Out of 469 candidates who appeared for NCC certificate verification, 467 have been declared eligible by the board.

This list is critical for the next stage of counselling and seat allocation.
467 out of 469 NCC Category candidates are eligible for MBBS/BDS admission in Andhra Pradesh 2026-27; check the detailed list to confirm your eligibility status and ensure your NCC certificate was issued before Class 12 qualification.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the NCC Category in NEET UG Counselling?
The NCC Category is a special quota reserved for candidates who hold a valid National Cadet Corps (NCC) certificate. This is a separate counselling stream in Andhra Pradesh NEET UG admissions, distinct from the general merit, SC, ST, and OBC categories.
Candidates in the NCC Category compete among themselves for a fixed number of MBBS and BDS seats allocated to this quota. The seats are filled based on NEET rank within the NCC-eligible pool, not the general merit list.
Who is Eligible for the NCC Category?
To be eligible for the NCC Category, a candidate must hold a valid NCC certificate issued by the National Cadet Corps. The certificate must have been issued on or before the date the candidate qualified in Class 12 (i.e., the date of the Class 12 board exam result).
The NCC certificate is typically awarded to students who complete NCC training in school or college. The certificate must be genuine and verifiable by the university authorities.
- NCC certificate must be issued before or on the date of Class 12 qualification
- Certificate must be from a recognized NCC unit
- Certificate must be valid and not expired at the time of verification
Critical Eligibility Trap: NCC Certificate Issue Date
⚠️ **This is the most common reason for rejection.** Your NCC certificate must have been issued **on or before the date you qualified in Class 12**. If your certificate was issued after you passed Class 12, you are **automatically ineligible**, even if you hold a valid NCC certificate.
In this list, two candidates—Patan Afreen Khatoon (Rank 818876) and Thoppani Susmitha Sree (Rank 523791)—were marked ineligible for exactly this reason. Their NCC certificates were obtained after they qualified in Class 12. This is a hard rule with no exceptions.
Check your Class 12 result date (the date your board announced your results) and compare it with the issue date on your NCC certificate. If the certificate date is later, you will be rejected during counselling.
- Class 12 qualification date = the date your board exam results were announced
- NCC certificate issue date must be on or before this date
- Certificates issued after Class 12 qualification are not accepted, regardless of when you completed the training

How to Check If You Are on the Eligible List
The university has released a detailed list of all 467 eligible candidates. The list includes your registration ID, NEET rank, name, and verification status. You must search for your name and registration ID in this list to confirm your eligibility.
The list is organized by serial number and includes columns for registration ID, NEET rank, NEET score, regimental number (if applicable), candidate name, date of birth, father's name, year of admission, NCC/YES status, college assigned, and percentage of grace marks (if any).
If your name appears on this list with a 'Yes' in the NCC/YES column and 'Verified and found Correct' in the verification status, you are eligible to participate in NCC Category counselling.
- Search for your registration ID or name in the list
- Confirm your NEET rank and score match your records
- Check that the NCC/YES column shows 'Yes'
- Verify the status column shows 'Verified and found Correct'
- Note the college assigned and any grace marks mentioned
What Happens If You Are Not on the List?
If your name does not appear on the eligible candidates list, it means your NCC certificate verification failed. The most common reasons are: (1) your NCC certificate was issued after you qualified in Class 12, (2) your certificate could not be verified as genuine, or (3) you did not submit a valid NCC certificate during the application process.
If you believe your exclusion is an error, you must contact Dr. NTR University immediately with supporting documents (your Class 12 result certificate and NCC certificate). However, the university's decision based on the verification report is final for counselling purposes.
- NCC certificate issued after Class 12 qualification = ineligible
- Certificate could not be verified as genuine = ineligible
- No valid NCC certificate submitted = ineligible
- Contact the university only if you believe there is a factual error in the verification
Grace Marks and Their Impact
Some candidates on the eligible list have been awarded grace marks. These are shown in the 'Percentage of Grace Marks' column. Grace marks are typically awarded to candidates who have a minor deficiency in their NCC certificate or documentation but are otherwise eligible.
Grace marks do not affect your NEET rank or your position in the NCC Category merit list. They are noted for administrative purposes and may be relevant during the final admission process. Your NEET rank remains your primary criterion for seat allocation.
- Grace marks are shown as a percentage (e.g., 1%, 3%)
- They do not change your NEET rank
- They do not affect your position in the NCC Category counselling
- They are noted for administrative and compliance purposes
What Happens Next in the Counselling Process?
Now that the eligible candidates list has been released, the next step is NCC Category counselling. The university will conduct counselling rounds in which eligible candidates are called to choose their preferred college and course (MBBS or BDS) based on their NEET rank and the availability of seats.

