Choose the right admission route
Check eligibility clauses, document verification and the relevant seat category separately. A non-Karnataka applicant should not assume eligibility for every seat visible in a matrix.
Central counselling
Use the AACCC ug stream for the institutions and seat categories included in its current bulletin. A state application does not register you with AACCC.
Karnataka admission
Check the separate authority notice for the exact course, quota and session. State, institutional and nomination processes must be identified before paying a fee.
The name of a state in this directory does not confirm that a local college, a specific course or an independent counselling round is available there. Establish that from the current official seat matrix.
Dates, rounds and reporting
The current round schedule must come from the official Karnataka notice for UG. This guide does not label an old announcement as a live registration window.
| Stage | Record these details |
|---|---|
| Registration and payment | Opening date, separate form/payment closing times and transaction confirmation. |
| Verification and corrections | Online or physical mode, deficiency deadline and revised eligibility list. |
| Choice filling and locking | Available choices, edit window, locking method and saved preference receipt. |
| Allotment | Provisional versus final result, allotted course/college and required acceptance action. |
| Reporting and joining | Location, date, exact time, original documents, fee payment and joining receipt. |
| Next round | Fresh registration eligibility, retained choices, upgrade/exit conditions and vacancy list. |
Read revised notices before acting. Registration, choice locking and reporting can close at different times on the same day.

Eligibility Criteria & Non-Karnataka Rules
| Criteria | Details |
|---|---|
| Karnataka Candidates | Eligible for 85% Government quota seats and reservation benefits. Must have valid domicile or satisfy KEA schooling clauses. |
| Non-Karnataka Candidates | Open State Eligibility: Non-Karnataka candidates are eligible ONLY for the notified open/management seats in Private AYUSH Colleges. |
| NEET Percentile for Non-Karnataka | Must have secured minimum 50th percentile (UR category) to register. SC/ST/OBC cutoff criteria apply to Karnataka reserved candidates only. |

| Document Verification | Non-Karnataka candidates who register with KEA do NOT need to appear for physical document verification in Karnataka. |
Domicile, category and seat eligibility
Before adding a Karnataka preference, identify which seat pool you are applying to. A college can have more than one admission route, and the conditions may differ.
- Find the quota and category labels in the official seat matrix.
- Read the matching residence, schooling, institutional or service conditions in the bulletin.
- Check the issuing authority, validity period and format for each claimed certificate.
- Confirm whether an outside-state candidate can apply to that specific seat pool.
Do not assume a fixed reservation percentage or a universal “open state” rule. If a certificate is pending, follow the stated deficiency or correction process rather than assuming it can be submitted after allotment.
Your application, step by step

Counselling Process (Step-by-Step)
Online Registration & Fee Payment
Register on the KEA portal during the notified window and pay the application fee online.
Document Verification
Karnataka domicile candidates must attend document verification at designated nodal centers. Non-Karnataka candidates are exempt.
Option Entry (Choice Filling)
Eligible candidates log in and fill their preferred colleges and courses in priority order.
Mock Allotment & Real Allotment
A mock allotment is released to give an idea, followed by an option editing window. Then the real Round 1 seat allotment is published.
Admission & Reporting
Download the KEA admission order, pay the tuition fees via challan/online, and report to the allotted college.
Fees: build a complete admission budget
Source edition: 2026 reference edition. Confirm any revised rules in the official bulletin.
KEA Registration Fee
Candidates must pay a non-refundable registration fee to participate in the KEA AYUSH Counselling process.
| Category | Registration Fee |
|---|---|
| SC / ST / Category-1 / PwD (Karnataka) | ₹500/- |
| General / 2A / 2B / 3A / 3B | ₹1,000/- |
| NRI / OCI / PIO / Foreign Nationals | ₹5,000/- |
Compare colleges and courses
Shortlist by the course you want to study, then compare government/private ownership, location, clinical exposure, the total cost and the actual seat category. Do not rank a college only by its name or an unofficial intake total.
Use the current college-wise matrix and relevant permissions. A college appearing in an older list does not confirm that all its seats are available in this round.
For earlier cutoffs, match course, quota, category, round, session and rank type. The NEET qualifying cutoff is different from the last admitted candidate’s closing rank.
Upgrades, exit and security deposit
Read the round-specific rules before you choose to join, upgrade or resign. Do not assume a Round 1 facility remains available in a later round.
- Fresh registration: is a new applicant allowed, and is another payment required?
- Choice retention: are previous choices carried forward or must you fill a new list?
- Upgrade: what happens to the existing seat if a higher preference is allotted?
- Exit or resignation: which mode and deadline are valid, and is an acknowledgement required?
- Forfeiture: which actions affect the deposit or eligibility for later rounds?
- Other counselling: how does joining a central, state or institutional seat affect further participation?
Keep the official notice and a copy of every acceptance, resignation or joining acknowledgement. An informal message to a college may not count as a valid portal action.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Karnataka UG counselling questions
Does AACCC registration cover state counselling too?
No. Treat AACCC and the relevant state or institution as separate application routes. Check whether you need separate registration, payment and document verification for the seats you want.
Does this guide confirm that all AYUSH courses are available here?
No. Verify each course and college in the current official matrix. A state page also helps students explore central or nomination routes where a local option is not confirmed.
Can an outside-state candidate apply?
Check the exact quota and category in the Karnataka notice. Do not infer eligibility from the college being private or from a general “open state” description.
Are the reference fees and cutoffs current?
Reference notes are dated background material. Use the applicable session’s official fee order and round result. A previous closing rank does not guarantee an allotment.
What should I save after choice locking?
Save the submitted preference order and the portal’s locking acknowledgement. Recheck instructions if a later round requires new choices.
