for Clause B to Clause O Candidates

Overview

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has started the online slot booking process for document verification for NEET UG admissions in Karnataka. Candidates who are claiming domicile or reservation benefits under Clause B to Clause O must log in to the official portal and book a verification slot.

Booking an appointment is very important, as it allows candidates to complete their document verification at assigned KEA centres. Without this step, candidates will not be considered eligible for further admission processes.

This verification is done offline at selected centres and is compulsory for admission to medical, dental, and AYUSH courses under the state quota. Candidates are advised to book their slots early to avoid last-minute issues and ensure they complete the process on time without any confusion or delays.

Key Verification Details

Understanding Eligibility Clauses B to O

Understanding Clause B to Clause O

While Clause A is for students who studied in Karnataka for seven continuous years, Clauses B to O are meant for candidates under special conditions like domicile, defense, language, or institutional categories.

Why Verification is Required

These categories need extra and specific documents. That is why KEA conducts manual (offline) verification at designated centers to confirm eligibility.

Category-wise Explanation

• Clause B: Candidates who studied in Karnataka for less than 7 years but whose parents studied in the state for at least 7 years.
• Clause C: Candidates whose parents are domiciled in Karnataka and whose mother tongue is Kannada, Tulu, or Kodava.
• Clause D / E: Children of defense personnel, ex-servicemen, or Central Armed Police Forces posted in or belonging to Karnataka.
• Clause F / G: Children of Central or State Government employees or PSU staff working in Karnataka.
• Clause H to O: Includes special categories such as Jammu & Kashmir migrants, Horanadu or Gadinadu Kannada candidates, and those applying under specific institutional quotas.

Understanding your correct clause helps in preparing the right documents and avoiding rejection.
