Overview
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the Karnataka UGNEET 2026 NBE score list for candidates seeking admission through the state counselling process. The list enables applicants to check their score, state rank and roll-number details before participating in counselling. This is an admission notification, not a recruitment drive; therefore, the total number of seats will be notified separately in the official seat matrix.
