The NEET Counseling 2022 is a process of allocating seats in medical colleges by respective authorities on the basis of the rank and preferences of students. This procedure is done by two authorities: the Medical Counseling Committee (MCC) for 15% of the All India Quota seats and the state's counseling authorities for 85% of the state quota seats. There are generally four rounds, which are: Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up Round, and Stray Vacancy Round. The registration procedure for NEET counseling is as follows:
Go to the MCC website for AIQ or your state's official website for state quota. Click on the UG Counselling tab, which will display a registration link.

No, you will not be eligible for state quotas simultaneously in both Kerala and Karnataka. The reason is that every state has its own rule for an 85% state quota. For the Karnataka state quota, a candidate should have done schooling in this state for a minimum of seven years. Also, they should have valid resident proof of state. For the Kerala state quota, candidates should be a resident of Kerala for a period of five years or have studied in Kerala from class 8 to 12. Basically, you will be eligible for the state quota of that state if you have completed your schooling up to the 12th grade. Therefore, you are eligible for the Karnataka State NEET Quota if you have completed your schooling here.
