Registration was open from 23 to 26 September 2026. The course-wise eligibility is fixed by the Directorate of Medical Education, the Karnataka State Nursing Council and RGUHS and is not repeated in the KEA files, and neither is the merit basis (the KEA bulletin of September 2026 describes the entrance test of M.P.T and the M.Sc Allied Health courses, not of M.Sc Nursing): check both in the information booklet on the KEA website.

KEA allots seats online in the order of merit and the preference of options the candidate enters, for government colleges and the government seats of private colleges; KEA's role is registration, document verification, option entry, seat allotment and the admission order, and every admission stays subject to approval by the Government, the Directorate of Medical Education and the University.
