What These Numbers Do Not Include

All India Quota seats in Karnataka government colleges — these are allotted by MCC, not KEA.
Deemed-university seats allotted by MCC, for example Sri Siddhartha Medical College, Tumakuru.
DNB and DNB diploma seats — KEA publishes these in separate seat matrices.
Later-round changes — this is the Round 1 provisional matrix; KEA publishes an updated matrix before each round.

Total seats

Total PG Seats in Karnataka: Why You See 7,721 or 10,092

You will see three different "total" figures for Karnataka. All three can be correct, because each counts a different pool of seats:

Figure	What it counts	Government	Private
4,724	Seats KEA offers in state PG counselling (Round 1 seat matrix, this page)	2,204 (govt quota)	2,520
~7,721	All MD/MS seats in Karnataka colleges, as reported in 2026–27 seat-matrix summaries (includes AIQ and MCC deemed seats)	~2,143	~5,578
10,092	Broader PG medical capacity in the Health Ministry's state-wise figure	2,805	7,287

For admission planning, use the KEA figure for state counselling and add the MCC pool (All India Quota and deemed universities) separately.

FAQs

PG Seats in Karnataka Questions

How many PG medical seats are there in KEA counselling 2026?

KEA's PG Medical Provisional Seat Matrix 2026 (Round 1, published 30 October 2026) lists 4,724 MD/MS and diploma seats across 65 colleges: 2,204 government-quota seats and 2,520 private, management, NRI and minority seats.

What is the total number of PG medical seats in Karnataka?

It depends on which pool you count. KEA's Round 1 state counselling matrix has 4,724 seats. 2026–27 seat-matrix summaries report about 7,721 MD/MS seats in Karnataka in total (about 2,143 government and 5,578 private), which also covers All India Quota and MCC deemed seats. A broader Health Ministry capacity figure reports 10,092 PG medical seats.

Which PG branch has the most seats in Karnataka?

MD General Medicine, with 502 seats in KEA's Round 1 seat matrix, followed by MD Anaesthesia (435), MS General Surgery (430), MS OBG (372) and MD Paediatrics (350).

How many MD Radiology seats are there in Karnataka through KEA?

293 MD Radio-Diagnosis seats across 45 colleges in KEA's Round 1 seat matrix: 97 government-quota seats and 196 private, management and NRI seats.

Does this include All India Quota and deemed-university seats?

No. This page covers seats allotted by KEA. All India Quota seats in government colleges and deemed-university seats such as Sri Siddhartha Medical College, Tumakuru are allotted by MCC and are not part of KEA's seat matrix. DNB and DNB diploma seats are published in separate KEA seat matrices.

Will the KEA seat matrix change in later rounds?

Yes. This is the Round 1 provisional matrix. KEA publishes an updated seat matrix before each later round as seats are allotted, surrendered or added, so numbers can change.

What do RK and KK mean in the KEA seat matrix?

KEA's own note in the seat matrix says RK means Rest of Karnataka (General) and KK means Kalyana Karnataka. Government-quota seats are split between these two.
