The university has released a comprehensive notifications page listing all counselling-related documents, merit lists, seat matrices, and procedural guidelines.

The Dr. N.T.R. University notifications page is a live, continuously updated repository of all official documents related to NEET UG 2026 MBBS and BDS admissions in Andhra Pradesh. It includes detailed notifications for both Competent Authority Quota (CAP/Convenor Quota) and Management Quota (MQ) counselling, as well as documents for other courses like PG Medical, PG Dental, and AYUSH programs.

The page is organized chronologically, with the most recent notifications at the top.

Application Fees and Payment

The detailed notification for online application specifies the application fee for MBBS and BDS counselling. Fees differ between MQ and CAP quotas and may vary by category. For example, the fee for General category candidates may be different from that for SC/ST/OBC candidates. Some categories may be exempt from fees.

The notification will specify the fee amount, the payment method (online payment gateway, bank transfer, etc.), and the deadline for payment. Payment is typically made online during the application process. Keep the payment receipt/confirmation number safe—you will need it to complete your application.

If you pay the fee but do not submit the application form with documents, your fee will not be refunded. Therefore, ensure you have all documents ready before paying the fee. The notifications page will include lists of candidates who paid the fee but did not submit applications—check these lists to avoid this mistake.

• Application fee varies by quota (MQ vs. CAP) and category
• Payment is made online during application
• Keep the payment receipt/confirmation number
• Fee payment does not guarantee eligibility—you must also submit the application with all documents
• Fee is non-refundable if application is not submitted
• Some categories may be exempt from fees

Merit Lists, Eligibility Lists, and Grievance Redressal

After the application window closes, the university releases a provisional merit list showing all candidates who applied, their NEET scores, and their provisional rank. This list also shows candidates whose documents are pending verification or who are not eligible.

Candidates can file grievances against the provisional merit list if they believe there is an error in their rank, score, or eligibility status. The notification will specify the grievance window (usually 2-3 days). Grievances are filed online through the counselling portal.

After grievances are examined, the university releases a final merit list. This is the list used for counselling. The notifications page will show multiple versions of merit lists: provisional, after grievances, final, etc. Always use the latest (final) merit list.

The page also contains lists of candidates who are 'not eligible' for various reasons—for example, not meeting the age criteria, not having the required qualifications, or having submitted incomplete documents. If your name appears on a 'not eligible' list, you cannot participate in counselling unless you successfully file a grievance and get your status changed.

• Provisional merit list released after application window closes
• Candidates can file grievances against provisional merit list
• Final merit list released after grievance examination
• Always use the final merit list for counselling
• Check 'not eligible' lists to see if your name appears
• If not eligible, file a grievance with supporting documents
• Grievance window is typically 2-3 days—do not miss it

Seat Matrices: Understanding College-Wise and Category-Wise Seats

Seat matrices are tables showing how many MBBS and BDS seats are available in each college, broken down by category (General, SC, ST, OBC, Minority, etc.). The notifications page contains separate seat matrices for different university regions: SVU (Sri Venkateswara University), AU (Andhra University), SWI (Sri Satya Sai University), and minority colleges.

For example, a seat matrix might show: 'SVU MBBS General Category: 50 seats, SC: 15 seats, ST: 10 seats, OBC: 20 seats.' This means in SVU colleges, there are 50 MBBS seats available for General category candidates, 15 for SC, and so on. Different colleges within SVU may have different numbers of seats.

Candidates must study the seat matrix carefully to understand: (1) How many seats are available in their category, (2) Which colleges have seats in their category, (3) Whether seats are available in their preferred colleges. If a college has zero seats in your category, you cannot get a seat there even if your rank is high enough.

Seat matrices may be updated during counselling if new seats are added or if seats are vacated. The notifications page will show updated seat matrices—always use the latest version.

• Seat matrices show college-wise and category-wise seat availability
• Separate matrices for SVU, AU, SWI, and minority colleges
• Categories include General, SC, ST, OBC, Minority, etc.
• Study the matrix to identify colleges with seats in your category
• Seat matrices may be updated during counselling
• Always use the latest seat matrix

Web Options and Allotment Process

After the final merit list is released, eligible candidates are called for counselling in phases. In each phase, candidates log into the counselling portal and fill 'web options'—a ranked list of colleges and courses they prefer. For example, a candidate might list: (1) SVU MBBS, (2) AU MBBS, (3) SVU BDS, (4) AU BDS, etc.

