After Tech Glitch, Karnataka NEET 2021 Counselling Dates Extended Again

Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has extended the registration of the state National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2021 counselling following technical glitches on the official website. The last date to apply was December 22 up to 5 pm, however, due to technical issues, many students could not submit their forms. Thus, students who were unable to register themselves for the counselling complained to the authorities who further decided to extend the last date.

Ramya S, executive director of KEA told a leading news daily that due to several admission processes going on simultaneously such as BSc Nursing, NEET, and diploma lateral entry, there were server problems, but it has now been fixed and the last date to register for the medical colleges has been extended too.
