BENGALURU: Over 30% of postgraduate dental seats in the state continue to be vacant even after the second round of counselling. This despite the Dental Council of India (DCI) lowering cutoffs this year.
According to data provided by Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), of 933 seats, 643 have been filled and 290 are vacant after the second round of counselling. KEA did not disclose stream-wise break-up, citing an ongoing Supreme Court hearing on admissions in the state.
