The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has put the NEET PG 2025 Round 3 allotment result on hold following a High Court direction to reopen option entry for in-service candidates. The revised result is expected on 17 February 2026.
Karnataka NEET PG 2025 Round 3 allotment result has been withheld by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) following a direction from the Karnataka High Court. The authority has been instructed to reopen the option entry window for in-service candidates before releasing the revised seat allotment list.
High Court Directs Reopening of Option Entry
The decision comes after two in-service category candidates approached the High Court, seeking acceptance of their Form-H submissions dated 8 January 2026 and 20 January 2026. These forms pertained to de-categorised in-service seats that remained vacant after the second round of counselling.The petitioners requested that these vacant seats be offered to eligible in-service candidates before the commencement of the mop-up round. As no action was taken earlier, the matter was brought before the court.The Bengaluru division bench comprising Justice Jayant Banerji and Justice T.M. Nadaf reserved its judgment on 12 February 2026. The bench directed that the earlier interim order will remain in effect until the final judgment, allowing KEA to conduct option entry and registration for in-service candidates.
List of Vacant De-Categorised Seats
Before listing the seats, it is important to note that these positions remained unfilled after Round 2 counselling and are central to the ongoing legal matter.The five seats include:
- Anaesthesia – GRIMS Gadag
- Anaesthesia – Bidar Institute of Medical Sciences (BRIMS), Bidar
- General Medicine – KVG Medical College, Sullia
- Anaesthesia – Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Bengaluru
- Dermatology – Kodagu Institute of Medical Sciences
Expected Date for Round 3 Allotment Result
Following the High Court’s direction, KEA has paused the publication of the Karnataka NEET PG 2025 Round 3 seat allotment result. The authority is expected to reopen the option entry process for in-service candidates and revise the allotment accordingly.The updated Round 3 result is now expected to be released on 17 February 2026, subjectto further court directions.Candidates participating in the counselling process are advised to regularly check the official KEA website for updates regarding the revised allotment schedule and further instructions related to reporting and admission formalities.