The Two Ineligible Candidates: What Went Wrong?
Two candidates were marked ineligible in this verification round. Both were rejected for the same reason: their NCC certificates were obtained after they qualified in Class 12.
**Candidate 1:** Patan Afreen Khatoon (Registration ID: UG26CG0100633, NEET Rank: 818876). Her NCC certificate was issued after her Class 12 qualification date, making her ineligible.
**Candidate 2:** Thoppani Susmitha Sree (Registration ID: UG26CG0100685, NEET Rank: 523791). Similarly, her NCC certificate was issued after she qualified in Class 12, resulting in ineligibility.

How do I know if I am eligible for the NCC Category?
You are eligible if: (1) you hold a valid NCC certificate, (2) the certificate was issued on or before the date you qualified in Class 12, and (3) your certificate has been verified as genuine by the university. Check the official eligible candidates list released by NTRUHS on 1 October 2026. If your name appears with 'Yes' in the NCC column and 'Verified and found Correct' in the status, you are eligible.
What is the most common reason for ineligibility in the NCC Category?
The most common reason is that the NCC certificate was issued after the candidate qualified in Class 12. The rule is strict: your NCC certificate must have been issued on or before the date your Class 12 board exam results were announced. If your certificate is dated after your Class 12 result date, you are ineligible, regardless of when you completed the NCC training. Two candidates in this list were rejected for exactly this reason.
I am on the eligible list. What do I do next?
Prepare all required documents (NEET admit card, Class 10 and 12 certificates, NCC certificate, Aadhar, caste/income certificates if applicable, and medical fitness certificate). Watch the NTRUHS website for the counselling schedule announcement. When counselling dates are announced, attend on time with all original or certified documents. Counselling will be conducted in order of NEET rank within the NCC Category.
What if my name is not on the eligible list?
If your name is not on the list, your NCC certificate verification failed. The most likely reasons are: (1) your certificate was issued after Class 12 qualification, (2) your certificate could not be verified as genuine, or (3) you did not submit a valid NCC certificate. Contact NTRUHS immediately with supporting documents if you believe there is an error. However, the university's verification decision is final for counselling.
What are grace marks, and do they affect my rank?
Grace marks are shown as a percentage (1%, 3%, etc.) in the eligible candidates list. They are awarded to candidates with minor documentation deficiencies but who are otherwise eligible. Grace marks do not change your NEET rank or your position in the NCC Category merit list. They are noted for administrative purposes only.
When will NCC Category counselling take place?
The eligible candidates list was released on 1 October 2026. The university will announce the counselling schedule separately on the official NTRUHS website (drntr.uhsap.in). Check the website regularly for the exact dates, reporting time, and venue. Do not miss the counselling date, as absence may result in forfeiture of your seat.
How many candidates are eligible for NCC Category counselling?
467 out of 469 candidates who appeared for NCC certificate verification have been declared eligible. Two candidates were marked ineligible because their NCC certificates were issued after they qualified in Class 12. These 467 eligible candidates will participate in NCC Category counselling for MBBS and BDS seats.
What documents must I bring to counselling?
You must bring: NEET admit card and result printout, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and certificates, original NCC certificate, Aadhar card or passport, caste certificate (if applicable), income certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate (if required), medical fitness certificate, character certificate from school/college, and passport-size photographs. Ensure all documents are original or certified copies and that information matches across all documents.
Can I appeal if I am marked ineligible?
If you believe your ineligibility is due to a factual error (e.g., the university has the wrong Class 12 result date), contact NTRUHS immediately with supporting documents. However, the university's verification decision based on the official report is final for counselling purposes. Appeals based on the rule itself (NCC certificate issue date) will not be accepted.
What is the difference between the NCC Category and the general merit list?
The NCC Category is a separate quota with its own merit list based on NEET rank among NCC-eligible candidates only. You do not compete with general merit candidates. Seats are allocated separately to the NCC Category. If you are eligible for the NCC Category, you participate in NCC Category counselling, not the general counselling.
If I am on the eligible list, am I guaranteed a seat?
No. Being on the eligible list means you qualify to participate in NCC Category counselling. However, seat allocation depends on your NEET rank, the number of NCC Category seats available, and your choice of college and course. Candidates with higher NEET ranks get priority in seat selection. You must attend counselling to secure a seat.
What happens if I do not attend counselling on the scheduled date?
If you are absent from counselling, your seat may be allocated to the next eligible candidate in the merit list. You will lose your opportunity for admission in that counselling round. Attendance is mandatory. If you have a genuine emergency, contact the university immediately before the counselling date.
If your name is on the eligible candidates list released by NTRUHS on 1 October 2026, you are cleared to participate in NCC Category counselling for MBBS and BDS admissions in Andhra Pradesh 2026-27. Verify your eligibility status immediately by checking the detailed list on the official website. Prepare all required documents and watch for the counselling schedule announcement. Do not miss the counselling date—attendance is mandatory for seat allocation. If you have any doubts about your eligibility or cannot find your name, contact Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, at the earliest.