The notifications page contains a document titled 'Notification for Web Options' or 'Web Options Notification' for each phase. This document explains: (1) The dates when web options can be filled, (2) How to log in to the portal, (3) How to rank colleges, (4) What happens if you do not fill web options, and (5) The allotment algorithm used.

After all candidates fill web options, the university runs an allotment algorithm that assigns each candidate to a college based on their rank and preferences. The algorithm respects both the candidate's preference order and the seat availability in each category. A candidate is allotted the highest-ranked college on their list where a seat is available in their category.

The notifications page will show 'College Wise Allotment Lists' for each phase, showing which candidate has been allotted to which college. Candidates must check these lists to see their allotment. If allotted, they must report to the college by the specified date. If not allotted, they can participate in the next phase (if available) or in stray vacancy rounds.

• Eligible candidates fill web options (ranked list of college preferences)
• Web options window is typically 2-3 days per phase
• Allotment is based on rank, preferences, and seat availability
• Check college-wise allotment lists to see your allotment
• Report to the allotted college by the specified date
• If not allotted, participate in next phase or stray vacancy round

Special Categories: NCC, Scouts & Guides, Sports, PwBD

The notifications page contains separate notifications for candidates applying under special categories: NCC (National Cadet Corps), Scouts & Guides, Sports & Games, and PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities). These categories have their own merit lists, eligibility criteria, and counselling schedules.

For NCC and Scouts & Guides categories, candidates must have valid certificates issued by the respective organizations. The notification specifies the format and validity of these certificates. For Sports & Games, candidates must have participated in recognized sports competitions and have certificates from the sports authority.

For PwBD category, candidates must have a valid disability certificate issued by a medical board. The notification specifies the types of disabilities recognized and the minimum percentage of disability required. Candidates with benchmark disabilities (as defined by the NMC/MCI guidelines) are eligible.

Each special category has its own merit list and seat allocation. Candidates in special categories are ranked separately and allotted seats reserved for their category. The notifications page will show separate merit lists and allotment lists for each special category.

• NCC category: Valid NCC certificate required
• Scouts & Guides category: Valid Scouts & Guides certificate required
• Sports & Games category: Valid sports certificate and participation record required
• PwBD category: Valid disability certificate with minimum disability percentage required
• Each category has separate merit list and seat allocation
• Check category-specific notifications for eligibility and documents

Common Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected

⚠️ **Missing or Incomplete Documents**: The most common reason for rejection. If even one required document is missing or incomplete (e.g., blurry scan, wrong format, expired certificate), your application will be rejected. Prepare all documents well in advance and verify they meet the specifications.

⚠️ **Wrong Certificate Type**: For example, submitting a 'Caste Certificate' instead of a 'Caste Validity Certificate,' or submitting a certificate issued before the specified date. The notification specifies exactly which certificate type is required and when it must have been issued. Read this carefully.

⚠️ **Caste Certificate Issues**: If you are applying under SC/ST/OBC category, your caste certificate must be issued by the competent authority (District Collector or equivalent) and must be valid as per the notification. A certificate issued by a Gram Panchayat or Tahsildar may not be accepted. The certificate must show your caste name and the category (SC/ST/OBC).

⚠️ **PwBD Certificate Issues**: If applying under PwBD category, your disability certificate must be issued by a medical board as specified in the notification. It must show the type and percentage of disability. A certificate from a private doctor or hospital may not be accepted.

⚠️ **Date of Birth Mismatch**: Your date of birth in the NEET application, Class 10 certificate, and application form must match exactly. Even a one-day difference can cause rejection. Verify this before submitting.

⚠️ **Paying Fee But Not Submitting Application**: If you pay the application fee but do not submit the application form with documents by the deadline, your application will not be processed. The fee is non-refundable.

⚠️ **Missing Grievance Deadline**: If your name appears on the 'not eligible' list and you want to challenge it, you must file a grievance within the specified window (usually 2-3 days). If you miss this deadline, you cannot participate in counselling.

⚠️ **Not Filling Web Options**: If you are eligible but do not fill web options by the deadline, you will not be allotted a seat in that phase. You can only participate in subsequent phases or stray vacancy rounds.

• Missing or incomplete documents → rejection
• Wrong certificate type → rejection
• Caste certificate from wrong authority → rejection
• PwBD certificate from wrong authority → rejection
• Date of birth mismatch → rejection
• Paying fee but not submitting application → no processing
• Missing grievance deadline → cannot participate
• Not filling web options → no allotment in that phase
