🏥 New Medical Colleges with 50 Additional MBBS Seats
The following four medical colleges in Karnataka have each added 50 new MBBS seats:
| Medical College | Seat Increase |
|---|---|
| Subbaiah Institute of Medical Sciences | +50 seats |
| BGS Medical College | +50 seats |
| Sridevi Institute of Medical Sciences | +50 seats |
| AJ Institute of Medical Sciences | +50 seats |
Due to these additions, the option entry (choice filling) window has been extended, allowing both new and existing candidates to participate.
📅 Extended Option Entry (Choice Filling) Schedule
| Process | Date / Time |
|---|---|
| Extended Option Entry (All Candidates) | Till 15 October 2025, 8:00 AM |
| Option Entry (for already admitted Round 1 & 2 candidates) | 11:00 AM on 15 October to 8:00 AM on 16 October 2025 |
📍 Important: KEA has clearly mentioned —
“The date will not be extended further for option entry.”
Hence, 15 October is the final deadline, and no additional extension will be provided.
⚙️ Who Can Re-Enter Choice Filling?
Students who have already joined a college in Round 1 or Round 2 can now:
✅ Log in again between 15–16 October (8 AM)
✅ Add or modify preferences specifically for the four colleges with new seat additions (Subbaiah, BGS, Sridevi, AJ)
✅ Submit updated options for upgradation
⚠️ Important Advisory from MCMF
While this extension is a positive opportunity, students must proceed cautiously.
💡 If you are upgraded to a new seat, your previous seat will automatically be cancelled.
So before editing your options, consult your parents or guardians and understand the implications.
✅ Think carefully before adding new colleges for upgrade.
✅ Ensure your preferred college and seat type is correctly ranked.
✅ Once upgraded, your previous seat is forfeited permanently.
✅ No second chance after 16 October 8:00 AM.
💬 MCMF Expert Tip: This update brings fairness to the process by allowing previously admitted students a fair opportunity to opt for newly added seats — but it must be used wisely.
