New registration and NEET enrollment

The online application link is meant only for new registration. Candidates who have not registered with KEA for UGNEET-2026 can use it to apply. The NEET enrollment link was also made available on 13 October 2026. Candidates should open the links on the official KEA website and read the instructions on each page before filling in their details.

AYUSH first round option entry deadline

Candidates taking part in the UG AYUSH 1st round must finish their option entry before 10:00 AM on 14 October 2026. KEA’s mock seat allotment list for the AYUSH 1st round was published earlier, on 12 October 2026. Candidates can use it to review their options before the deadline closes.

What candidates should do

• Visit the official KEA website and open the UGNEET-2026 (Medical/Dental/AYUSH) page under Admissions.
• New candidates should complete registration through the online application link and use the NEET enrollment link as instructed.
• AYUSH candidates should finish and confirm their option entries before 10:00 AM on 14 October 2026. Entries cannot be changed after the window closes.
• Check the KEA notices regularly for the schedule of the AYUSH 1st round allotment, fee payment and admission.

Candidates should not wait until the last moment, as the website can be slow close to a deadline.
