The short answer. KEA’s stray round closed at 6 PM on 25 October; a special stray round now follows (register 2–4 November, ₹25 lakh caution deposit for MBBS, result 11 November). OEF has been quoted ₹70 lakh (Srinivas), ₹75 lakh (Kanachur) and ₹80 lakh (Navodaya) for the full course. A seat comes only through KEA counselling, so call us before you pay anything.
What Is Still Open
and What Is Not
Reporting deadline for KEA stray round seats: 6 PM on 25 October 2026.
This is KEA’s own deadline for candidates who already hold a stray round seat. KEA says it will not be extended. A seat not reported for is lost.
| Date and time (2026) | What KEA has set |
|---|---|
| 22 Oct | Stray vacancy round seat allotment results declared |
| 22 to 24 Oct | Payment of fees by allotted candidates |
| Before 4:00 PM on 24 Oct | Seat confirmation slip |
| Before 6:00 PM on 25 Oct | Reporting at the allotted college with originals and two sets of photocopies. KEA says the dates will not be extended. |
| 23 Oct, 4:00 PM | Stray Vacancy Continued Round: caution deposit and option entry were set to close, after an extension |
| After 25 Oct | No further KEA date on what we hold. Only a KEA notice can open a new window. |
How many seats remain is not something OEF, a college or an agent can tell you. Only KEA’s lists show it. Dates are from the KEA notices of 15, 22 and 23 October 2026; see Karnataka NEET UG counselling 2026 for each notice.
Three Karnataka Colleges,
Quoted to OEF
| College | KEA management fee, tuition per year | OEF full-course quote | First year | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Srinivas Institute of Medical Research Centre Mangalore | ₹29,75,000 | ₹70,00,000 | ₹25,00,000 | ₹45,00,000 in two instalments of ₹22,50,000 |
| Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre Mangalore | ₹28,61,950 | ₹75,00,000 | ₹28,00,000 | ₹47,00,000 in instalments |
| Navodaya Medical College Raichur | ₹27,36,950 | ₹80,00,000 | ₹30,00,000 | ₹50,00,000 in instalments |
OEF’s service charge is extra and is told to you before you commit. Hostel, mess, deposits and books are not part of the quote. A quote is not a seat: every seat is allotted by KEA on your rank, and the college must be on the current NMC list for 2026-27.
Read the two money columns as two different things
The KEA column is the fee KEA publishes for the management quota. The OEF column is a full-course figure quoted to OEF. They are not the same kind of number, and the fee that applies to your seat depends on the quota and round in which KEA allots it. Before you pay, ask the college for its fee schedule for your seat category, with each year’s amount and what it covers.
Four Things to Do
Before You Pay Anything
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1. Check your own KEA status | Log in to the KEA portal. Do you already hold a stray round seat? If yes, the 6 PM on 25 October reporting deadline decides it. Finish that first. |
| 2. Keep these ready | NEET UG 2026 scorecard and rank, KEA application number, category certificate if you claim a reservation, and your Class 12 marksheet. |
| 3. Call us before any payment | Call 9085064444 or 9085065555 with your rank and category. We check it against the KEA lists and tell you plainly if nothing is left for you. A plain no today costs you less than a wrong yes. |
| 4. Ask for the fee schedule | Get the college’s fee schedule for your seat category before you pay. Pay only into the college’s official account, against a numbered receipt. |
If you do not hold a seat and your rank is not close to what a college asked at the last KEA round, we will say that too. See the closing scores on the KEA portal and on our Karnataka counselling page.
Before You Pay Anything,
Run These Checks
1. Your name is on a KEA letter
The seat appears in the official KEA allotment, with your name and application number on it.
2. The college is on the NMC list
It is on the current National Medical Commission list of permitted colleges for 2026-27.
3. You hold the fee schedule
You have the college’s fee schedule for your seat category: each year, deposits, and what each covers.
4. Every rupee goes to the college
The payment goes into the college’s official account, against a numbered receipt. Never to a person or a personal account.
5. You know the exit terms
You know the instalment dates and what happens to your fees if you resign or the seat is cancelled.
What the Law
Says About a Seat
No one can sell a seat
NEET UG is compulsory for every MBBS seat in India under the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, and every seat, management and NRI included, is allotted only through official counselling. In Karnataka that is KEA.
Capitation fee is illegal
The Karnataka Educational Institutions (Prohibition of Capitation Fee) Act, 1984 prohibits it, and the Supreme Court has held it illegal (Unni Krishnan 1993, T.M.A. Pai 2002, P.A. Inamdar 2005). A seat offered for money outside KEA counselling is a warning sign.
Fees are regulated
Karnataka fixes fees for professional courses under its own law and publishes them through KEA. Pay only what your seat category carries, and keep every receipt.
Questions Parents Ask Us
Only KEA can say. KEA's stray vacancy round results were declared on 22 October 2026, and candidates who hold a seat must report before 6 PM on 25 October, with no extension. The continued round option entry was set to close at 4 PM on 23 October. We hold no KEA date after 25 October. Call us with your rank and we will check it against the KEA lists.
OEF has been quoted Rs 70 lakh for the full course at Srinivas Institute of Medical Research Centre (Mangalore), Rs 75 lakh at Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences (Mangalore) and Rs 80 lakh at Navodaya Medical College (Raichur). OEF's service charge is extra. Hostel, mess, deposits and books are not part of the quote.
No. KEA publishes a management quota tuition fee for each college: Rs 29,75,000 a year at Srinivas, Rs 28,61,950 at Kanachur and Rs 27,36,950 at Navodaya. The package is a separate figure quoted to OEF. The fee that applies to your seat depends on the quota and the round in which KEA allots it, so ask the college for its fee schedule for your seat category.
No. Nobody can. Every MBBS seat in Karnataka is allotted by KEA counselling on NEET UG rank. OEF guides you through the process and checks your options; it does not allot seats.
Pay the college, into its official bank account, against a numbered receipt, and keep every receipt. Never pay a seat amount to a person, an agent or a personal account. OEF's own service charge is separate and is paid to OEF only.
Check your KEA status, keep your NEET UG 2026 scorecard and KEA application number ready, and call OEF on 9085064444 or 9085065555 before you pay anything. If no option is left for your rank, we will tell you so.
