Karnataka PG MDS 2026: KEA Activates Verification Slip Download for Clause A and Y Candidates
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has officially commenced the next phase of the postgraduate medical admissions process by activating the download link for verification slips. As of August 28, candidates falling under Clause A and Clause Y categories can now access their slips to continue with the Karnataka PG NEET MDS 2026 counselling cycle.
The document is a mandatory requirement for all applicants seeking admission into postgraduate dental programs across the state. Candidates who have successfully completed their online registration and fulfilled the payment of the requisite fees are eligible to download the slip directly through the official KEA website, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
Clarification on Document Verification Requirements
While the activation of the link is a milestone for all applicants, the KEA has provided specific guidelines regarding the physical verification process to avoid confusion among candidates.
Generally, those who have applied under Clause ‘a’ or Clause ‘y’ are exempt from appearing in person for document verification. However, an important caveat remains: candidates who fall under these clauses but have also staked a claim for NRI Ward or Religious Minority reservation are required to attend the physical verification process. These individuals must present all original supporting documentation to validate their claims.
The authority has strongly urged all applicants to meticulously review their online application status and the specific guidelines published on the official portal to ensure compliance with the counselling requirements.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Download Your Verification Slip
Candidates can secure their verification slip by following these instructions:
- Navigate to the official KEA website at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
- Locate and click on the designated link for Karnataka PG NEET MDS 2026.
