The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has set August 17, 2026, as the last date for submitting PG dental course applications for the 2026-27 academic year. Candidates can register on the official website cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea. The application fee can be paid until August 18, 2026, 6 pm.

Freepressjournal.in reports that eligibility requires NEET MDS 2026 qualifying marks, but candidates must also meet Karnataka's specific reservation and seat-category rules. Candidates from outside Karnataka cannot claim state reservation benefits and need the general category cutoff of the 50th percentile in NEET MDS. SC candidates must submit caste certificates with internal classification and RD number.
Freepressjournal.in offers a straightforward instructional piece, listing eligibility and reservation rules without editorial slant. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. The key takeaway is procedural: applicants must ensure they meet both NEET MDS cutoffs and Karnataka-specific criteria, especially for reserved seats. The next deadline to watch is August 17, 2026, for registration, with fee payment extending to August 18.
