For general category, government seats typically need ranks equivalent to 400–650 NEET score band, while private colleges may admit from lower scores depending on college and quota. We provide a personalised shortlist based on your exact rank and category.
How does KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) counselling work?
KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) conducts state counselling after NEET results. You register on the official portal, verify documents, fill college choices in order of preference, and participate in seat allotment rounds. We guide you through each round.

Yes. Most students register for MCC All India Quota and their state counselling simultaneously. Strategy matters — we help you decide which seat to accept or float in each round.
