Over 400 undergraduate medical seats in Karnataka’s private colleges remain unfilled under the management quota.
High tuition fees, ranging from ₹26 lakh to ₹45 lakh, are leading to student rejections of these seats.
KEA Report: The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) reports 596 seats unfilled after two rounds of allotment; 453 are under the management quota.
College Optimism: Management representatives express confidence that all seats will be filled during the upcoming mop-up round, similar to last year’s experience.
Fee Structure Rules: KEA has instructed colleges not to alter their declared fees after the first allotment round to prevent confusion and complaints.
Student Warning: Students must pay a fee deposit to participate in the mop-up round. Cancellation of accepted seats will result in deposit forfeiture and penalties, barring them from future counseling.
Important Dates:
Fee deposit payment window: October 5 to 8.
Seat selection period: October 7 to 14.
