Round-wise Seat Matrix: What Changes Each Round

The Karnataka NEET PG seat matrix is not static – it is revised before every counselling round to reflect seats vacated in the previous round:

• Round 1 Seat Matrix: The first, full seat matrix released after document verification, showing all available government, private, NRI, and management seats.
• Round 2 Seat Matrix: Reflects seats left vacant after Round 1 allotment (including seats vacated by candidates who upgraded or did not report).
• Mop-Up Round Seat Matrix: The final round matrix, showing only the seats still vacant after Rounds 1 and 2 – typically the smallest matrix of the counselling cycle.
• Stray Vacancy Round (if conducted): A limited, last-chance round for any seats still vacant after the mop-up round, mostly in private/deemed colleges.
